Donald Trump attacked the values that this union holds most sacred – democracy, truth, respect for our fellow Americans of all races and faiths, and the sanctity of the free press, there’s a straight line from his wanton disregard for the truth to the attacks on journalists perpetrated by his followers.

The glue that holds all relationships together–including the relationship between the leader and the led–is trust, and trust is based on integrity.

Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.

Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That’s the only way you can get elected.

If only political leaders would allow themselves to feel, as well as to think, the world might be a happier place.
