he is the shittiest leader that I have ever seen.
Why do you think this?
Great question!
Here is what a real leader does, this is just basic warfare:
1) A leader gathers up an army. He usually has to work hard to convince a large enough group of people to follow him and it requires not just hard work but various talents including looking like a leader, charisma, etc.
Trump has 60% to 70% of the american population already dedicated 100% to him. All he did was mirror what those of us that follow him want to hear.
This is the only thing he is good at.
2) A leader must work with his troops and strategieze to build defensive positions and defensive organizational structures.
Do we see Trump doing any of this ON ANY LEVEL, even the most insignificant level?
No. What does he do? He goes on Fox and wastes time.
3) A leader must work with his troops (us) and strategize to build offensive positions and offensive organizational structures.
He financed his own offence the first time around, the next battles are much much much much bigger than him. Even if he sold everything he doesn't have the cash.
Is Trump talking to us about this in any way shape or form? No. He does a few pep rallies here and there and tells us verbal pablum that we heard in 2016. He is no longer talking to us, he is now talking AT US thinking we will just follow him blindiy.
He has become a parody on the offensive front, Marjorie Taylor Greene alone is outclassing him in the sheer amount of offensive noise she makes, and that isn't saying much.
4) But, most importantly, a leader must articulate a vision, paint a picture of the future and describe how we get there together.
In order to do this, a leader must actually have a clue about a whole lot of subjects including history, philosophy, psychology and on and on. A person, especially of Trumps age and experience, should have this down pat, because every single man on this board can articulate all of the above for our people. Not everyone will get it right, but there are A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE HERE. A LOT OF EXPERIENCED PEOPLE HERE.
Has Trump done any of this in any way shape or form? No.
Why?
Because Trump is basically illiterate. Just look at the uncomfortable talks he gives when people liek MTG and others visit him and do a photop.
CONCLUSION: Trump is NOT a leader. What he is a HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH caliber sales producer. He is a salesman of a caliber that we have not seen in a long long time. As well, he is a fighter to the end. He fights and he fights and I admire that. He is the only president that looked the same coming out as when he got in.
But, Trump has no leadership skills. He does know what needs to be done to run a country, that is just common knowledge for anyone that has run a business. He knows what he needs to say to tell us we want to hear. He fight and fight and fights and we all love that, we all respect that.
But the fucking guy has 80 million people completely and totally devoted to him and he has never taken a moment to speak to them. To discuss offense, defense and articulate a vision and a path forward.
What Trump is just a lucky break for us. He told us waht we wanted to hear, what we needed to hear and we put the label of leader on him. We want him as leader but he isn't one. What he is, is our awakening, the initial spark that lit the path forward because now we know everything that needs to be done to fix the country.
He accomplished a great deal, maybe it's too much to expect all of the above from one man.
That is my take on it.
Feel free to disagree I would be happy to hear contra points.
Great explanation. Thank you. Somehow I knew there was a lot of info in that head of yours. Not the typical blow hard, Trump sux blah, blah blah.
You put into words that what I have been struggling to do. I agree with your entire comment. He is lacking in so much yet he is a great salesman. He appears to be sick of the same garbage that we are yet he's spent his entire life profiting off the very people pushing that garbage down the Americans throats.
There is much I like about the man and I certainly appreciate all the arrows he's taken because they would be coming at me and a million other patriots out there. Most people lack the courage or conviction to utter such truths and defend them.
You are correct, there are a lot of very smart people out here that would make great advisors to a leader that really wanted to achieve for America what Trump has verbalized. Where does he go for that advice? To the same swamp that created the mess.
Thanks for the very thoughtful response.
Yup. I appreciate the fact that you can give this man credit for his accomplishments and admit there is something that is bothering all of us in the back of our heads.
Your point on going to the swamp for advice is excellent. He got in with all of his loyal followers, all of whom sacrificed basically everything and some of who that went to jail, lost all their savings and so on. What does he do a year into his presidency? Fires all of his supporters and surrounds him self with his enemies.
