How Politicians Can Really Lead Like Lincoln
During his recent visit to the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quoted Abraham Lincoln, asserting that the Ukrainian army would follow the instructions Lincoln once gave to a general: to “chew and choke” the enemy. Zelensky was observing the American bipartisan tradition of invoking Lincoln. Barack Obama launched his first presidential campaign at the Illinois statehouse where Lincoln served, and Donald Trump hosted an interview with Fox News at the Lincoln Memorial. Some of Trump’s Republican critics run a PAC called the Lincoln Project, and President Biden cited Lincoln in his inaugural address.
