Rick Wilson - WHAT WE LOST WITH TRUMP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

DONALD TRUMP IS A TERRIBLE president. That’s not an aesthetic judgment. That’s not a partisan judgment. It’s a simple tally of his incompetence, recklessness, and the costs he’s imposing on the nation he was elected to lead.

I’m not talking about the usual Washington problems but the bigger, more sweeping costs we face as a nation. The predicate of Never Trump wasn’t simply that he couldn’t be president; it was that he shouldn’t be president. A brief look at the tally of our diminished state follows.

LEADERSHIP

Presidential leadership has that ineffable, know-it-when-you-see-it quality, a quicksilver property that ebbs and flows with the arc of lives and fortunes of the men who hold the highest office in the land. It’s either there or it isn’t.

We saw it in George Washington, not just in the battles he waged and won and the example he set as a leader, but in his dignified departure from power and his return to Mount Vernon after sacrificing so much for so long. He led during the time of our greatest early adversity and never let the power of office or position overtake him.

2. Every word Wilson writes is true, yet here we are again: stuck with Trump for another four unspeakably horrible years.

The inescapable truth is Trump was elected because a plurality of American voters wanted this despicable POS as president again. "Trump is the living, shitty embodiment of a culture that’s more Real Housewives and less Shining City on a Hill." Let's face it, America is literally awash in stupidity, ignorance and trashiness.
