A lawyer trained, old school, let's make a deal politician. He is not a leader. And he will not be in office long enough to be a leader and hence take a leadership role in America or in the world.

In my opinion he is incapable of rising above the fray. And not only is he reluctant to admit he is wrong, he will not. He will spin a given subject and try to place it in a humorous mode. But when all gets SAID and done, nothing changes.

Perfect example: his refusal to accept the notion the economy will improve through the efforts and investment in the private sector.

When looking for leadership, it becomes an extremely rare capability in politics in general and in the WH in specific.

The only way to get a leader into the WH is not elect a politician. Hence the odds are significantly diminished to accomplish the need.
