This General Is Far Better Than His C-in-C
#22
RE: This General Is Far Better Than His C-in-C
I can just imagine Trump's take-away from General Silveria's speech: 'Fifty five hundred? Pfft - I draw bigger crowds that that!'

But his take-away should be: this is what leadership looks like. A leader confronts a problem immediately and head-on - s/he doesn't send out a tweet or issue a statement or have a surrogate lie to the press about it. A leader addresses in no uncertain terms what the problem is, what is to be done about it, and what the consequences will be. A leader takes responsibility.

The topic of the general's remarks was racism. The way the topic was addressed should be seen as a lesson in leadership.
