Why won't Trump just lead?
He should be able to present leadership that will get everyone working together for common goals. Why won't he do that?

Watch Florence. This could either be a nightmare for him, or a wet dream politically.
I'd rather the thing go into reverse or fade away, but this is a big development for him and a chance to unite Americans in the wake of a common attack by a non human foe.
He just needs to not be tweeting about liberals and climate change not being real, or how unfair the press coverage is of him compared to other Presidents, and he'd be halfway there.
Asking him not to Pat himself on the back is probably too much, but if he does it, he should really remember, even Fox had footage that showed negative stuff about the response.

Yes, it's certainly a win-win for him. Even if he starts gleefully talking about all the death and destruction and how it is going to make him look so bigly good.
I get it. For conservatives he can do no wrong. I'm just wondering why he doesn't seem to be able to lead. All he can do is provoke. It seems that government by spiting your political enemies is not the best way to look after the welfare of the population.
A leader should be able to get those with whom they disagree to work for a common, shared goal.

@daisymay Honestly, the guy has never actually had a real leadership role in anything before, aside from a privately run company, which has a dubious history.
I hate the guy more than most, tbh, but in these dark hours, he's got a chance to actually be a light for more than just those who voted for him.
I'd feel better about him, honestly, if I thought he, or his people were looking for a chance to shine, instead of just worrying about covering up screw-ups and misdeeds, and figuring out how to lay the blame on someone else.
