Elise this was excellent! I was initially sorry to see that this visit took place because of how Trump would use it to pump himself up. Still true. But the King made his visit important, giving us a message in a way no one else could have.

I am (don't cringe) reminded of Michelle Obama's remark "when they go low we go high" which is now disparaged. The King went high as only he could. Trump who likes to project that he is king- could not, did not and does not, go high. And will not. Our shared values are not on his card. Divisiveness, threat and war are. I don't know if the King's message got through to Trump- or will. But it was masterful.
