This piece is shocking in that nobody was interviewed. Not one single source anonymous nor named. This fails journalism 101 for me.

It's not journalism. It's clearly indicated that the authour of the is the president of the country. So a nice term might be guest writer, but of course everybody knows that it is as neutral as a paid advertisement.

Ordinary citizens: Even in a US presidential state of the union, the Presidents (Trump included) will quote ordinary citizens about how the country is doing.
