I disagree. The American people do not want a Cromwell they want and need a Churchill. He should get in front of the people and tell them what he is doing to save them and to save their prosperity. He certainly can tell them he has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat, but he must also tell him about the sunny uplands.

He does not need to find villains, the president of the United States in his role needs, yes, to fully layout the danger, indeed, he must not sugarcoat the degree of risk but he must also offer reasonable grounds for victory and hope.

and to save their prosperity

Their prosperity, which is based on non-repayable debt, cannot be saved.
