This Is The Leadership We Want?

Is she Indian or is she Black? I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t. Because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person. I think somebody should look into that.

-- Donald Trump 


What?!? "She became a Black person"?  How exactly does one do that?  

Besides, even if she could (still not sure how), why would THAT be a problem?  Your white ignorance (not to mention arrogance) is showing again….

What does it really mean that a whole political party is still behind this guy?  That's what is a bit scary to me.

The palpable, collective self-interest, as opposed to public service, is astounding.

Can you even imagine what would happen to a black man who speaks the way Trump speaks (not to mention the actions he has already been convicted of)?  He would be nowhere near a top ticket candidate for any political party (in part, because a black man would have already been put in jail).

Developmentally, Trump is like a petulant human child, in terms of maturity. And, we want him to help lead a world in need of profound levels of wisdom and empathy?

The only possible explanation I can see is that this, ultimately, is way more about pure unadulterated power than it is about anything like greatness or returning (to something good).  There is little that is great or good about what this ideology represents or how they are (and intend to) going about it.

Attacking people’s identity is not leadership (not to mention loving).
