Teddy Roosevelt Speaks to our Present-Day Woes in America

What Teddy Roosevelt said here lies at the very core of the deep divide in current-day American politics.  While about 60% are on board with TR, about 40% believe the precise opposite, i.e., the United States becomes better by ignoring the needs of the hungry and sick, making rich people richer, systematically eroding the rights of women and minorities, and destroying the environment for profit.

Maybe Roosevelt was wrong.  Maybe Trump’s face will be carved on a national monument.  I doubt it, seriously.
