Make American great again

The mantra “Make America great again” has been used by Mr Trump in this election season to summarize what the candidate suggests he can change about the United States. I disagree with Mr Trump on so many things and also reject his candidacy based on what he has demonstrated to be his personal values.

If you feel it is necessary to make America great again, allow me to offer a very different vision starting from a similar place. “That used to be us” is a book by Thomas Freidman and Michael Mandelbaum (see the wikipedia summary). While Trump and Friedman are both concerned. they have very different perspectives on globalization, diversity, education and energy. I have read most of the Friedman books and his analysis and explanations are deep and nuanced. You get a very complete picture without the vagueness I find in the Trump rhetoric.
