Raison d'Etre


It seems that most luminaries have a central motivating force, a raison d'etre  ...  something that underlies many of their actions. Thinking about this notion, brought the following instances to mind:

Bill Clinton: Sex ... Hillary Clinton: Money and power ... Mitch McConnell: Conservative judges ... Nancy Pelosi: Eternal youth ... Donald Trump: Deals ... Vladamir Putin: Machismo ... Barack Obama: Style ... Elizabeth Warren: Stridency ... Kim Jong-un: Swiss cheese ... Al Gore: Climate change ... Emanuel Macron: Fraternite ... Joe Biden: Touchy-feely, Xi Jinping: Next Chinese Dynasty
