Leadership:  Washington vs. Trump

Donald Trump has repeatedly said he deserves to be on Mount Rushmore with the greatest of our U.S. Presidents including the father of the United States of America , George Washington .
Well does he ?
First , great leaders empower others around to be their very best .
They are humble about their success .
Poor leaders think it ’ s all about themselves and others have very little to do with their success ; a very immature unevolved myopic view of reality .
Over the last 3.5 years , we ’ ve had to endure the extreme narcissism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ constantly making it about himself and blaming others for everything that goes wrong .
Worse , he engages in the ugliest of insults and demonization .
Add in his cavalier penchant for lying and It ’ s been an exhausting exercise indeed .
Now , the Trump Cult members love this man .
Zero critic !
He can do no wrong in their jaundiced eyes .
They believe he is the embodiment of leadership .
Many even put him above Jesus Christ of Nazareth .
But he is not .
He is so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 100 million light-years for Trump to reach even the same galaxy as men like George Washington .
As for Jesus Christ , I am fairly sure Jesus would give Trump the other cheek when violated by his stay in power at all costs Machiavellian ways .
Trump , for his part , would summarily slap the other cheek because that ’ s the kind of man Trump is ; a sociopath with no conscience !
He can take a dump on anyone… no one is allowed to show up the Trump !
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In fact , Donald Trump may be a man with lots of money who has been able to game the system playing the finance game but he ’ s no leader of men .
In fact , he never has been .
He is just a man with lots of useless money .
It ’ s nothing great men aspire to… What is weird is that most people think Trump ran a huge organization when , in fact , The Trump Organization was a very small firm with very few people .
His @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deals and licensing his brand name .
There was never any serious leadership of men necessary in such a small firm .
In fact , unlike General George Washington , our first U.S. President who served his country with amazing distinction putting his life on the line over and over again for liberty , justice , and our republic , Trump , when called to serve his country in the 1960s , ran like the coward he is five separate times .
Yes Five !
Trump received phony deferments to serve in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Of course , that was another Trump ruse and should have served as a big red flag for American voters .
But somehow it was not .
It was if they had no clue what a real leader of men looked or acted like .
• Is the current population so poorly educated that they don ’ t know history , civics , or the virtues of leadership ?
• Or maybe they were so deep in the media-induced fear of their future that they reached for a perceived strong man as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whatever it was that they believed was attacking them ?
In my view , this latter scenario is more likely because , in times of fear or , as in this case , perceived fear , we know from historical human study that humans under duress throw out their moral judgment in favor of a strong man savior .
So I am fairly sure that this is what actually happened in 2016 .
And Trump has been super successful branding himself as a strongman so he fit their bill perfectly .
Fast forward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keeping the brand and fear going so that his voters don ’ t actually question his obvious weakness in that he is neither a strong man or a savior .
He gets an A-plus for marketing !
Nevertheless , in the history of the U.S.A. there have been fantastic leaders of great and high integrity ; men and women with whom we can be proud of… men and women who we can look up to and aspire to be like .
The list is quite long !
Who really wants to be like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and plays the irresponsible blame game like no other in our history ?
No reasonable person of character would even consider aiming to be this coward .
Now to further this comparison , let ’ s take a quick look at quotes from U.S. President George Washington and compare… “ Every post is honorable in which a man can serve his country ” Trump continually insults any politician from any party that does NOT agree with him or anyone in general .
He is simply a nasty and mean spirited man .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men who served the country .
He may have disagreed with their positions but it was always with great honor and respect because he had perspective .
What a difference right ?
“ But lest some unlucky event should happen unfavorable to my reputation , I beg it may be remembered by every gentleman in the room that I this day declare with the utmost sincerity , I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with.
” Washington is widely accepted on almost every list known to man as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It goes back and forth between him and President Abraham Lincoln who dealt with the worst war in our history and put the country back together .
Trump , on the other hand , has been called many names but humble is NOT one of them .
He is the exact opposite of humble .
And great ?
Only members of his cult refer to him as such and that does NOT qualify as objective .
In reality , history will NOT regard their opinions when deciding if he deserves his place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generations will review his blatant use of gaslighting racism and bigotry along with his blatant attempts at dividing the country and sink him down the list into the depths of the worst of the U.S. Presidents .
My kind educated guess is that he would definitely be in the bottom 10 probably just next to Herbert Hoover who , like Trump , was a rich elitist who , as a poor communicator , fueled trade wars and exacerbated the Great Depression .
“ 99 % of failures come from people who make excuses.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No one does .
Every leader suffers defeat .
But one thing great leaders like Washington do is take responsibility .
They do NOT make excuses or blame others .
As President Harry Truman once coined “ The Buck Stops Here ” meaning he is the man ; the guy responsible for it all .
Trump , on the other hand , plays the blame game every single time something goes wrong .
And worse , he attempts to take credit for things he did NOT do when they go right .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; a real piece of work indeed .
TELL ME WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE AND I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER “ Associate yourself with men of good quality , if you esteem your own reputation ; for ‘ tis better to be alone than in bad company.
” Washington clearly was keenly aware of who he kept company with .
He had high standards .
In fact , through legend , he is credited with saying “ I shall not tell a lie ” when caught as a young boy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tree myth is the most well-known and longest enduring legend about George Washington .
In the original story , when Washington was six years old he received a hatchet as a gift and damaged his father ’ s cherry tree .
When his father discovered what he had done , he became angry and confronted him .
Young George bravely said , “ I can not tell a lie…I did cut it with my hatchet.
” Washington ’ s father embraced him and rejoiced that his son ’ s honesty was worth more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tree myth did not really happen but he was given such high praise from the public to earn such a story because he was , in fact , an honest gentleman who rose to the highest level of character .
Trump ?
“ Lie ” is his middle name .
In fact , sensible people who think and are NOT members of the Trump Cult all know whatever his says has to be triple checked because he lies so often .
Trump is a pathological liar and simply can not be trusted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ complete difference in integrity… Washington of the highest and Trump of the lowest .
In closing , knowing what you know , would President George Washington even allow Donald Trump in the same room with him ?
Well , of course , we don ’ t know because Washington lived a few centuries ago .
But let me answer it myself in a 21st century way by saying “ Are you kidding me ?
No Freakin ’ Way !
” Leadership !

