To be a good leader you need to be a lot of things, but a coward isn't one of them. Donald Trump is a coward. Right now, he isn't frightened, he isn't scared, he's terrified. Shaken to his core, and it shows. He's not used to dealing with people like McCabe and Comey and Rosenstein and especially like Robert Mueller. All the short cuts and immorality and double dealing that served him so well as a shady real estate man and second rate product shill are dancing in his head every moment of every day. Every day the cackling demons running around in that mush he calls brains get a little louder.
The dangerous part is that he has nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in his life experience to call on. Most people have been through tough times. They learn things like courage and perseverance and fortitude that they use to guide them when things get tough. Trump doesn't have any of that. The spoiled rich kid who has never been punched in the nose, never done a real day's work in his life, been a bully and blowhard as long as he's infested the Earth. He doesn't know what to do and the phony tough guy routine that mesmerizes his "base" is exposed as worthless in the face of pressure from people with real morals and principles. He's getting more desperate by the day and the problem is that desperate people do desperate things.
With his calloused twitter finger, his tiny hands and his fat ass this terrified pathetic excuse for a human is lashing out. Who knows what he'll break and what damage he'll cause with his tantrums. I know due process needs to take its course and evidence needs to be airtight, but we can't get rid of this guy fast enough.

(7,430 posts)You're completely correct in describing Trumpy's character as shaped by his life experiences. He's a doomed president who is dooming the cowardly and complicit GOP. They'll all be getting their just desserts.
And now we have news from the Guardian that Paul Ryan did some criminal insider trading a few years back. Ryan isn't new to the sleazy side of politics, as we're now learning. Oh, Paul's got his happy and secretive GOP "family" all right. They've all got dirt on one another, and their bond is to keep it all secret.

(1,896 posts)I know using strong language has its pitfalls but it just seems appropriate. I just can't stand that fake tough guy persona. I'd say that Obama is twice the person that Trump is but that's not really accurate because twice nothing is still nothing. And come on, he's got to have a callous on his twitter fingers by now doesn't he?

(2,419 posts)in its expression but also honest. Sometimes you need to call them like you see them. I agree. Trump is a coward and a person of little substance. If he stuck to doing a reality show it would be ok. It's not ok to have a person like that as president.
