“….We should not be seen to make any criticism of [Trump] at all. Particularly as the President is known to be a sensitive type. (which is a fact not a criticism. I am also sensitive…”
Well since your are sensitive, I won’t say that is one of the dumbest suggestions I think we have read here …I first thought you were engaging in some sarcasm or satire but then I realized you might be serious. We should always respond positively and show hakoras ha’tov when our elected leaders take actions that we support but should not remain silent in the face of actions we oppose, weather in relation to religious or secular matters. Too many American yidden sat on their hands in the late 1930s right through the end of WWII while the American president refused to take action which would have saved tens of thousand of yiddeshe lives. Trump’s presidency so far has been a very mixed outcome and to feel we have to forego our voice for one instance of reversing an unjust sentence, reminder that the other case of a Presidential pardon was for a racist sheriff in Arizona who was condemned by most of those supporting SMR’s release.
