he's just dismantling to return tax dollars to his buddies.

2. "Presidents steered America through reconstruction"

and unfortunately ALSO steered us right into Jim Crow. And right now we are going through Jim Crow 2.

So not really a good example to include.

3. Howard Zinn

Howard Zinn would suggest that the American people steered their way through these crisis, often with the resistance of their political leaders. So they elected new ones.

I'd probably take a bit of a middle of the road approach and suggest that SOME of the leaders saw the direction the people were willing and able to take and lead them in that direction. What is true is that leaders can't accomplish anything if they don't actually get people to take action in the appropriate direction. Right now, the only people Trump is "leading" are the Alt-right.

4. "Right now, the only people Trump is 'leading'..."

He is actually not "leading" anyone. He and his scum "base" are simply following what gets spewed on Faux Snooze and other RW outlets, because that is all he spouts and tweets - whatever comes out of their programs. There are no original thoughts there.
