The New America

Two quotes from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick today underscore what America has become. Lutnick, being interviewed by Fox News host Martha MacCallum, asked this question of Canada:

"What are you doing for us?"

At another point in the interview, Lutnick laid down the first rule Trumpism: "America first." "The starting point is that we care about America first," he said.

America has become a me-me-me nation. Me first. Give me, give me, give me.

Caring about our own is good. But somehow, we have wandered beyond that -- wandered into callousness. Giving no thought to others is not something we should practice.
