American Greatness

 The Eisenhower Solution to Mob Rule

By Christopher DeNeve| May 8th, 2017

There is much that our 45th president can find to admire in our 34th, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

President Eisenhower was both one of the top American presidents of all time, and one of the greatest generals of the Second World War. Because of his commitment to meeting the challenges of his day and helping cement America’s role as a great nation, his poll numbers stayed north of 60 percent for most of his presidency, reaching as high as 80 percent at their peak.

As the bloody stalemate still raged in Korea when he took office, Eisenhower fulfilled his campaign promise to “go to Korea” and ended that war by leveraging his reputation and diplomatic skill, refusing to rule out all options, including a limited nuclear strike, forcing the Communist Chinese and North Korean regime to make peace. In the same way, President Trump intuitively understands that our enemies will take advantage of our foolishness if we rule out military options, broadcast our intentions through the media, and fail to authorize our military to do what it needs to do.    https://amgreatness.com/2017/05/08/eisenhower-solution-mob-rule/