Now, don't get me wrong. He still got WAY WAY WAY more done than any republican admin in the last 50 years even with only having like 12 people loyal to him in the whitehouse. He really did move us forward quite a way and he showed us not only that it can be done but that it will be successful. The country was running on all 12 cylinders before the lockdowns because of him, that is how powerful america and the american people are.
The key to taking america back is simple: America is mostly white, most white people suport Trump. You wan't to take down the oligarchy? This is easy:
Get white people to just stop working for like 4 weeks.
Watch what happens. Trump is the only one that can get this to happen. And he isn't fucking doing it. All he has to do is call a general strike by his supporters and 80 million people will stop working tomorrow.
Half the military stops.
Half the cops stop.
Everything that works stops.
What are the banks going to do? Repo more than 50% of the country of 300+ million people what are armed to the teeth.
Trump has soooooooooo much power and he isn't using it.
That is the greatest tragedy in this chapter of our story.
Agreed.
Also if you look at videos of him in his 40's when he was talking he was so much less naive and much more of a fighter. Rona barret interview. Old appearances on Oprah and David letterman. He is not the man he used to be although he has small periods where he is.
There I also the possibility he was compromised when the Jew married his daughter so he had to give too much deference to jewish causes...this is why they targeted her for marriage.
That's assuming he wasn't a cryptojew all along and there is some evidence for that.
Also remember the basic positions that everyone who supports him lauds him for..controlling the border...putting tarriffs on slave labor goods...these aren't rocket science positions. They were THE NORMAL POKITICAL POSITIONS OF BOTH PARTIES UNTIL BILL CLINTON. They are obvious positions of common sense.
But unless Ann coulter runs or maybe Tucker Carlson if he isn't just lying now ..trump is the best we have.
Maybe kristie Noem of south Dakota. Maybe DeSantis of Florida
Again, extremely cojent points. I think this whole thing isn't as difficult of a poblem as we might be feeling. The work is hard, but the problem isn't difficult to understand and solve for.
Extremely well put.
I read your comments with an open mind. There is merit in some of your points. A few hit home with some of my feelings the last few months. I still give President Trump much credit. Without him there would be no MTG or DeSantis on the national stage. If he foments a Patriot revolution, that is still a good thing. Ground up is better than top down.
I just wanted to echo what you said. If Trump had not won we would be in a far far far worse place than we are now.
Before Trump our people were sleep walking through this disaster. Now, all of them are awake.
We have to do the rest of the work our selves.
2) A leader must work with his troops and strategieze to build defensive positions and defensive organizational structures. Do we see Trump doing any of this ON ANY LEVEL, even the most insignificant level?
Yes. He created Space Force, and made it an intelligence agency.
I can’t imagine a good leader whose own supporters’ best defense of his failure was that there was nothing he could do. Everyone was against him! He was helpless and that’s why he couldn’t fulfill his promises!
Out of one side of their mouth they say he DID get the job done but out of the other side say he was helpless. Which is it? Helplessness doesn’t sound like a description of someone who got shit done.
What would a good leader have done differently?
Not cave in to evil on Covid hysteria, for one. Not roll over for Fauci. Not allow an election to be stolen with four years to prepare for it. Dismantle the institutions that obstructed justice. Not merely TALK about and promise draining the swamp, but actually do something about it. Not let the swamp get way way worse on his watch. Not sit idly as governors destroyed the constitutional rights of their citizens. Not bragged about low black unemployment while doing nothing to stop blacks from burning down cities and churches. Not fast track dangerous vaccines.
Not allow criminals who spied on American citizens and lies for FISA warrants to walk away free. Not fail to make any meaningful change in FOUR YEARS within the FBI, CIA and NSA (among others) who continue to victimize American citizens after literally running on a platform to drain the swamp.
Not allow Epstein to be killed or whisked away while in custody of fucking retards instead of treating him like the information asset he truly was.
I can list (and have) HUNDREDS more.
His toothless immigration policy sucked and millions of illegals were never dealt with.
I mean his massive, repeated failures have been laid out, hundreds of times and people are just refusing to see it.
