Well, well, well. So Mister Trump is going to meet with the leader of North Korea. Stunning. For someone who's universally castigated as being a clueless, all thumbs palooka of a leader, this fellow sure gets a lot of things done. Very significant things. One might even say world transforming.
You can hate him, berate him, and try very hard to minimize any of his accomplishments, but President Trump is starting to tip the arguments his way.
President Trump has his own methods, and although they're not spiritually framed like MLK's were, they are just as shrewd.
The President's critics are practically foaming at the mouth, and aren't capable of having any rational discourse with regard to Mr Trump. This new breakthrough with North Korea is so important in the light of world power and security, and so clearly positive, that there's almost no basis on which to criticize it, or him.
This creates a great dilemma. To acknowledge the obvious, that Trump is moving in the right direction, is heretical. At no stage will those who oppose the President ever acquiesce in the slightest. But how does one argue against Trump when there's such obvious evidence that the man is breaking through in world diplomacy? And on a level not seen since Nixon thawing the frosty Chinese. Nixon never got the Peace Prize, but his accomplishment was so objectively worthy the Nobel committee had to give it to someone associated with the détente. So they gave it to his Secretary of State. Anyone but Nixon.
Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, the same year 'Why We Can't Wait' was published. The prize was given because of what King had accomplished in the Birmingham march the previous year, and for the sentiment expressed in his book, including his 'ten commandments.'
In 2018, King (and Mandela, ironically) is seen as a bit of an embarrassment by the racist left. Not militant enough. Too willing to refrain from judging others on the color of their skin, seeing the content of a person's character as more important. How quaint. Fifteen years before MLK made his Birmingham march, Miles Davis rejected Louis Armstrong, because of how willing Satchmo was to perform with white musicians, and because he didn't show sufficient race rage. In the same way, today's race militants demand unbridled anger. This is a mistake.Racism and prejudice are terrible and destructive, no matter the color of the person practicing them. No one gets a pass. Not even great musicians.
Real leadership is when one is willing to sit down with an adversary, and hammer out a solution. Martin Luther King was a great man, and thoroughly deserved his Peace Prize. He was a disruptor who changed America. Donald Trump is a disruptor of a different kind, but no less compelling. He's about to confound his critics once again. Let's hope their heads don't explode.
