Our country and our culture are being undermined and destroyed by terrorists. What we are doing about it is not working. We treasure our federal system of government. If President Trump is forced to call in the Army, it sets a dangerous precedent for him and for the country and future presidents.
We need a “diplomat in chief” to lead us in rediscovering the value and benefit of conscientious compromise. No matter the issue, we are deeply divided — seemingly as a matter of principle. A divided house, with a foundation under siege at every corner, cannot stand.
Trump should forget about the campaign and make the biggest deal of his life. Announce over Twitter his intentions to call a convocation to Camp David of all the most respected and brightest leaders on all sides of each issue, from law enforcement, government, media and civil rights to unite the country in a reform program. If successful in this effort, he easily wins the election in a landslide.
With this action, he sets a national preference to settle our differences with talking instead of rioting. Bringing us together, after the devastating events of the past few months, is the No. 1 issue in the minds of voters everywhere.
