The more transparent a leader is with the use of power the more citizens can constrain the abuse of power. On that score, Trump has more political virtue than Hillary
The Frenzied Leftist Search for Trump's Essential Evil
The political Left has for quite some time been on a witch-hunt to find the essential evil of Donald Trump that would eliminate him from the presidential race in the minds of voters. Trump has repeatedly been compared to Hitler and Mussolini in an attempt to irrefutably stigmatize him. But to assess the candidates on whether they are essentially evil we need to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate uses of power.
Government is a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence, coercion, deception and power; or a monopoly on the use of evil. We elect presidents to have the authority to use evil but we only want it used in extreme cases of national emergency and for non-partisan and non-gratuitous purposes.
An example that comes to mind is Pres. Truman's dropping of A-bombs on Japan to end the war with Japan, saving lives on both sides. Winston Churchill refrained from warning the city of Coventry in Britain that the German Luftwaffe was going to bomb it on November 14, 1940, because to do so would have been to tip the Nazis that it had broken Germany's secret military codes. Pres. Ronald Reagan invoked "plausible deniability" that members of his administration sold military weapons to Iran to release American hostages and then used the proceeds of the sale to fund anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua.
