What a great essay!!! I taught American history for 20 years...your essay captures the greatness and historic uniqueness of Washington!! We were sooooo fortunate to have him as a first president!! This should be required reading!! Thanks for your very meaningful comparison...Trump is a disaster for this country on every level!!
I wish everyone in USA could read this. Maybe the DNC could mail out reprints for people to share with their MAGA relatives? Between you and Ossoff maybe democracy has a chance. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Donald “Shitforbrains” Trump is a vile, venal, malignant narcissist. He’s no better than, and is worse than most rabid animals. And should be dealt with accordingly.
100% agree except for one thing: rabid animals are rabid through no fault of their own and deserve some sympathy. President Narcissistic "Shitforbrains" revels in his ignorance, cruelty and complete lack of character and, for some unfathomable reason, MAGA does, too.
And FDR shared the one trait that sets the greatest Presidents, Lincoln and Washington, apart: CHARACTER! Something the orange turd has never possessed even a thimble of, and certainly never will.
Wow! I am blown away. You just keep on writing the truth and warnings and it's all right here in front of anyone who wants to read it. I am 81 years old, a retired journalist/university communication teacher, and I applaud your willingness to work so hard on our behalf, especially your logical thinking and attention to proof and reason. Well done, my Substack friend!

I wish every American could read this. I’ve always admired Washington, but Dean you have such an outstanding way of communicating you’ve created a piece that is uniquely clear and persuasive. How far America has fallen. Thank you for your dogged support.
I’ve learned more in-depth American history reading your posts, and other Substackers, than I did during most of my 57 years living in the U.S. Superb writing!🇬🇧
You are by far my favorite substack writer - I rarely miss reading one of your articles. Today you've outdone even yourself. Thanks, Dean!
Ditto!
The Father of our Country... versus the Mother of all Motherf**kers.... Seems like a fair comparison....

Husband of Ruth, there ARE emoticons to replace shit, for, and brains. A picture is worth a thousand words. Three pictures? Exponential.

Oh I couldn’t agree more.
Great article, but the only president who had 3 terms was FDR and I wouldn't call him a lesser man
And FDR shared the one trait that sets the greatest Presidents, Lincoln and Washington, apart: CHARACTER! Something the orange turd has never possessed even a thimble of, and certainly never will.
Actually, FDR was elected to FOUR terms, but died a month after his fourth inauguration.

Great writing Dean, as ever highlighting how far the Presidency has fallen under Trump.
Great essay. I love learning about our country from our neighbours . Spelling antiquified for improved comprehension among those very polite people.
The should be read, spoken, shared nation wide. Thank you, Dean.
Wow the contrast is stark. Polar opposites. Great piece Dean.
Dean, such a lovely post. Thank you!
