11. I'm heartsick and what makes it even worse is that America does not have

someone at the helm who would know the right things to say and the right things to do to help others.

Trump has not even a touch of humanity in him and world leaders need to be able to come forth and help not only their own citizens but the people of the world during times like this.

All of this destruction, the floods, the fires, the hurricanes - and we don't have anyone decent at the helm.

People will give of themselves and don't need the government telling them to do so - that's not the point.

We still need a president that encourages the best of its citizens and knows how to give sympathy and a hug because they actually feel it and don't need others coaching them in how to fake it for a do-over.

We still need a president that knows how to reach out in kindness and concern if only to say we care, as a nation.
