The interaction between the former congresswoman and the tech tycoon seems to have provided the media with more material. She worked for the USAID, which has now become a victim in the effort to trim the federal budget. It seems that the tech magnate has forgotten that the strength of a nation is not merely about money, but also about history, culture, and values. The mention of the victory in the Cold War, the confrontation with Soviet communism, and the defense of democracy – are these not manifestations of the so-called American spirit? And her remark about ‘you were not familiar with that part of our history because you were not yet an American citizen,’ seems to imply that the magnate’s view of history is narrow, as he became an American citizen later.
