You’re both right...and both wrong.
Trump did marshal forces pursuant to a goal, but he failed in his role as leader by permitting the cabal - with an undeniable ulterior motive - to run amok and, more than trample upon, literally shit on the US Constitution.
That stated, if Trump wasn’t merely ‘permitted’ to survive the onslaught unleashed against him - including the most recent shitstorm of usurping elections in the most devastating national conspiracy in US history - he is undeniably one of the last bastion against those who would see the USC replaced with a document conversely related to the citizenry as it has for the last 239 years.
I am emotionally beholden to no leader, nor should anyone else. Trump’s fault at present is to maintain his pro-jab stance and his prior actions - including presiding over a reckless medical cabal spearheaded by those with declared ulterior motives - merit a SIGNIFICANT mea culpa.
On that point I will maintain critique until such a time as he wakes the hell up but cannot easily dismiss the man about whom the enemy has expressed such fear (as recent history - i.e., his entire presidency > current - has demonstrated).
We should all support him, which INCLUDES accolades, critique AND - MOST SIGNIFICANTLY - pressure to DO THE RIGHT THING.
I agree with your post even if I largely agree (but not fully) since I do also believe Trump shares a portion of that responsibility, in the same way the Captain of a naval vessel may also share the responsibility when a ship runs aground, but would add one thing:
WE as citizens delegated and enabled President Trump to use the power of the Chief Executive to act on our behalf. If someone went amok (as I also believe they did 9YearLurker) the responsibility is ours as well.
