Mueller Report Shows Trump’s Better Than His Adversaries

By Andrew Klavan    @andrewklavan

One stalwart ploy of leftist writers, commentators and artists is to attach the adjective American to the normal sins of humankind. American Racism. American Injustice. American Sexism. As if these problems exist nowhere but here or as if they were somehow worse here than other places.

In fact, when looked at in context, the word American, when used this way, usually turns out to mean “less.” Less Racism. Less Injustice. Less Sexism. Indeed many of America’s faults and flaws arise from the high standards to which we hold it.

After reading the Mueller Report, I came away with a similar feeling toward Donald Trump. The report gave a picture of Donald Trump that was remarkably Donald Trump-like. He came across as pugilistic, short-tempered, sometimes rash. He had moments of dishonesty and roguery. He often seemed unaware of how things worked and even naive about the level of chicanery in Washington D.C. He was, in short, exactly the Trump we’ve come to know. He turns out to be just as he seems.

And that alone makes him better than the people who hate him and the reporters who cover him.

In the context of the political swamp, it turns out Trump Dishonesty means less dishonesty, Trump Deception means less deception and Trump Abuse of Power means less abuse of power than the dishonesty, deception and abuse that is all around him.

Sure, the way the report tells it, Trump tried to derail or influence the investigation in ways he should not have. A few times he even lied about what he’d done or what his motives were in doing it.
