Lessons in Leadership - Trump is Cured Edition

Yesterday Donald Trump walked out of Walter Reed Hospital and arrived on the White House Lawn via Marine One.

After exiting the helicopter he climbed the White House steps, faced the camera’s and removed his mask.

And that’s when all hell broke loose for the left-wing media. But don’t worry, Trump wasn’t done destroying America just yet. He then posted this video shortly after landing.

Queue an absolute death spiral from the liberal media. How dare he? He dare he minimize the virus, the deaths, the unemployment. He’s basically spitting on grandma’s grave.

This reaction exemplifies a profound and extreme misunderstanding of the principles of leadership for the American left. The line from the video above “Don’t let the Coronavirus dominate your life” specifically sent them into a tailspin.

Think if you had a loved one facing a potentially terminal disease in a hospital. What would you say to them?

• Give up now and just let the disease run it’s course, stay in bed until you succumb, you are too weak to beat this

• Fight like hell to beat this disease, I believe in you, and in the meantime enjoy your life.

Everything that this man does that exemplifies the basic principles of leadership is lost on the left. The prefer to have Joe Biden crawl in a basement and hide for 6 months, while refusing to speak with the media. Apparently that’s leadership.

But anyone who understands leadership knows that during times of crisis you re-assure your followers, give them hope, and instill confidence in a country and it’s markets.
