Donald,

You are NOT my leader. You are the elected head of the Federal Government, which *is* the nation's largest employer so you DO lead a lot of people, but I am not one of your employees nor is the vast majority of the American people.

We are a free country and our president's only become leaders of our nation when they inspire our nation. That's how it's done. And even then, you are only leading those who follow you. But there are no actual rules that make you the leader of the American people simply by winning an election.

We certainly don't have to do what you tell us to do. Your executive orders only apply to your employees. The rules that apply to us (AND TO YOU) come from Congress. The rules that apply to Congress comes from the U.S.Constitution. If there is any dispute about the rules, the courts will figure it out, not you.

All this being said...

We didn't need you to force your security agents to risk their lives and the lives of their families by exposing them to the virus that we all know you carry just so you can strut around in front of cameras to show how "strong" our "leader" is.

I'm not fooled by all your posing into thinking you're "strong". I've had four years of watching you behave to know that if anything, you are a weak person.

And again... You are certainly not my leader. So get back to bed... Do what the doctor tells you to do... And get better so you can get to work. Remember, I am a citizen, therefore I am YOUR boss, YOU work for ME.

...At least, until we fire you.

That's right Mrs. Douche Canoe.

Here is 'your' leader.

"Triumph with Trump"
I sort of agree with you in principal. I thought the same thing about obama 11 years ago. He was supposed to work for me, but he immediately started out to fundamentally change the country I love towards some sort of racist society and socialist utopia. Not America. Now, I also don't like President rump personally, but he is at least trying to set things back to a Constitutional Republic of free Capitalists and I'm all for that.

"Triumph with Trump"
Logically Right

Y'all should stop referring to yourselves as the "leader of the free world"

I'm glad you can see my point and yes, it would apply to Obama also. I just didn't see him or his supporters gravitating to the idea that he was some kind of supreme leader to pledge allegiance to.

As for Obama fundamentally changing the country...

I believe his contribution toward the racist society we see today was simply being born half black. I was living in South Carolina when Obama was elected the first time and I remember the reaction among the people there and thought - where did all this racism come from? I think most Americans know it wasn't Obama's words or actions that created the racial rift, it was the people who have been racist all along and got all worked up when a black man stepped into the Oval Office.

As for the socialist utopia. That's typical right-wing drama. Regarding economic policy, Obama was far closer to Reagan that even Sanders. Obamacare, for instance is a market driven system, not a socialist one, with the exception being the public option.

I will concede that in general, Democrats are more socialist-friendly. And certainly the call for socialism is on the rise as is always the case when Americans start losing out to the pyramid scheme that capitalism becomes if not sufficiently managed.

But I am finding that most Trump supporters have no clue what socialism is, other than something their thought leaders tell them to avoid at all costs. I know the common cud is that somehow socialism is linked to Stalinism, but it's really not.

What I want (and I think I speak for a LOT of Democrats) is a hybrid system like what we see in Germany, where the market is open for all goods and services but the government should be allowed to provide socialist options (such as the public option) for human critical services that offer little to no profit.

...and when I say "socialism", I am not referring to communism or any of its implementations ie,.. Stalinism, Leninism, Maoism or even the Israeli Kibbutz system. Nor am I referring to right-wing socialism, otherwise called nationalist socialism (Nazism).

I am referring to Democratic Socialism.

I agree!

straightUp Loc: California

Yup, and he still is. He still continues to inspire millions of Americans. I didn't always agree with his foreign policy, but I know the deep state always sets the foreign policy agenda.

I do actually like the idea of a president that stands up to the deep state but not if that president winds up making a mockery of our global influence like Trump has.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Well I’m glad you got that off your chest and hope you feel better now...

Lest you also recognize while he is not your President, he is President to many others who voted him in and are pleased with his performance..You know the saying can’t please everybody all the time...

In the long run it all works out.. When the one you want goes in you’ll feel even better..Until then, good luck...

Seth

But... We are.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Why??

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Election meddling...
Numerous wars and armed conflicts...
A larger police state as time goes by...

America needs to heal itself and unite before it can lead others...

You don't like America very much, do you?

If America is not the leader of the FREE world, what country is? Canada? Australia? Britain? Sure as hell isn't China, is it.

Who is it that is building a rather impressive peace agreement in the Middle East? Ain't China.

Do you have a freaking clue why this has happened here? Who has done this to us? What ideological movement is behind all this?

Bush handed Obama 2 wars; Obama handed Trump 7.

Our troops are coming home, dude.

Do the Chinese spooks meddle in anyone's business? Is China a police state? Does China need any healing?

Seth

Are.
