I’m not a huge fan of the film The African Queen. I’ve actually only seen it twice. But I know it well enough to know that, much as I’d like to tell you I identify with Charlie Allnut, Humphrey Bogart’s character in the film, I’m actually closer to Rose Sayer, as portrayed by Katharine Hepburn. I’m aging and unmarried, straitlaced, religious, and set in my ways.
In the last few years I’ve discovered another personal resemblance to Rose. I feel as if I’m riding a boat down a river, in hostile territory, tied up with, and dependent on, someone I’m dubious about.
President Donald Trump is Charlie Allnut to me.

Remind me again who Lars Walker is. Actually, nevermind. He's not someone I need to know more about.

FTA: Charlie Allnut is uncouth, and he drinks (which President Trump, I’m told, does not), but he’s done what no one else has done for me. He’s getting me through the rapids and the marshes and the crocodiles and the Germans. He isn’t the man I’d choose, but he’s the man on the job.
That's pretty much my own opinion. I do have to say, however, President Trump is prettier than Charlie Allnut.

The author states how much of of a bum Charlie Allnut was but she must have forgot that Rose fell in love and married him.

I am so sick of the whining about Trump's behavior. It's like waking up in the middle of the night to find burglars in the house, calling the police who arrive and arrest the crooks and have to rough them up a bit. Then the homeowner whines about the cop's behavior toward the crooks? REALLY?
The mushy middle people dislike the hubbub. I have news for them. What the Left/dems/media/deep state has done over the last couple of decades and especially since Trump was elected is ENORMOUSLY CRIMINAL and threatens our Country and way of life. That Trump is boldly confronting them and roughing them up a bit in the process should be celebrated. They deserve it and far more.
Who else would dare to do it? Lars Walker? Going to write a polite, whiny article criticizing them which would accomplish NOTHING? Further, criticizing Trump's well earned words plays into the hands of the Left who are free to say and do whatever they want but want to slap totalitarian constraints on Conservatives.
Like it or not, this is a WAR for our Country and wars are not fought politely or quietly. Look at the all out assault tactics the Left is using. By comparison, Trump is a gentleman. Lars Walkers are not going to win this war. They have no capability to do what is needed. Maybe they should be more appreciative of those who are doing the incredibly hard work of corralling the crooks, even if they drop a few "bad words" from time to time in the process.

My husband is a veteran of the Navy (submarines) and corporate American business. He likens Trump to the kind of captain or chief executive who comes to turn things around - usually not someone who is appropriate for normal times but absolutely necessary when the shoals beckon. I think my husband understands the situation and Lars Walker seems to see it the same way. When GWB was President some of you likened him to a wily poker player - cool, in control and anticipating his opponents’ every move or to some mythical Texan (who is always present in Texans’ minds) - just short of Pecos Bill in power, wisdom and brashness. He was none of those things and his allegiances now appear treacherous and his decisions foolish. I have grown to love President Trump and he is an inspiring leader but when someone tries to make sense of his bumptiousness they aren’t an enemy to be denigrated and dismissed. They speak for millions of others who have never seen a President like this and want to understand him even as they find themselves liking him more and more.

Wonderful analogy. I find that President Trump's push back at these criminal leftists to be wonderfully refreshing, and it is EFFECTIVE. All the whiny, wimpy, polite LOSERS like Romney and others, seem to have actually sold us into slavery to the Globalists while they are having their pleasant little coffee klatches and uptown parties.
I had never seen Trump on TV before he decided to run, had very little idea about him at all, had barely heard the name, some sort of a real estate guy in NYC, not a place I like at all. But when he started talking, and what he said, I literally laughed, and said, "He's great, I wonder if he means any of this bluster?"
And he did mean it, and I am on the Trump train as long as it is headed away from the Globalists and towards Making America Great Again.
Welcome aboard, Mr. Walker, mind your hat and parasol.
