(Like the messenger or not this is the truth, and assertedly NYT has known this for a LONG time, according to Mara Gay, member of Time s' editorial board.)

*Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him. . .

We urge voters to see the dangers of a second Trump term clearly and to reject it. The stakes and significance of the presidency demand a person who has essential qualities and values to earn our trust, and on each one, Donald Trump fails.

He is, quite simply, unfit to lead.'>

4. TSF doesn't have to lead, just follow Putin's orders.

5. Following orders is the only thing

T can do! There is no way for him to lead on anything -- not even on something that's important to him. Leaders are a special breed of individual; not everyone can lead. T absolutely cannot lead. The only reason he has a following is because his "lieutenants" support him and do the actual leading, IMO.

The important thing to remember is that T can't even follow orders, in truth. *However* if you "butter him up" he'll do anything for you. So, you couch your orders in a form that compliments him, butters him up, and makes him feel important. Everything with T has to be transactional, and he always has to come out as the top dog in any transaction. If one keeps just a few things in mind while attempting to manipulate T, he's the easiest person in the world to manipulate. World leaders like Putin, Orban, etc., know this and are all too familiar with the way to make it happen.
