The most glaring failure of Donald Trump...

[kentuck]

It is his failure to bring people together.

It is his natural inclination to divide, rather than to unite. It is always "us" vs "them", as if half of America is the enemy?

That is why he is failing on the immigration issue. He doesn't want to work with the Democrats. He wants them to submit to his wishes or he will go around them. That is his recipe for disaster.

Donald Trump has many weaknesses and failures of character, but his inability to bring people together is his most glaring failure as a leader.

He is doomed to defeat and infamy.

1. You can not normalize the abnormal.

[TrishaJ]

2. He gets his personal power from being

divisive. This trait alone should have kept him out of the Oval office.

3. Spreading chaos works in the business world, somewhat

But in government, people need to see things working. They need a sense of order.

If Trump does nothing else to benefit America, he should at least help abolish the ridiculous notion that the country should be run like a business.

4. Calling that his "most glaring" failure is absurd....

First of all, it is impossible to rank his failures.

But if I had to, his "most" glaring failure would be that of a semi-literate human being.

5. Hope his defeat and infamy is soon. nt

7. To his mindless minions tRump is like a rock star

only instead of destroying his guitar at the end of his performance he will destroy a country.

8. Trump's failure to bring people together assumes he had a plan to bring people together. He

didn’t. Trump’s only plan was self aggrandizement and personal profit. He could care less about the country as a whole or his base. Trump has no grand vision other than how can he personally profit and stay in power. Trump never was or will be a patriotic person. Ask yourself this, if Trump could sell the United States to say China for 1 trillion dollars and pocket the profit and China now owns the country and the military and Trump is offered the position of Chairman of the Board would he do it? I know it sounds crazy, but if such a far fetched idea were possible he would do it in a second.

9. In other words, he is successful in his agenda

which is to enrich himself and the GOP and resurrect American Jesus so all may worship the almighty dollar.

There ya go! He's the most successful president of all times to around 30% of angry, intolerant, white supremacist Americans and is successfully leading a Christian right wing coup with the help of the GOP.

13. This

So true

[Pepsidog]

17. Spot on.

[spanone]

10. he was 'elected' to divide people.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. He Got Elected BY Dividing People

Of course, for the $$$ folks, that's an acceptable outcome.

[Aristus]

11. He already has the infamy.

I keep praying for the defeat...

[smirkymonkey]

14. This is his only talent. Stirring up chaos and hatred.

There could not be a better Russian asset. He is destroying this nation from within. They don't need to do a thing as long as he is in charge. He will be the end of us.

15. The Number One Item on Trump's Job Description from Putin

Is to sow hatred, chaos and division in America, It's not through any failure to grasp the realities of the immigration situation that his immigration policy is turning out the way that it is. It is through his conscious will and direction. Putin is in the business of setting up racist, bigoted, fascist regimes throughout the world, and Trump is his helper and ally. Trump is NOT working for the US - he's working for Putin and Russia. He's NOT trying to do things right on immigration but failing due to some delusion or misunderstanding.

18. yes

16. Still waiting for the defeat

19. Stole this from a guy on reddit

"Yeah, anybody who's still acting like cartoonishly evil/racist/misogynist/fascist candidates are self-sabotaging their campaigns by their overt bigotry is not paying attention. Those are the selling points to their target demographic, and if the answers to complex problems like climate change and social inequality are a binary choice between "fascism has all the answers" and "business as usual"...a significant enough percentage of the population is going to reach for the former.

Maybe in 1999 running as an overt white supremacist would have been campaign poison. In 2019, it's terrifyingly plausible to do that and win."

20. He doesn't consider that a failure. It's by design.

He's not trying to bring people together. Quite the opposite.