Donald Trump has repeatedly said he deserves to be on Mount Rushmore with the greatest of our U.S. Presidents including the father of the United States of America, George Washington. Well does he?
Let’s take a look.
First, great leaders empower others around to be their very best. They are humble about their success. Poor leaders think it’s all about themselves and others have very little to do with their success; a very immature unevolved myopic view of reality.
Over the last 3.5 years, we’ve had to endure the extreme narcissism and self-aggrandizement of a man who is constantly making it about himself and blaming others for everything that goes wrong. Worse, he engages in the ugliest of insults and demonization. Add in his cavalier penchant for lying and It’s been an exhausting exercise indeed.
Now, the Trump Cult members love this man. Zero critic! He can do no wrong in their jaundiced eyes. They believe he is the embodiment of leadership. Many even put him above Jesus Christ of Nazareth. But he is not. He is so far from leadership that it would take 100 million light-years for Trump to reach even the same galaxy as men like George Washington.
As for Jesus Christ, I am fairly sure Jesus would give Trump the other cheek when violated by his stay in power at all costs Machiavellian ways. Trump, for his part, would summarily slap the other cheek because that’s the kind of man Trump is; a sociopath with no conscience! He can take a dump on anyone… no one is allowed to show up the Trump! He is a very sick weak man!
In fact, Donald Trump may be a man with lots of money who has been able to game the system playing the finance game but he’s no leader of men. In fact, he never has been. He is just a man with lots of useless money. It’s nothing great men aspire to…
What is weird is that most people think Trump ran a huge organization when, in fact, The Trump Organization was a very small firm with very few people. His game was always manipulating finance, making deals and licensing his brand name. There was never any serious leadership of men necessary in such a small firm.
In fact, unlike General George Washington, our first U.S. President who served his country with amazing distinction putting his life on the line over and over again for liberty, justice, and our republic, Trump, when called to serve his country in the 1960s, ran like the coward he is five separate times. Yes Five!
Trump received phony deferments to serve in the Vietnam War claiming he had bone spurs. Of course, that was another Trump ruse and should have served as a big red flag for American voters. But somehow it was not. It was if they had no clue what a real leader of men looked or acted like.
Did they lose perspective?
Is the current population so poorly educated that they don’t know history, civics, or the virtues of leadership?
Or maybe they were so deep in the media-induced fear of their future that they reached for a perceived strong man as a desperate move to save them from whatever it was that they believed was attacking them?
In my view, this latter scenario is more likely because, in times of fear or, as in this case, perceived fear, we know from historical human study that humans under duress throw out their moral judgment in favor of a strong man savior.
So I am fairly sure that this is what actually happened in 2016. And Trump has been super successful branding himself as a strongman so he fit their bill perfectly. Fast forward and Trump does get an award for keeping the brand and fear going so that his voters don’t actually question his obvious weakness in that he is neither a strong man or a savior.

