Not enough people truly understand any of these concepts that you referenced here. That is an indictment to the "education" that is being taught in public schools.
i’d suggest the problem isn’t there are too many trumps- but there are too many Romney’s, mccain’s or bushes- the party pretenders.
these people fake the talk then insert their walk.
what should be is the leadership and committee heads need to be a trump extension, commandeering the line and fostering tactics that demerit the false talkers. no committee assignments, and putting them into a 12 step program.
I fundamentally disagree with labeling Trump 'chaotic' or any of his cabinet. You are dressing up - rationalizing - copping left-wing media narratives. It does not work. Trump is the least chaotic individual there is. He is dynamic. He is at times unpredictable. He alternates modes of communication from sharp to funny to serious to pragmatic and more. I do not see 'chaos' - I see perpetual motion. I see a man who doesn't sleep and functions like an elite athlete - day in and day out. Aside from that - Salazar and this new amnesty push - is not merely Democrat policy rehashed - it's old Bush era Republican policy. The problem Trump has - now as ever - is to tame wayward turncoat Republicans who love themselves for their ersatz 'independence' - when they are really just turncoats. Ever heard of Lead, Follow or Get out of the way? Republicans are not strategists. They are too enamored of playing a role as the JV team to Democrats because 'that's how things are done' - Trump is unique for untold reasons. In 10 years - I have yet to read him as what Demonrats call him - chaotic. His cabinet - btw - is the biggest brain trust in our history. They all have maintained their own personas - to their credit; and they are all appreciated for that and a lot more. I could listen to each and every one of them all day - even RFK, Jr. - with his compromised vocal chords.
The comparison to the revolution against the British clarified your argument but it did not hit a home run to me. I got where you’re trying to go but the early Americans were fighting a war, something the American military does very well during a fight, flex shift and change the battlefield, with some war crimes rules being obeyed. I’m not sure that’s how we should lead a country. Doing so without the voice of others creates an echo chamber in the Cabinet. Echo chambers look unified but make horrible decisions. CEO’s have more unlimited authority than the President does and they know well to include a leadership team with diverse views and ideas.
He’s got legal limitations on what he can or cannot do You’re essentially saying he doesn’t have to obey the constitution because Trump just pushes flexible boundaries of government to get things done. Others were too weak or stupid to do what he’s trying to do. That’s not what I see.
He’s attempting to act like a King, particularly within his cabinet by requiring blinding allegiance, and to shape all of America and our government to mimic his vision for it in under two years. I understand he’s going to push the limits and he is challenging Congress and the Supreme Court to stop him. I’m not supportive that’s the way to lead. Dictate like a King, yes, but leadership is bringing others along with your vision to move forward together in Sync. That includes congress and the public. It never hurts to explain what he’s doing and where he’s going. That doesn’t mean you need their agreement but a confident leader can stand in front of others and clearly and calmly explain their vision and actions. Trump is a poor communicator, and leadership requires communication. Kings don’t need this skill.
This doesn’t mean I disagree with some of his policy pushes. In fact I support many of them but disagree with how they’re being executed or communicated or both.
Many Trumpers think disagreeing with him or anything he does disqualifies us as republicans and we should be sent into the lake of fire. I’ve lost long time friends over my failure to bow to the feet of Trump and disengage my brain blindly. I’m a lifelong Republican and I have a brain and I choose to voice it at times.
So, having a strong President lead us requires congress to do their job. Most of the problems we have now and being worked on by Trump are caused by congress not doing their job. (And to a degree a lazy Republican electorate that kept quiet for way too long). We need to put the blame where it belongs and get that institution changed and since people show a lack of urgency and won’t vote incumbents out with a broad broom, I support strong term limits to remove career politicians out of there.
So to close my rant and further inflame some folks I’ll finish with this. True leaders don’t reject criticism, they consider it and determine if helpful input for future decisions. They work hard for the goals they are tasked with and are satisfied they’ve done the best they could and let their legacy be decided by others. What they don’t do is erect monuments on their own, place their name on buildings at their own direction, or plan grand projects to display how great they are before their work is done. If history shows he’s been a great President these things will happen. He needs to keep his work, and our government, focused on the work at hand and not add to the chaos in actions of self aggrandizement. His legacy will establish itself.
And the greatest shock to the British officers was the colonists’ defiance of the previous norm that only officers could attack officers of the opposing side. What a terrible shock when they saw that their fellow officers were being killed by upstart colonial “commoners!”
