A common root cause of ineffective and incompetent leaders is the lack of emotional intelligence. What’s ironic is that Mr. Thompson, who is a Trump cheerleader (as evidenced in his Closing the Deal column of 11/2/20), doesn’t see that he perfectly described Donald Trump. Being generous, the president lacks four of the five high-level categories of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.An easy argument can be made for all five if you accept that Trump’s motivation is solely for when it’s something for his benefit. Mr. Thompson says that people with low emotional intelligence often slip into a role they are not qualified for, but their flaws and incompetence are eventually exposed and they don’t last. That was obvious to most of us when Trump was elected president and even before. Unfortunately, since Republican senators were cowards and refused to do the right thing, we were stuck with Trump for four long years

  Donald Trump made fun of a special needs reporter. He made fun of a protester for her weight. White supremacists like him. He lied about COVID to not worry us weak Americans.

 

 

Russians are friends and Democrats are enemies. He calls himself the best president. His words always blame someone. Hitler did that too. What an absolute joke. Most good CEOs purposely hire different views, to keep things well rounded. He fires his own people for other ideas. Imagine a sports team acting in such a way. Too many changes are a sure sign of weakness.

And his followers? Remember that bully jerk in school who made fun of everyone, but had the cool car and great parents’ house. Some refused to be his friend. Yet others liked the cool stuff, so they laughed when chubby girl was made fun of. This is your president. A clear look into human darkness. A clear look at what is not decent.

They say our true character is revealed by our actions when no one is looking. Very scary to behave in such a manner when everyone is looking. A president who attacks SNL for the jokes they make about all presidents. Is he limiting free speech? Oh yeah, a president who doesn’t have a pet? Oops, he does. Millions of followers. Hurry up and get your treat, purple Kool-Aid.

. The beginning of the end of Trump’s presidency arrived on March 11, 2020, when he addressed the nation for the first time on the subject of the pandemic and showed himself to be completely out of his depth. The virus was a fact that Trump couldn’t lie into oblivion or forge into a political weapon—it was too personal and frightening, too real. As hundreds of thousands of Americans died, many of them needlessly, and the administration flailed between fantasy, partisan incitement, and criminal negligence, a crucial number of Americans realized that Trump’s lies could get someone they love killed.

 

 

The second event came on November 3. For months Trump had tried frantically to destroy Americans’ trust in the election—the essence of the democratic system, the one lever of power that belongs undeniably to the people. His effort consisted of nonstop lies about the fraudulence of mail-in ballots. But the ballots flooded into election offices, and people lined up before dawn on the first day of early voting, and some of them waited 10 hours to vote, and by the end of Election Day, despite the soaring threat of the virus, more than 150 million Americans had cast ballots—the highest turnout rate since at least 1900. The defeated president tried again to soil our faith, by taking away our votes. The election didn’t end his lies—nothing will—or the deeper conflicts that the lies revealed. But we learned that we still want democracy. This, too, is the legacy of Donald Trump.
