Do You Know of a Bigger Contrast . . .
than that which exists between Emerson's message for the ages and Trump's past and current messaging?
While browsing the internet I stumbled upon this writing penned by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
As I read each line, thoughts quickly turned to an opposite; and with each line, the same name popped into my head.
“To laugh...” That former guy only laughs AT others, not with them;
“To win the respect...” He doesn’t care about respect, he wants control, authoritarian control;
“To earn the appreciation...” The 45th disgraced ex-President demands appreciation but refuses to earn it;
and so forth, for each point Emerson mentioned, there is no other greater opposite of Emerson’s “What is Success” messaging than the messaging of disgraced former President Trump.
