The New Colossus” was written by Emma Lazarus in 1883 as a fundraiser to pay for the base of the Statue of Liberty. It was engraved on a plaque and mounted inside the lower level in 1903. One line of the poem is readily recalled by most Americans:

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

But the entire poem is a mission statement, a declaration of purpose for our nation. It begins:

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning. And her name,

Mother of Exiles.”

Historians will write books and many will discuss how it was possible that such a person could have become President.

FINALLY, Trump is being presidential in a disaster.........

He has ordered several of the nation's large DC-10 firefighting tankers to head towards Indiana as we speak..........

FINALLY, Trump is acting Presidential in response to a disaster.....

He has dispatched several DC-10 Firefighting tankers to Indiana as we speak.....

I guess Donald Trump is smarter than they are.
