A fitting word applies not only to the Leader, but to the whole nation. We get leaders in our own image.

Asian Miracle is based on education, America failed to invest in it. And childbirth nosedived for White Protestants, and their few children are not interested in Math and Sciences anyway, preferring LIberal Arts, so are over-represented in Govt and Law enforcement.

America used to get its educated by destabilizing faraway lands, then open its gates to their well-educated - Europe, Asia, Latin America, Middle East. So the most rapidly growing population is Latino, Blacks, Asians, Catholics, and Muslims who have large families and education, but not the power yet.

Canada is doing the same. Should we not learn from others' mistakes?

Electronic media lauds DPRK's Un for using "Dotard" - Un has done great for American education as Americans had to hit the OED to know what it meant LOL. It appears that the educated in America agree with Un. Trump is Dubya II galore, another WP.
