Trump: The Second Year

To leave the council is leadership. Think of why we left and the statement it makes. Dissent is patriotic, no?

Retreating from the world stage is never leadership.

Leading by refusing to lead. 4d chess at it’s finest

lol, being a sheep that stays with the herd regardless of where the herd is headed…leadership huh?

A leader would probably lead the rest of the sheep. It’s in the word

Guess even Trump has to walk it back when the backlash is that big. Silver lining!

Rumor has it Ivanka and Melania were both pressuring him behind the scenes.

I’d fuckin hope so.

Guys, guys, your lack of experience with autocratic regimes really shows itself here :wink:

It’s one of the two standard dictatorial tropes - a compassionate wife/daughter that is supposedly able to exert a moderating influence on the occasionally overzealous Great Leader basically playing the “good cop” and the becoming a recipient of pleas/petitions/bribes.

The second trope is the rouge minion - sometimes it’s suddenly discovered that an especially unpopular policy was actually conceived by a rogue minion working not only against the Great Leader but against the Nation itself. The Great Leader swiftly takes action, sidelines/punishes the minion and the faithful rejoice in his wisdom and benevolence.

It’s not Chairman Mao’s fault, it’s the remnants of the old pre-revolutionary establishment (deep state cough cough) that actually set/forced upon him that policy.

Nothing new under the sun, it’s just strange seeing it played out in the supposed beacon of the free world…

I’ve wondered if Trump will use this disastrous episode as an excuse to finally fire Sessions. After all, it was Sessions’ fault…

Leadership would have been to challenge Saudi Arabia’s inclusion.

We should expect it to do nothing, as usual, like Rwanda, or make things worse as with Sierra Leone.

So precious that some of the photos of children in cages were actually from the Obama era…

We should figure out a better, more humane way, to handle these situations, regardless of which party is in power.

Oh how the times have changed…

Not really. The GOP didn’t care about family back in Elian Gonzales’ day, and they don’t care now either.
