Trump Shutdown Unmasks A Weak President that has Surrendered the Reins of Control..

#PresidentKelly

Trump has surrendered the reins of his presidency — perhaps to anyone willing to do the work. This is the President who was reportedly most upset to miss the party celebrating the anniversary of his inauguration for a job he doesn’t seem too keen on actually doing.

But this should surprise no one. Trump has never been about work. He is all slick image and sleight of hand shell games. The glamorous parties are what he’s all about. The oil paintings of himself. The gold gilt mirrors reflecting his carefully manufactured image, replete with extra long ties to disguise his weight and a dark, outdated spray tan that read “wealthy playboy” in the 80s.

It’s ironic but also wholly predictable that the man many Republicans saw as “Big Daddy” “Alpha Male” and a “Strong Man” is actually the Wizard of Oz, the little man behind the curtain. But the Wizard didn’t mind working for his success. And that is where we lose Donald Trump. Working isn’t his thing. Donald Trump isn’t an alpha male or big daddy. He suffers from a confused and mercurial temperament, which has been thrust into the worst job imaginable for itself. A job requiring leadership. Or just the semblance of leadership.

But Trump can’t manage to even sell the image of leadership the job of being president requires.Selling hats is his thing. And that’s why during the government shutdown, the White House released images of Trump wearing his MAGA hats.

Line his pockets and celebrate his greatness: That’s what Donald Trump is here for.
