“I could not be happier, more content, more excited about the return of my America,” he said. “I feel that it had been lost in recent years, and I flew 52 missions in WWII, with the same kind of love I’m experiencing with this moment, with the joy in knowing we have a solid president for the next four years and a return to sanity.”
Lear, who has negatively criticized Trump and once called the sitting president “the middle finger of the American right hand,” brought his social media post to an end with a grateful message to the general public.
“God bless you, America,” he said.
