Basic leadership skills 101...
1. Addressing major problems/disasters/tragedies that effect people's lives when they occur or soon after they occur.
2. Reassuring people that those problems are at the very least "being looked into" so that the possibility of them occurring again will be less likely.
State problem and Hawaii certainly should do that. I am sure you have contacted Hawaii and let them know rather than looked at this as a Federal issue which it was not.....right? (Of course not. I know you did not).
While it is touching that you'll support Trump no matter what, I'm really glad that your leadership style remains rare.
There is a lot I do not support Trump in.
Again IS his leadership style rare?
Benghazi - Video narrative
Floods - Martha's vineyards
9/11 - Keep reading
Or is your outrage a little selective? His was NOT a real National issue but rather a state fuck up.
No, this is not deflection it is addressing your assertion of rareness. But again, these are was there a national emergency? Was there a real threat for him to address? Or did Hawaii make an error that affected it's citizens?
A deflection is a deflection by any other name. Gotta love your persistence, tho.
No, I do get it.
Trump is the only President or person in political office in American history not to have jumped on crisises or on National Emergencies to your satisfaction and to have given appropriate response to the American public.
That is what you seem to be saying.
The reason why, even with these obvious parallels of past situations of National Emergencies having been dealt in similar or arguably worse ways by others, they did not outrage you, is that they were not Trump.
Now I have, of course, pointed out that the false alarm was....well false. That it was NOT a National Emergency. That it was a state based stuff up with no damage nor National impact....unlike Bush's 9/11 crisis, Hillary's lies about Benghazi, and Obama's reaction to the Louisiana floods. I have also pointed out that the State of Hawaii was both responsible for the stuff up and as such needs to be the one responsible for addressing concerns generating from the mistake they made RATHER than the President. They also need to change procedures and/or training to make sure something as ridiculous does not happen again.
How this in ANY way becomes the President's issue or his fault is quite beyond me.
So far from deflecting, I have addressed both the issue and also given reasoning why I believe YOU see it as something other than what it really is. That issue that would dismiss the seriousness of other worse and more egregious examples of what you claim is terrible when it happens with others is simply that you hate Trump.
THAT is an ideological position. Not actually an indictment on Trump but rather virtue signalling your hatred and a want to create a different standard to hold him to. That is fine. It does not make it deflection and it does not really make any strong case to him being good, bad or indifferent.
Plenty to criticise him for but this is pretty weak and simply comes across as you needing to create reasons to be unreasonably outraged.
