If #Trump cannot be described as the most openly corrupt US president in history according to BBC lawyers…then who is?

Much as I despise Richard Nixon, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton for their degradation of the position of POTUS…they don’t hold a candle to Donald Trump.

Self-silencing and obeying in advance are the wrong course of action. Rutger Bregman as an historian knows.

I shall still be listening to Rutger Bregman delivering the #BBC Reith Lectures because I think his work is timely, insightful, gives direction and hope…not things you can say about #Trump.
