In reply to the discussion: Trump gives himself an A-plus on presidency: 'Can I go higher than that?' [View all]hostalover
(447 posts)43. I was slightly horrified last night on Brian Williams' show. He had some expert
on (don't remember his name) to talk about how presidents can grow in the job and become more empathetic, feel the sorrow of the country, etc. Trump, of course, is incapable of this, but the guest used George W and his response to 9-11 to show how one becomes the president. He actually said, "This is the moment when Bush became our president." In particular he meant the moment when Bush was standing on the rubble with a bullhorn. Blah, blah. I've probably explained this poorly, but I hope you get the idea. Turned me off big time!
