What the hell was Trump trying to do the other day? It couldn’t have been an effort to inspire. On his way to wrapping up the nomination, he calls us a third world country, paints a picture of failure and despair and darkness? What sort of strategy is this, besides a Miller-inspired rant?

People need to understand that the picture Trump paints is not the reality. It’s not what we aspire to. Good leaders don’t dwell on the negatives. They can surely acknowledge that we have work to do, but they don’t dwell in the dark basement and proclaim they are the only ones who can lift us into the light.

Trump does this all the time, and he never comes through. Because he can’t. He’s entirely incapable of exerting that much energy on behalf of anyone but himself.
