In 2006 Time Magazine used a reflective Mylar plane to present its “Person of the Year” which was “You”, basically anyone who obtained an issue would see his or her reflection. Well, it is time for Time to just dust off those old Mylar sheets and bring them out of retirement. Instead of Person of the Year, however, the new purpose would be to answer the question: Who would be a better president than Donald Trump? Answer: “You” (most of “You” anyway!).

“You” would have enough respect for the presidency to work with the established intelligence agencies to try to eliminate any foreign interference in our elections and not just dub all of their efforts a “hoax” and a “witch hunt”. Trump, though, appeared to have a complete lack of concern about the primary discovery of the Mueller report that “the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion”.

While “You” might forget the words “person woman man camera tv”, “You” would remember the words “…preserve, protect and defend the Constitution…” far longer than Donald Trump. “You” would not hold private meetings with adversaries to the U.S. sans any other representatives as Trump has done with Russia on at least 5 occasions.

“You” wouldn’t inspire people like Republican Senator, Ben Sasse of Nebraska to raise concerns about Trump “kissing dictators’ butts” and that the government under Trump routinely “sells out our allies”. He also noted recently that Trump “mocks Evangelicals in private” (multiple sources).

When provided information as to a potential pandemic, “You” wouldn’t keep the information from the citizens by “playing it down” and then later refer to it as a Democratic “hoax” while providing misinformation on dealing with the disease.

“You” wouldn’t experience multitudes of ex cabinet members and staffers leave your administration and declare support for the opposition.

So, Who would be a better President than Donald Trump?: “You” … and Joe Biden too!

Personal Note: My wife and I truly miss playing bridge at the Village and so we offer the following bid: 7 NO Trump!
