Two diametrically opposed figures, Aristotle and Trump. A deep scholar of history, Professor Thanos Veremis dares to talk to us about the "Nicomachean Ethics," one of Aristotle's most important works, where the Stagirite philosopher explains that the happiness of each person is a work they develop for themselves. Necessary prerequisites are courage, magnanimity, moderation, and justice, which lead to the famous "golden mean" of the great philosopher, the one that constitutes the golden rule, "nothing in excess." Nowadays, American President Donald Trump behaves and acts in extreme contrast to the Stagirite philosopher. He seeks excess and organizes his life based on the exchange of goods, allowing materialism to shape his choices. While Aristotle creates the virtuous eudaimon, Trump manipulates the small materialistic and individualistic person, ignores history, and believes that everything happens for the first time. Thus, instead of foresight, he favors improvisation.
