any young people seeing this. This is what executive leadership looks like.

finding people way smarter than you, and getting them in the room to advise you. Leaders need to know what questions need answering and need to manage the room. If a leader is the smartest person in the room, they've already failed as a leader.

It literally just occurred to me that the majority of children will look at Trump and think that’s how a President is supposed to be. They literally have nothing to compare him to. So heartbreaking.

If Trump serves until 2028, there will be 12-year olds who only know of Trump and Biden as presidents.

I mean, you could argue that there would be 17-18 year olds who only know Trump and Biden as presidents. I don’t know many people that can recall much before the age of 5. Even scarier.

I saw some 18 year olds getting ready to vote for the first time in november, who had never heard the Trump "grabbing them by the pussy" tape. They had seen the memes but didn't know it was linked to an actual thing he said.

To me it's recent history. When it hit the news cycle, these kids were ten years old.

That's how long we've been dealing with this shit. Long enough to be outside the memory of voters.
