The leader
Ha! No.
And then this idea that he said “I’m your leader” and he said it more than once and I can understand why certain people would think that sounds a little dictatorial but the president is the leader and I think the president’s sort of mapping
Wait wait wait I have to stop you right there.
No he is not. He is not. He’s the chief government administrator; he presides over the government. That’s it. He is not our leader. We don’t have one and we don’t need one. Remember Il Duce? Remember Der Führer? Those were avowed Leaders, and they led everyone right over a cliff. We don’t have or want a governmental Leader. Get out of hear with that crap.
Remember “thought leaders”? Remember that ridiculous gang of celebrity secularists that Edwina Rogers tried to set up, with lots of cringe-worthy gabble about “thought leaders”? Boy did that fade fast. The label is a thing though – I keep hearing it in tv ads. That must be where it originated: advertising.
You just named Trump’s favorite role models!
I hear that a lot – our leader – from the locals. And “servant leader” is a favorite phrase of theirs. Yuck.
The thing is, Trump has this idea that he is the boss of everything. The president is not a boss, he’s an employee. He works for us – or he’s supposed to. Too many presidents forget that. So do too many Congressional sorts. THEY ARE EMPLOYEES. THEY WORK FOR US. Try to remember that, okay? We’re the ones who get to say “You’re fired”. And here’s hoping we say just that in November.
Well said Ikn, let’s hope so.
Always wanted to tell that asshole “Boss this”. (insert appropriate vulgar gesture) ;)
No shit, Sherlock! He says everything more than once. He goes on a loop just to make sure nobody else can speak while he’s waiting for his addled brain to dredge up some other words to say; he also does it because he speaks without being aware of what just came out of his mouth and what is about to come out of his mouth. He doesn’t want to have to think about what he’s saying because thinking is hard and thinking means he might have to stop speaking to allow the thoughts to form into coherence. And because he pays no attention to what he’s saying he has no awareness of repeating himself; like a baby is comforted by hearing a parent’s voice sing a soothing tune despite the words meaning nothing to the infant, Trump also has no need to understand the words that fall from his lips, all he wants to hear is the droning of his own voice.
Erm….nope, I don’t have the faintest idea what that is supposed to mean. Is it a typo? Was ‘napping’ the intended word?
