How the 2026 President (Donald Trump, second term) measures up As of September 2026, Donald Trump is serving his second, non-consecutive term (inaugurated January 20, 2025). Assessments vary sharply by source; below is a synthesis of reported facts mapped to Kennedy’s four criteria.

Dedication — “Devoted solely to serving the public good and the national interest.”

Integrity — “Men who never ran out on either the principles in which they believed or the people who believed in them — men whom neither financial gain nor political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred trust.”

Judgment — “Perceptive judgment of the future as well as the past … with enough wisdom to know that we did not know, and enough candor to admit it.”

Courage — “The courage to stand up to one's enemies — and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's associates — the courage to resist public pressure, as well as private greed.”

John F. Kennedy's "City Upon a Hill" Speech — January 9, 1961 President-elect Kennedy told the Massachusetts legislature that history would judge his administration by four qualities: smbwhitney233757.substack.com/p/the-prism-...

We can do better at listening to one another. We can take a minute, or more, to be kind—to truly be with someone who needs love and tenderness. We can do better

We can do better at giving our love away freely. Love is not meant to be carefully measured. It is meant to breathe freely—in and out, in and out. . youtu.be/txMgF754SCg?...

On the 250th Anniversary, We Hear the Declaration Again in the United States of America
On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we hear clearly that the kind of tyranny our founders named in 1776 is now being practiced by Donald Trump in the United States of America.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.
A powerful narrative portrait of Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald investigative journalist celebrated for her "Perversion of Justice" series, which exposed the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and led to her 2026 Pulitzer Prize special citation. Brown sits in the heart of a newsroom, leaning forward with her hands clasped over the back of a vibrant lime-green chair. Her expression is steady and resolute, a faint, knowing smile playing on her lips. She has shoulder-length, strawberry-blonde hair and wears a crisp, white short-sleeved linen top. Her look is punctuated by bold, artistic accessories: a long necklace featuring large, multi-colored geometric beads and matching statement earrings. The background is filled with the tools of her trade: Dell computer monitors and large wall-mounted screens displaying blurred news segments, including one featuring her own likeness. The composition is balanced and centered, capturing a mood of quiet authority and tireless determination. This image stands as a tribute to Brown’s historical significance in journalism, marking her as a champion for victims whose reporting forced a global reckoning on power and systemic failure.

Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
But that is exactly why we have to keep bringing the conversation back to wages, healthcare, housing, schools, corruption, corporate greed, and who government is actually serving. Democracy is damaged, but it is not dead unless we stop using
010
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
That means voting in primaries, showing up at local meetings, calling offices, organizing neighbors, supporting candidates who refuse corporate money, demanding public town halls, and replacing officials who do not listen. You are right that they divide us with social issues.

Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
A lot of elected officials ignore regular people while serving donors, parties, lobbyists, and their own careers. But I don’t think the answer is to say democracy is gone. I think the answer is to make it harder for them to ignore us. it.

If the government wants to search Americans’ communications, it should get a warrant. Protecting democracy also means protecting the Fourth Amendment. The Senate should reject any surveillance bill that does not include real warrant protections

Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Section 702 is supposed to target foreign communications, but Americans’ data can get swept up too, and agencies can search that information through “backdoor” queries. 🚩No president, Democrat or Republican, should have unchecked surveillance power.

Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
WTH‼️ This is exactly why we have to hold both parties accountable. Forty-two House Democrats joined Republicans to renew FISA Section 702 without the privacy reforms many civil-liberties groups demanded.
