With history, you gain perspective. You gain a sense of what’s truly near you, what’s far away, and how one thing flows from another. That’s why, in my talk entitled “Measuring From The American Past—Four Stories And The Trump Presidency”, I share a set of brief insights from American history to help us know how to fit the Presidency of Donald Trump into 2020 and beyond. These stories speak to circumstance, leadership, events, and outcomes. Our time together will be an exercise in creativity, reflection, and thoughtfulness.
