What FDR can teach Trump as he decides what to do about Syria
“Shrimps” and “cheerful idiots.” The disparaging pet names are decidedly Trumpian in tone, but they were actually the terms President Franklin Roosevelt used to describe isolationists who insisted the rising spread of fascism across Europe was “none of our business.” As Susan Dunn wrote in her penetrating 2013 book “1940: FDR, Willkie, Lindbergh, Hitler — the Election Amid the Storm”: “To designate young isolationists, who deluded themselves into believing that America could remain aloof, secure, and distant from the wars raging in Europe, Roosevelt liked the amusing term ‘shrimps’ — crustaceans possessing a nerve cord but no brain. “In that critical month of May 1940, he finally realized that it was probably a question of when, not if, the United States would be drawn into war. Talk about neutrality or noninvolvement was no longer seasonable as the unimaginable dangers he had barely glimpsed in … [Read more...] about What FDR can teach Trump as he decides what to do about Syria
