Ron Paul: President Trump Is ‘Smashing the Government Religion’

Former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, has never been the biggest cheerleader for President Donald Trump, that is until this past weekend.

With Democrats, their accomplices in the liberal mainstream media and weak-kneed Republicans wringing their hands over the president’s latest controversial tweet, the founder of the GOP’s “liberty movement” shared an article Sunday written by Chris Rossini of the Ron Paul Liberty Report. In it, the author has some pretty simple advice for the president: Keep tweeting.

Rossini wrote, in part:

For a little more than 100 years, all aspects of the political establishment have crafted a he-man known as the American president. He wears a nice suit and tie, is well-spoken, kisses babies, talks about compassion. He looks and acts very “presidential” …

And now Donald Trump comes along as president and starts firing off one tweet after another. The new president is completely off-script!

Trump’s speech, demeanor, attitude and persona are nothing like the deified president that the political classes have created for America.

Unfortunately, Trump’s not contributing to liberty from a policy perspective. His policies have been pure establishment, but we’ll take the tweets nevertheless.

Trump is showing the world that the American president is really just a human being after all. He appeals to and acts like the man on the street.

Is the illusion of the presidency broken?

Probably not. Beliefs take a while to change.

But keep tweeting, President Trump.

Keep smashing the government religion. {eoa}
