#dwight-eisenhower — Public Fediverse posts

The rise of personality-driven leadership over objective institutions in business and politics is undermining stability and increasing global risk, highlighting the need to restore rules-based governance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/06/world/big-american-personalities-shrink-its-greatness/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #alfredsloan #gm #us #henryford #gm #harrytruman #dwighteisenhower #democraticparty #ronaldreagan #billclinton #barackobama #jeffbezos #vladimirputin #xijinping #narendramodi #donaldtrump #nicolasmaduro #ai #elonmusk

A quotation from Eisenhower

Never let yourself be persuaded that any one Great Man, any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America. When America consists of one leader and 143,000,000 followers, it will no longer be America. Truly American leadership is not of any one man. It is of multitudes of men — and women.

Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969) American general, US President (1953-61)
Essay (1948-10), “An Open Letter to America’s Students,” Reader’s Digest

This Level Of Corruption Requires Stupidity

Three years to the day, I covered the first Veterans Day Proclamation, issued by then-President Dwight Eisenhower 71 years to the day. The proclamations continue. On November 10, 2025, President Donald Trump proclaimed today, November 11, 2025, Veterans Day (see Proclamation). From the Proclamation:

The story of America is written with the courage, honor, and dedicated service of our veterans. Through their sacrifice, the fires of freedom burn brightly, our Republic secured, and our way of life made possible. For nearly 250 years, their unyielding spirit has carried our Nation through every trial and triumph, ensuring that liberty endures for all time. This Veterans Day, we show our gratitude and recommit to honor their service, uphold their legacy, and give every veteran the loyalty, respect, and support they have earned and so dearly deserve.

Finally, the portion designating November 11, 2025, as Veterans Day (which as I noted in 1954, is an annual tradition going back to President Eisenhower):

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2025, as Veterans Day. I encourage all Americans to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our veterans through public ceremonies and private thoughts and prayers of gratitude. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities.

I wish all of America’s Veterans a restful Veterans Day. We should of course also use the occasion to remember those who fought in the First World War, which is the reason our Veterans Day falls in November.

"When #DwightEisenhower was asked if he would have a #MilitaryParade, his response was that #America had the most powerful #military in the #world, and doing so would make America look #weak, as that's what small #dictatorships do."

#ChickenHawk #Republicans in the #GeorgeWBush administration made-up the #BigLie of ‘#AmericanExceptionalism.’ But that #StolenValor was based on heroism of globally admired leaders such as #AbrahamLincoln and #DwightEisenhower , who happened to be #Republican Presidents.

But they only stained the reputation of those historical figures with the now shameful label of the #GOP. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 👉 https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-12-08/ukraine-funding-border-immigration-mitch-mcconnell-republican-party
