Isn't it pathetic and sad

Nah. What's pathetic and sad is when people have such hero worship they refuse to see any problems with leadership and can't look at it with a critical eye. But I do love your solution that everyone else should be coming up with the solutions, because it's their job. Oh no, it's the presidents job, and he's fucked it so entirely, that people have every right to complain about just how he's fucking their lives.
