It is interesting that the line of how do you explain to children how Trump could be president has come up over and over. Is this the first time an immoral/indecent person has become president? How would people have explained Clinton, a person who for decades has been under suspicion of corruption? How did people explain to their children why Bill Clinton was impeached? Or Obama’s extreme narcissism? Keep on going back..Kennedy, Nixon, etc etc. Middos Tovos and moral convictions have never been a consideration for someone’s electability. The only difference is that today there is social media to spread their garbage publicly.
Here is the explanation to give our kids: B”H we as klal yisroel are on a higher madreiga than our surroundings. America has low moral values, and their president reflects this. This is our challenge of being in galus that we have to remember who we are and what we strive for despite our surroundings.
