4. Lao Tzu on leadership

“When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists.
Next best is a leader who is loved. Next, one who is feared.
The worst is one who is despised.

If you don't trust people, you make them untrustworthy.

The Master speaks little. He never speaks carelessly.
He works without self interest and leaves no trace.
When the work is done, the people say: “Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves.”

and the cost of housing the Japanese PM and his entourage will also line Trump's pockets whether it's paid by Japan or the US.

This guy is a first class gifter.
