“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” was made famous as a rallying cry by FDR. Trump just repeated the line, and couldn’t have meant it more differently—or darkly.

About the authors: James Roosevelt, Jr. is a grandson of President Franklin Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Henry Scott Wallace’s grandfather, Henry A. Wallace, served President Franklin Roosevelt as Secretary of Agriculture, Vice President, and Secretary of Commerce.

“Our constitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the world has ever known,” he exalted. “It has met every stress … of foreign wars, and of bitter internal strife.” So, yes, America, times are tough, said FDR, but they’ve been worse, and with “the warm courage of national unity,” there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. With resolute action by a newly invigorated government, there is nothing at all to fear.
