....again.
After 5 or 6 years of this, he should know better. He shouldn't put himself in this position. The fact that he did speaks to very serious problems with his judgement.
What I see about President Trump is that he is still a lone wolf fighter. He doesn’t have an ability to utilize strong staff and especially a strong staff that he uses as a full sounding board and distributive apparatus. Most strong governmental and military leaders in history have used such individuals. There have been a few exceptions, amongst them, Winston Churchill.
Churchill was a revisor, a rehearser and a practiced rhetorician knowing how to listen to and review his own words. He dictated and transcribed almost all of his speeches and rehearsed them prior to delivery. Trump will use prepared speeches on occasion but is overly dependent on his argumentative gifts off-the-cuff; the talent that made him an historic deal maker.
This is a component that made him unable to properly delegate and staff beyond those areas he was not passionately involved minute by minute. We see here an example of this limitation — he simply had no strong lieutenant to tell him, No boss, that isn’t how you need to say it.
President Trump has announced he is seeking the 2024 nomination from the Republican Party. Unfortunately he is still consumed by other battles he feels he should be fighting. As supporters we failed to fight those battles on his behalf immediately after the 2020 election in the State legislatures and the result is the problems with 2022 and the problems with his current campaign. We mistakenly looked to Judges, journalists and law enforcement officials to fight those battles elsewhere. We failed to follow the Constitution.
Our historic founding fathers did not make our War for Independence, they were just those remembered and honored. The effort for independence was started by the individual colonies stylinging themselves as free states and sending representatives to their successive Continental Congresses. Various “resolves” and “acts” were done by local states long before the Lee Resolution as offered by Virginia was approved on July 2, 1776 and the historic Declaration was transcribed repeating earlier stated ideas by Mason, Adams and others.
We are not relying on the power of the States to rectify our problems, we are like the South Americans of the 1800s, always looking for “a man on a horse” to save us rather than do the hard peaceful work necessary to get started ourselves. Even when we do such efforts we make the perfect the enemy of the possible and back bite amounts ourselves.
