Off the mark: Of course Junger attacks Trump (arguing he tried to exclude Obama from the American tribe) and ignores Obama’s attacks on the American tribe (apologizing for American sins that are by no means unique to the United States, attacking the “bitter clingers”, arguing that America needs to be fundamentally changed, his wife Michelle saying she’s never been proud to be American).

There’s no correlation between money, power, or education and successful leadership. What leaders do: they give people stories they can tell themselves.

It’s rare that it’s obvious when to lead. The secret to leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. The people who follow you aren’t stupid.
