That David Bowie song came to mind watching the latest Davos moments. Not because he hated Americans—but because the tone matters.
Booing at Davos, attacks on Europe, and Trump claiming NATO would never come to America’s aid—flatly false and insulting to allies who fought and died alongside us after 9/11. Article 5 was triggered once in history, and it was for the United States.
There’s a way to criticize allies without embarrassing the country or rewriting history. Leadership isn’t about shooting from the hip or always declaring victory—it’s about knowing when to check your mouth.
