Traveling around the world, there’s no question that Trump has made it harder to be American. There has always been a fair amount of explaining involved, but there’s no way to rationalize the inexplicable and indefensible, except to note that we are all involved in fighting for freedom in our home countries now. We have to stand tall and accept that being an American now involves a certain amount of embarrassment over the greed, racism, and chauvanism spewing from the White House.

'America 250' (5/13). John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his successor Thomas Jefferson did not share the same view of human nature. Adams, an educated anti-slavery advocate from the North, feared that democracy would perish under the weight of corruption among the powerful.
