Earlier today my wife sent me an opinion by Jennifer Rubin.
Her first paragraph is one of the most perfect pieces of writing that I have ever read.
She says in very few words what it has taken me, multiple times, hundreds of words to even try to get my thoughts out on the table.
And there ends up, each time, not much on my table.
Not like her table.
Here are her words:
No president has understood less about what makes America great than Donald Trump; none has been more ignorant of the post-WWII international framework that allowed America to remain the premier superpower. In systematically weakening alliances, frittering away our moral authority, aligning himself with international dictators, trashing multilateral organizations, hollowing out the State Department and showing himself to be a feckless, corrupt bully, he has weakened America’s standing around the world to a degree no foreign enemy could have achieved. He always puts America Last.
I have tried to address that subject a number of times.
I thought each time that I had done well and that my address was long because it was a complicated subject.
She does it with 108 words.
Here is an example of my attempts; Jennifer wins on all counts, paramount among criteria, brevity.
