One of Trumps biggest, dangerous flaws is he's not proactive at all. He responds after the fact.

[shockey80]

He has to be one of the most clueless human beings I have ever seen. He lived in a bubble his whole life. I have said, Trump is only a president by name. For 3 years we have been without a president. Now we have to deal with a major crisis without a president. You have to lead, be extremely proactive to do the job of president.

Trump is not proactive. He responds to things after they happen. He learns about things, things are explained to him, after they happen. He does not self educate until after something happens.

When he does respond to something, he thinks in business terms and how it will make him look, in a very obsessive way. During his entire life Trump responded to problems after the fact by attacking with lawyers and lawsuits. That won't work with a virus.

The best way to battle a virus is by being proactive. Our fake president does not do that. If this spins out of control, drags on too long, kills tens of thousands and destroys our economy, it will be because Trump was not proactive and because Trump voters are self destructive fools.

1. He's a reactive reactionary.

[PubliusEnigma]

2. He needs to see the ratings, first.

[Laelth]

3. If he is, in fact, a Narcissist (and I think he is), he's colossally LAZY.

This is a typical feature of all the Cluster B disorders. They're lazy, mean, and impulsive.

They can see the future very poorly, and when they think they can see the future, they're even more dangerous. They act impulsively. It's actually a benefit (to all of us) for them to be reactive instead of proactive. When they try to be proactive, they can make a terrible mess because of the fact that their ability to predict the future is so poor.

6. I agree.

Governors and others are leading.

Trumpsky is flailing.

17. +1000

4. "I don't take responsibility at all".

He will not make a decision where he might be blamed later. Dangerously indecisive.

16. +1000

When you can't find a meme, make one!

[Ohiogal]

5. I agree with you 100%

But isn’t this the belief of all “small government” fanatics?

[Wounded Bear]

7. I've pointed this out several times...

he thinks he can make up for his screwups by suing later.

We're screwed.

[C_U_L8R]

8. He plays "Go Fish"

[Brainfodder]

9. He just grifts, he's not really a leader?

He just grifts, adjusting to whatever situation is in front of him?

This current bill they are trying to pass, not a red flag among red flags?

[RockRaven]

10. Not only that, but his first reaction/response is always to deny/delay.

It is worse than the fact that he not proactive. He actively resists acknowledging reality and responding to it appropriately for as long as he can -- the absolute worst thing one can do with an infectious pandemic.

[Under The Radar]

11. He takes credit for anything good and blames someone else for anything bad

Taking credit for a stock market that grew despite his trade policy cancelations and sanctions, blaming China and Obama for a virus because it spread to this country and because the gov agency organized to respond to such crisis had been disband by his administration. He did no work in any situation.

[ffr]

12. That's what the doctors and scientists are saying too.

Along with 66 million other Americans who voted correctly for Hillary Clinton.

[global1]

13. He's A Crisis Manager.....

The problem is - is that he creates the crisis.

[treestar]

14. Good sum up of him

I hadn't noticed that as a particular issue, but you indeed observed him well.

[Nitram]

15. He not only acts after the facts have been rubbed in his face, but precedes action

with lies and invective to distract from what's really going on.

[Scarsdale]

18. Many of the disasterous

decisions were made by people around him. He jumped on board, thinking they were correct. He is not intelligent at all. He REALLY does think Jared is "smart". I read that right now, Jared is telling him the virus is not as bad as people are telling him it is. He is biding his time, let it "blow over" Plus Jared's brother is part owner of a company that could make millions if their equipment (in development) is used instead of proven products. tRump is finding out that being a clown of a TV "star" is a far cry from being leader of an entire country. He was a big fish in a very small pond. Now he is a minnow in the ocean. Trouble is, he is costing people their lives now. He wanted to be a leader, while not putting any actual work into it. FAILURE at the highest level. I wonder what Ivanka or Don Jr. will do differently when they make it into the WH?
