".It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership."
Conservatives who support Trump couldn't care less about moral leadership. They care about winning at all costs. They equate being wealthy to being moral.

5. Trump could have used this time to prove that he's a leader.

But nope, he resorted to his usual petty, divisive, vindictive, hateful self and we're seeing Trump for who he really is. We desperately need a leader and our current leadership has failed us big time.

Lock him up.

Only wanted to try to run it the way he only ever knew how to run his businesses (to the ground).

All the while bragging about him being the best pResident in History (how he sees himself).

But once he "realized" his crimes were being investigated and his fraudulent life would be exposed, he was looking for henchmen like Barr to be his own Roy Cohn (to defend him and protect him so he would not end in jail yet), and he learned how to use Twitter to "intimidate" and "bully" the coward repugs in Congress so they would not do anything to harm him.

Lock him up before it's too late!

7. That's the point, though. Trump CAN'T lead...

he can boss and bully, he can issue stern orders, he can coerce and blackmail to get what he wants.

What he can't do is actually lead anything. He can't lead because he was never taught to follow.
