when i say (political) diplomacy i mean having the skill to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they're looking forward to the trip I disagree that Trump is fundamentally similar to his predecessors as President, that he is more like them than different. On the one hand i agree with Miami, in that trump isn't that different, just more transparent with his flaws. That itself is a problem for a leader, but...there is a larger fundamental difference with past presidents The fundamental difference is that most past pres at least feigned attempts to bring the country together Trumps divisiveness is what makes him so dangerous and wrong I would add much of the media's divisiveness is equally as wrong and bad for the country See I am with you in the overall assessment of his presidency.

Trump's superpower is his ability to sound convincing in that moment with no regard for facts or history. His lack of polish is what makes him so appealing to so many...he isn't "one of them". Take a middle-aged, unemployed, high-school educated white guy who assumed he could always work at the factory or the farm but now struggles to get by...and give him an option to pick a famous guy who seems confident in his answers who also blames everything on others, especially those who have been running the country since they've been voting... If he had Obama's skills he'd be a very successful real estate developer who you never heard of. Communication skills like Obama's require an intelligence and self-control DJT couldn't find in 20 lifetimes. He is THE poster child for white privilege...which is why he hates the idea of systemic racism so much. It explains his success more than anything else in his life...and he knows it.

Olivia Troye, who worked as homeland security and counterterrorism aide to Pence for two years and served as his adviser on the Coronavirus Task Force, which he's helmed, said Trump showed indifference at the beginning of the pandemic and the administrationâs response cost lives.
"The virus was very unpredictable at the beginning, there were a lot of unknowns but towards the middle of February, we knew it wasn't a matter of if COVID would become a big pandemic here in the United States, it was a matter of when," Troye, who left the White House in late July, said in an ad released by Republican Voters Against Trump.
"But the president didn't want to hear that, because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year, and how was this going to affect what he considered to be his record of success?"
