You've probably seen the poll that said 80% say that things are "out of control".
Where is the President?
Outside of threatening to use the military on protesters and holding someone's Bible upside down in front of a church with a stern look on his face, what is he doing to heal this country?
Where is his leadership, for all Americans?
Anyone?
The interesting thing about Trump is he lacks both intelligence and ingenuity. He uses the same tactic over and over again to change the subject. In this case he used his appointed secretary of defense, Mark Esper, to invent a issue for him.
Just two days after Esper and Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said they were open to renaming Army installations that were named after Confederate generals, Trump imagined himself a hero by coming to the rescue.
"It has been suggested that we should rename as many as 10 of our Legendary Military Bases," Trump tweeted. "These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom. The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars."
"Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations," Trump continued. "Our history as the Greatest Nation in the World will not be tampered with. Respect our Military!"
Wow, does that sound Presidential or what? He is saving the tradition of the Confederacy for posterity. There is little doubt. Trump is proud of himself.
Better yet, in the mind of Trump, it detracts from his failure to handle the pandemic. Currently there are over two million cases and over 115,000 Americans have died and counting. Because Trump urged the reopening of the economy too early, Covid-19 is surging.
Trump's hero mentality also distracts from his contrived and laughable photo op in front of a church, is incommunicado (for ten days he has not allowed questions from reporters, depriving Americans the ability to communicate with their President), calling for 10,000 army troops to occupy the streets of Washington, accusing a 75-year old white male protester of being a member of antifa and staging a severe blow to the head, and the fact that his former secretary of defense, Marine Four-star General James Mattis (who resigned after receiving Trump's retreat order), and his former chief of staff, army General John Kelly, declared Trump incompetent and a major threat to our country.
He doesn't want Americans talking about such things. He wants Americans to think he is some kind of a hero because of a totally meaningless issue, the names of our military bases.
Which is not even an issue. Trump invented a myth. That is what he does.
