I always think it’s interesting that George Washington solemnly stated that it would be unwise to have political parties. He thought we should all be Americans and want what’s best for America. Little did he know that Americans disagreed on that score more than on the weather.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson soon split the country into political parties by their adherence to certain policies. But now . . .

“We expect to find a doctor practicing medicine, a lawyer practicing law, an engineer engaged in engineering, school teachers teaching school; but when it comes to politics, we think there is something reprehensible in the fact that those engaged in politics are politicians!”

Perhaps that explains a little why the businessman and non-politician, Donald Trump, is so popular today.
