From Fox News' Maria Bartiromo and James Freeman, of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page:
Win or lose, America’s 45th president deserves credit for a more competitive economy, a nation at peace and a secure rule of law….
If Americans vote Mr. Trump out next week, they may thank him for maintaining the rule of law and constitutional governance long after he leaves the Oval Office—and long after his odd comments have been forgotten [my emphases].
Are they trying to kid us or have they simply kidded themselves out of partisan delusions?
Trump, indisputably, will dwell in the annals of American presidential history as the most lawless, corrupt chief executive. According to sundry, corroborating administration-insider reports (not the "deep state," which is nonexistent), while in office he repeatedly instructed aides to knowingly break the law — which, most often, they refused to do, knowing his shambolic brain would soon forget about his unscrupulous directives.
At other times, either single-handedly or in concert with his soul-scrubbed attorney general, Trump carried out his unAmerican authoritarianism in plain public view. Hey, you don't like it? Whaddaya do about it? (It's his mobster training.)
Which Ms. Bartiromo and Mr. Freeman call a secure rule of law.
