Sears was at civil war and in need of a new leader. In 1978, Edward R. Telling became the Sears chairman, and by 1984 Sears was back on top, bigger than ever. Telling turned things around so dramatically it seemed like a miracle.

President Donald J. Trump’s second term in office will be the most consequential administration in history because of the people and the policies that are markedly different than his first term.
