Donald Trump’s presidency is a perfect example of why it is NOT A GOOD IDEA to entrust the leadership of a country, especially the leadership of the world’s hegemon, to a businessman. The skills necessary for success in business and commerce are very different from the skills necessary to lead a nation to success. Moreover, the bottom line—profit—is no sensible goal for the leader of a nation. There is far, far more to the successful leadership of a nation than merely turning a profit! If I am not greatly mistaken, Trump’s presidency will go down in the annals of history as a failure. — © Mark Alexander
Democracy is an illusion! It’s become a political system fostered by the élite, for the élite, in order to fool the people that they have a stake in the system. In actual fact, they have virtually none. The whole political system in the modern era, despite having noble beginnings, is now used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. – Mark Alexander, June 29, 2018
