Reflecting on the legacy of Christopher Reeve and his views on politics and hope in America, the late actor’s words still ring true today. In a recent verdict involving Donald Trump, Reeve’s sentiments about the American way and its ties to politics are particularly relevant. The evolution of Superman’s motto, “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” raises questions about the current state of American values and leadership. Reeve’s comparison to Trump as Superman serves as a stark reminder of the importance of wisdom in using power responsibly in today’s world.
