Donald Trump has little respect for anyone but himself. Wallowing in his pool of self importance, he sends out tweets deriding his staff, fellow Republicans, foreign leaders, civil rights advocates and, this week, professional athletes. Still campaigning in regions of the country that adore his in-your-face style, Trump attacks critics and opponents with zeal, shunning the decorum expected of American Presidents.
This leadership by bullhorn is both divisive and ineffective, as evidenced by his near total lack of achievements to date. Limited to signing executive orders, Trump remains at the mercy of the Legislative and Judicial Branches which, hopefully, will keep this bombastic narcissist from destroying America's image across the globe. Why the Republican leadership has not been more vocal in criticizing this wayward President is almost as disturbing as Trump's behavior itself.
Of course, The Donald could care less what the rest of us think. He is all about himself and speaks only to his poorly educated, provincially-minded, racist base.
