The dregs of humanity populate the upper tiers of the Democratic Party and its propaganda wing in the mainstream media. Mother Teresa would have struggled to like the bitter, confrontational idiots in the Dem upper echelon.
“Mother Teresa?” What about Will Rogers? But more to the point: in this country, a political party that makes the teeth-baring snarl its face to the nation is unlikely to command the allegiances of many for very long. (Please, no comparisons to Hitler. You’ll make Mike Godwin sad.)
Absolutely Mandatory Caveat: A political party is a soulless, conscienceless construct that exists for a single purpose: the pursuit of power. Do not imagine for a moment that the Republican Party is immune to the intellectual and emotional pathogens that are destroying the Democrats. Were its strategists and kingmakers to decide that venom-dripping hatred is the way to improve the GOP’s performance, they would embrace it as the party’s strategy quite readily. Never grant any party your unconditional loyalty. That belongs solely to God.
(PS to Stephen: “Humanity” is not a group but an attribute. The word you wanted is mankind. Leave “humankind” to the politically correct.)

Well put, sir. Like you, I claim no king but Jesus, and yet, I can’t help but observe that Trump bestrides the world like a Colossus, above any mere party loyalty and seeming to owe allegiance to only one thing, viz., The United States of America. He is possibly the only president in my memory who can be seen as actually believing in the Oath of Office that he took, which requires fealty only to the Constitution! It is my opinion that he is acutely aware of his personal mortality and is no longer seeking any self-aggrandizement, contrary to the “popular” opinion among his antagonists, but is pursuing doggedly his perceived mission to Make America Great Again. If, in pursuit of that goal, he simultaneously is intentionally creating a legacy, so be it. What better way to be remembered than as the man who saved America from destruction? I know comparisons are always dangerous, and never totally accurate. but in this way, he is like Washington, who was never in doubt about the mission he was on and never wavered in its pursuit. Washington was truly the “Father” of our country, without whom it is doubtful that it could have emerged from the eight year struggle for independence intact, but Trump may come to be viewed by future generations as another president without whom the nation could not have survived. Time will tell, and I am too old to think that I shall be here to observe history’s judgment. But for this time and place, I am content to support him in his mission.
