Article:
Now, picture the Trumpsters (Trump and his entire administration) stepping into the political arena as independent, critical thinkers, boldly declaring their refusal to always conform to the establishment's wishes. The Trumpsters are independent thinkers and make bold decisions to represent the people, not the establishment.
We now have a beacon of hope in a system often mired in conformity, persecution for non-conformity, and entrenched bureaucracy. However, their noble intentions will be met with pushback at every turn. Spending other people s money is hard to give up when the entire system is addicted to this method of existence.

C.S. Lewis:
"A tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive of all tyrannies. Living under robber barons rather than omnipotent moral busybodies would be better. The robber baron s cruelty may sometimes sleep, and his cupidity may sometimes be satiated, but those who torment us for our good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their conscience."
This quote by C.S. Lewis highlights the dangers of a well-intentioned but oppressive leadership.
C.S. Lewis was a British writer, literary scholar, and Anglican theologian. He is known for his essays and public witty public speeches.
