Here’s the true meaning of leading from behind – Rocky Mount Telegram

The United States has a president, Donald J. Trump, who refuses to accept responsibility for the horrendous job he has done as leader in combating this virus.

People are literally dying and he blames it on the Obama Administration. In Trumps pettiness, he is upset that hes being criticized and not praised for his efforts. This is the same man who said that this pandemic was a hoax. Now he has the audacity to claim that he knew of the pandemic months ago. Yet his lockstep congressmen and senators never accused Trump for leading from behind. With the previous presidents, they knew that the buck stopped at the Oval Office. People are dying and Trump wants praise instead of criticism on the incompetent job he has done.

He literally wants governors to kiss his ring before federal aid is rendered. Had it not been for states taking the lead in trying to prevent the spread of this disease, I wonder where we would be now.

Troublesome is Trumps petty world of belittling and lies, saying that the job of president is easy and only he can fix what is broken. Sorry to say, Stable Genius, you have been found wanting. A thick skin you have not.

Attacking the press when you are not doing your job is the act of a desperate man. It is not their job to lie to the American people as Trump has done daily. A presidents job is to inspire the people during a crisis. But not this foul-mouthed, egotistical imbecile.

A lot of you made a deal with the devil in voting for Donald J. Trump. At 73 years old, he has never really been taught the Golden Rule. And reading up on his past, he has not really suffered for his acts of indecency. But be careful what you wish for. Trump wanted the presidency so bad that he would get it by any means necessary, even if it meant conspiring with a foreign power to get it.

Well in this time of crisis, people are really scared and unfortunately, the person often looked for in comfort and inspiration is out to lunch and the signs state nothing of what time he will return. Stay safe, citizens, God is still in charge.

And thank Him for the state leaders who did not listen to the words of a president who has cried wolf one time too many.
