tRump Lacks Conviction [View all]
No, not the kind of conviction Mueller is bringing. I mean conviction in the sense of deeply held belief. tRump does not truly believe in anything but himself. Imagine Obama working through the night, night after night, to get ACA ready. Obama had conviction. He truly believed that the government should make sure its citizens' health was protected. Now try to imagine the same from Donnie. Kind of difficult (if not impossible) to picture Donnie doing anything during the night except eating ice cream and tweeting nonsense.
Conviction leads to purpose, which in turn leads to hard work. If a politician is convinced he or she must help the people in some way, then that politician works tirelessly until that goal is accomplished. What exactly would the conviction behind ACA repeal be? Maybe that tRump knows better than Obama? It certainly has nothing to do with helping average Americans.
Yes, tRump is convinced he is better than everyone else. That is pretty damned obvious. He campaigned last year on the strength of that conviction alone. Many, many gullible people were swayed by the power of his conviction. If you yell loudly enough that you are the best, then people will start to believe as you do without proof. After a while, though, the absence of proof becomes unbearable, and the conviction that the person is the best becomes untenable.
Promises were made. Promises were based on tRump's conviction in his own superior competence. That competence has been tested and has been found to be sorely lacking.
