One of My Hero’s: Charles Krauthammer

I am so sad that he is gone.

I hope that you knew who he was and were informed by his massively intellectual and wise perspectives on the many people, places and things that he evaluated and commented about.

I hope you will soon read his excellent book, “Things That Matter”. 

I must respectfully disagree with Krauthammer’s harsh comments about President Trump who’s accomplishments, thus far in office, have eclipsed those of nearly all other American Presidents.

I do agree with Krauthammer that his style has too often been jarringly crude in comparison to nearly all of his predecessors. Perhaps Andrew Jackson was his equal in this respect.

Yet, so far, I remain convinced that President Trump is exactly what America needed at this moment in history. In the language of our nation’s Founding Fathers, perhaps Trump’s election to The Presidency of the United States of America was providential.

I will soon read another book by Dr. Krauthammer entitled, “Democratic Realism: An American Policy in a Unipolar World”. I expect that I will be better-off as a result.

Please consider the article that follows the two artistic tributes to Charles Krauthammer below.
