Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job....

Even if that’s true, you obviously can’t defend Trump’s executive order as rational policy on those grounds. I mean, what are Trump supporters suggesting here?

Lol, what? When did the Tesla become the most prestigious car in the world?

Not at all. Jonathan Chait, for example, seems terribly oversensitive.
