Fred Trump, son of German immigrants around 1905, and his son Donald Trump, as beneficiaries of the opportunities the U.S. offered immigrants and the New Deal offered homeowners
08/12/2016
Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump grew up in the era of Woodrow Wilson with opportunities for German immigrants even though many families like that of Fred Trump spoke mostly German at home. It was the period following a wave of German immigration from the 1850's to cities like St. Louis, in which another famous immigrant Joseph Pulitzer arrived in America. Some of the leaders in the German community in St. Louis were fleeing Germany after the revolution of 1848 led to suppression of liberties. Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft, never debated about the value of immigrants to the country at the time around 1905. T.R was known to go into workplaces where immigrants worked in poor conditions so that he could improve these conditions. In 2016 children of children of immigrants were debating the value of immigrants to the country, forgetting their origins and the opportunities opened to them by TR, Wilson and Taft.

Donald Trump's economic advisory team with John Paulson, and many businessmen from the hedge funds and financial industry- at odds with the image of being with Main Street
08/05/2016
The 2008 financial crisis hurt the prospects of older white Americans who faced higher unemployment. It also led to the rescue of the financial industry and rates dropping to zero hurting the savings of ordinary Americans, and as the FDIC's Sheila Bair pointed out not much done to rescue homeowners under water. During the 2008 election candidates John McCain and Barrack Obama, both had connections to the real estate and financial industry, to lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as cited in the media. This time is no different with Clinton and Trump both having connections to Wall Street yet seeking the support of ordinary Americans hurt by the 2008 financial crisis. The only difference is that Clinton faces a movement within her party led by Bernie Sanders that calls for a different approach this time. There is also little difference between the economic team that Jeb Bush put together in its connections to Wall Street with Columbia University Business School Dean Hubbard and that of Trump.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
