Funny article.

I have often mused over how yesterday's criminals are today's heroes and yesterday's heroes are today's pariahs. One example is the famous Vladimir Putin who was seen as the archenemy of the free United States of America, a disgrace of a criminal who poisoned his enemies and had countless numbers disappear. But today? Trump and his supporters lavish all kinds of praise for the president-for-life. He is amusing, funny, good at Judo, entertaining, lovely to be around, and a buddy like no other to former President Trump, a fellow with a criminal trail of his own.

If we go back in history we can find many more examples, including Alexander the Great, who was really not so great. He is spoken of as the boy wonder, not to mention (quite literally not to mention) his brutal and savage murderous spree across the ancient world.

Public opinion changes faster than work shifts at MacDonalds. Today your Yaroslav Hunka is a Nazi scumbag, but tomorrow Trump could invite him to the White House for a cold bowl of borsht.
