I guess we don’t know what the real story is.
I reserved judgment for quite a while, because Trump picked him and stood by him for a long time; and in the beginning, Alabama folks here had faith in him.
But after awhile, one had to wonder why he wasn’t taking initiative on issues that really mattered.
I think Trump is the sort of person who takes people at face value and trusts them - until they prove that they can’t be relied upon. Then, he calculates his plan of action.
I understand that.
“But after awhile, one had to wonder why he wasn’t taking initiative on issues that really mattered”
That was the problem.
It was maddening, frustrating and puzzling. Why won’t he engage?
I can’t pretend to understand, although I have a few pop psychological reasons.
Maybe he really is just too reserved, too timid to move boldly.
Under the current circumstances, we can’t have that.
