“Trump could be the most honest president in modern history.” Interested in how and why??
The Chicago Tribune Editorial Perspective in the above statement reported the reasons for the how and why Trump is honest. What to me is most significant is the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, in my opinion, at times leans left of Trump. What is even more astonishing is the author of the article is a writer for the Washington Post, probably the most left-leaning news source in the nation.
The purpose of this post is to share this article with my California blogging friend Doug, who is a self-admitted Trump hater, has stated he would be” fulfilled” when Trump is is ousted out of office, and intends to vote for his choice of candidates in the upcoming election, only if they do not support Trump, “the most honest President in modern history.”
Perhaps this post will change his mind, providing his mind and other Trump haters have the capacity to become open-minded to appreciate rather than rebuke his honest efforts to fulfill his campaign promises.
King Solomon
In the end, people appreciate honest criticism far more than flattery. (Proverb 28:23)
“He that rebuked a man, His friend, and acquaintance, for any fault committed by him; which reproof he gives in a free and faithful manner, yet kind, tender, and affectionate.” (Excerpt Source HERE)
What’s My Point?
Hopefully, my friend Doug, will read this post and understand that I am passing on this information, not as a rebuke, but as a friend would do in a kind, tender, and affectionate manner.
In other words, I am trying to enlighten him to recognize President Trump is honest in attempting to accomplish his campaign promises, unlike a lot of empty suit politicians who after winning an election forget their campaign promises.
In My Opinion
The article implies President Trump at times lies. However, in a previous post in the Source Links below, I explained how medical science has discovered why politicians lie. Everyone knows politicians tell white lies, withhold information or private opinions, or believe telling the truth sometimes may cause more harm than good to heal hot political issues.
If Interested?
Read the Chicago Tribune article and previous posts about President Trump accomplishments in his first two years in office.
You Decide
Will President Trump’s be known in the future as Honest Trump and will a statue of him be built in Washington DC along the statue of “Honest Abe?”
Regards and good will blogging.

Rudy u Martinka 
I’m honored that you are making posts selecting me out from the “herd'” of your readership, Rudy. I have to admit I ended up spitting my morning beverage against my monitor as I saw the title of your post displayed in my email notification.
You might want to toddle over to any fact-check site and read up on the stats that so far Obama has made more campaign promises a reality than Trump has. Perhaps he will do better by time he leaves office.. whenever that is, Mueller and God willing.

Doug,
Sorry if my post surprised or upset you.
As for your recommendation to seek out a fact check site, why would I ever want to question the validity of a Washington Post article to check for facts? Are you implying this news source is a rag news source??
As for Mueller in the future, the only thing I envision about the final outcome of his probe is to I hear him and you singing a duet of a song to express your feelings about the outcome of his probe.
If interested, listen to this song verses of the “you,” being President Trump, enlightened you and Mueller.
Regards and good will blogging.

Rudy… I read the article and saw no comparison stats that his campaign promise achievements are exceeding those of previous presidents. In fact, the last paragraph of your linked article by the Post fellow…
“The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping. He’d probably say it’s the best in history — which may or may not end up being true. It’s too soon to tell.”
The author himself doesn’t even suggest Trump’s achievement is better… just that he’s keeping true to form in hammering away at what he did promise… then suggesting that alone makes Trump some epitome of honesty.
Look… you can rest assured that if Trump leaves office before finishing his term I will NOT be celebrating in the streets.. there will be no joy in Mudville. For me I will see it as “further damage to the nation has been contained”. There will be no “Whoopie!” from me. Right or wrong, a large percentage of Americans felt compelled to vote for him IN SPITE OF HIS CHARACTER, in spite of his obvious behavioral shortcomings, in spite of his complete inexperience in any sort of politics or diplomacy, in spite of his disrespect for presidential traditions, in spite of his complete incivility, in spite of his constant lies….. either because they hated Hillary for some Clinton bias, or they thought Trump was actually going to make their lives better… or more to the point, they thought Trump would return to their world of white nationalism. When Trump is gone these folks are still out there. The next president must serve ALL Americans.. not do what Trump is doing and just catering to his clamoring base that loves his nonsense tough talk and degrading name calling of other Americans he is also supposed to be serving. As a nation we have lost prestige, our international integrity, and most important our internal divisiveness has made our form of democracy that we push so vehemently look questionable to developing nations.
Regarding his promises kept… a majority of those issues were campaign noise-making and totally NOT based upon any knowledge or experience to know what the heck he was talking about. He used unfounded fear with every issue… and he was just transferring his own white biases onto those foolish enough to believe him.. and follow him.
No, Rudy… him leaving, whether it’s soon or in 2020, is a win for the country.. not liberals or democrats.

I think that phrase was more applied to each and every voter that used their vote for Trump back in 2016. A human part of me wants to rub every Trump supporter’s nose in what Trump has done. Another human part of me is what I replied to you… the next president needs to listen to those Trump supporters who feel they needed to vote for him and NOT do what Trump has done by favoring only “certain” Americans and not all. But that’s just me.
