On Worthy Teams & Patriots

 

Don Surber has a fun and intriguing column up on his Substack, entitled "A Team Worthy of 1776" in which he drew comparisons (with words and pictures) between Trump's Cabinet/Team and our nation's Founding Fathers and First Lady.   Here's two to guess before before heading over to read about them and the others, with the Turncoat at the bottom identified in advance. 

As Surber notes: "...the 5 richest men in America signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. They actually had fortunes and sacred honor to pledge. The signing was August 2, 1776, when 50 of the 56 delegates to the Continental Congress put their John Hancock's on the declaration—including John Hancock.

The sixth richest man was an otherwise engaged General George Washington.

For the first 50 years including five presidencies, these men midwifed a nation like no other in the world because it was founded on the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They nursed it through its infancy.

The Founding Fathers faced the hangman for treason if they failed. Trump assembled a team to restore the republic. They face imprisonment if they fail. They are led by a man who faced the same fate."

As I was saying…..
