[Thankyou Ed Cline! It is important that a man, an American man, says this so clearly. Olivia.]
Instead of an essay, I offer an image of John Paul Jones by N.C. Wyeth (1928). It is what Trump should be on issues on the table during this election year. He should be hammering Hillary Clinton and her statist clique without mercy, hesitation, or apology. He should never strike the American colors. He should call Obama and Clinton the destructive, power-lusting creatures they are and have proven to be for years. This image is what Americans hope he will be all the way to the White House. He should ask for no quarter, nor offer any. He should crush Clinton into the pathetic pond scum she is and always has been. Smashing Clinton without reservation or regret is what this battle calls for. Clinton and the news media should not be permitted to set the terms of the fight. Remember, Jones not only defended American shores, but took the battle to the British Isles and raided the towns there. Trump should be badgering Clinton without surcease, until she has another "concussion" and goes full wacky as she has shown the country she can be and probably has been for a long time. In the meantime, here is an image of true immigrants who really did "build that" country we call America.
Excuse my hubris, but here is a passage from the Epilogue of Hugh Kenrick, Book Two of Sparrowhawk that I think should accompany the Thompson illustration:
