America has a rampant trust problem.
We have a president who doesn’t trust the intelligence community. We have media organizations who don’t trust the president. We have the American people, who don’t trust the media (according to a recent Pew survey, only 32% of Americans say they have a great deal of trust in the media.) And this lack of confidence extends to our government and to our own communities.
Is this symptomatic of 21st-century living? Or have we been here before, during the Vietnam War, or the Great Depression?
