Letter: Trump has liberated us from obligation to lead

Related Topics: Donald Trump

Thanks to President Donald Trump, the first “orange” president (I, too, am “orange,” though a few years older than the president, but similarly pink, yellow, light-skinned, and who knows what other colors), white people of European descent are no longer expected to exhibit competence, to think and express themselves honestly and clearly, or, in short, to lead, regardless of institutions, arsenal, or subordinate organizations.

The United States of America can now slide down the ranks, maybe into the high single-digits, maybe even into the teens.

Regardless, clearly and profoundly, we are not leaders in any sense, thanks to “The Trump” effect.
