Having read in the past year books about former Presidents Washington, Lincoln, and FDR, I have come to understand just how lucky America is for these three to have served their country and just how dangerous our current President is. Washington, the Revolutionary War, and the President of the new Republic. Lincoln in the Black Hawk War, preserving the Union and the Emancipation Proclamation, saved the Union. FDR not only brought the country out of the Great Recession but also passed the S/S, Glass-Steagall, plus many others that Americans take for granted now. Of the three, FDR was not only a political genius, but was smart enough to pick the best and brightest for his Cabinet. As Americans, we all should be extremely afraid that Trump never has to face what these three did. With Trump, there is no best or brightest in his Cabinet, just yes men.