But Trump?
Who really wants to be like this man who engages in childish insults and plays the irresponsible blame game like no other in our history? No reasonable person of character would even consider aiming to be this coward.
Now to further this comparison, let’s take a quick look at quotes from U.S. President George Washington and compare…
RESPECT FOR OTHERS
“Every post is honorable in which a man can serve his country”
Trump continually insults any politician from any party that does NOT agree with him or anyone in general. He is simply a nasty and mean spirited man. A complete ZERO!
George Washington respected the men who served the country. He may have disagreed with their positions but it was always with great honor and respect because he had perspective. What a difference right?
HUMBLE
“But lest some unlucky event should happen unfavorable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered by every gentleman in the room that I this day declare with the utmost sincerity, I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with.”
Washington is widely accepted on almost every list known to man as the greatest or 2nd greatest American consistently. It goes back and forth between him and President Abraham Lincoln who dealt with the worst war in our history and put the country back together.
Trump, on the other hand, has been called many names but humble is NOT one of them. He is the exact opposite of humble. And great? Only members of his cult refer to him as such and that does NOT qualify as objective.
In reality, history will NOT regard their opinions when deciding if he deserves his place on Mount Rushmore. Instead, future generations will review his blatant use of gaslighting racism and bigotry along with his blatant attempts at dividing the country and sink him down the list into the depths of the worst of the U.S. Presidents.
My kind educated guess is that he would definitely be in the bottom 10 probably just next to Herbert Hoover who, like Trump, was a rich elitist who, as a poor communicator, fueled trade wars and exacerbated the Great Depression.
THE BLAME GAME AND EXCUSES
“99% of failures come from people who make excuses.”
Washington did NOT win every battle. No one does. Every leader suffers defeat. But one thing great leaders like Washington do is take responsibility. They do NOT make excuses or blame others. As President Harry Truman once coined “The Buck Stops Here” meaning he is the man; the guy responsible for it all.
Trump, on the other hand, plays the blame game every single time something goes wrong. And worse, he attempts to take credit for things he did NOT do when they go right. He is the worst of the worst; a real piece of work indeed.
TELL ME WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE AND I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER
“Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
Washington clearly was keenly aware of who he kept company with. He had high standards. In fact, through legend, he is credited with saying “I shall not tell a lie” when caught as a young boy under the cherry tree.
The cherry tree myth is the most well-known and longest enduring legend about George Washington. In the original story, when Washington was six years old he received a hatchet as a gift and damaged his father’s cherry tree. When his father discovered what he had done, he became angry and confronted him. Young George bravely said, “I cannot tell a lie…I did cut it with my hatchet.” Washington’s father embraced him and rejoiced that his son’s honesty was worth more than a thousand trees.
The Cherry Tree myth did not really happen but he was given such high praise from the public to earn such a story because he was, in fact, an honest gentleman who rose to the highest level of character.
Trump? “Lie” is his middle name. In fact, sensible people who think and are NOT members of the Trump Cult all know whatever his says has to be triple checked because he lies so often. Trump is a pathological liar and simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Talk about a complete difference in integrity… Washington of the highest and Trump of the lowest.
In closing, knowing what you know, would President George Washington even allow Donald Trump in the same room with him?
Well, of course, we don’t know because Washington lived a few centuries ago. But let me answer it myself in a 21st century way by saying “Are you kidding me? No Freakin’ Way!”
Leadership! Something very important to think about during these challenging times!

Washington: A Life
From National Book Award winner Ron Chernow, a landmark biography of George Washington.
In Washington: A Life celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation. With a breadth and depth matched by no other one-volume life of Washington, this crisply paced narrative carries the reader through his troubled boyhood, his precocious feats in the French and Indian War, his creation of Mount Vernon, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding over the Constitutional Convention, and his magnificent performance as America’s first president.
Despite the reverence his name inspires, Washington remains a lifeless waxwork for many Americans, worthy but dull. A laconic man of granite self-control, he often arouses more respect than affection. In this groundbreaking work, based on massive research, Chernow dashes forever the stereotype of a stolid, unemotional man. A strapping six feet, Washington was a celebrated horseman, elegant dancer, and tireless hunter, with a fiercely guarded emotional life. Chernow brings to vivid life a dashing, passionate man of fiery opinions and many moods. Probing his private life, he explores his fraught relationship with his crusty mother, his youthful infatuation with the married Sally Fairfax, and his often conflicted feelings toward his adopted children and grandchildren. He also provides a lavishly detailed portrait of his marriage to Martha and his complex behavior as a slave master.
At the same time, Washington is an astute and surprising portrait of a canny political genius who knew how to inspire people. Not only did Washington gather around himself the foremost figures of the age, including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, but he also brilliantly orchestrated their actions to shape the new federal government, define the separation of powers, and establish the office of the presidency.

The Indian World of George Washington: The First President, the First Americans, and the Birth of the Nation
George Washington’s place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivaled. His life story–from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to a colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the United States–reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.
Yet American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew clearly: that the new Republic’s fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self-governance and more on land–Indian land. Colin G. Calloway’s biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full the relationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta, Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket, and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washington’s life to bring focus to these figures and the tribes they represented–the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek, Delaware–Calloway reveals how central their role truly was in Washington’s, and therefore the nation’s, foundational narrative.
Calloway gives the First Americans their due, revealing the full extent and complexity of the relationships between the man who rose to become the nation’s most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us to look at America’s origins in a new light. The Indian World of George Washington is a brilliant portrait of both the most revered man in American history and those whose story during the tumultuous century in which the country was formed has, until now, been only partially told.

For those out there who think these were all 90 year old terminal cancer patients in hospice that died today, you aren’t paying attention. Think of it this way, yesterday and today were equal to 9/11.
In the last two days we lost as many Americans to Trump’s Hoax as we did in 19 years of war in Afghanistan. By tomorrow, we are likely to be losing the entire Global War on Terror and 9/11 every 4 days. We are on track to be much higher unless someone gets that dumbfuck out of the White House.
Today, we had 8 airliners auger into the ground with every seat full, all dead.
Today, a Boeing 747 400 crashed into a high school football game.
Tomorrow it will be the Rose Bowl.
Buying guns will not help. Guns in the hands of the frightened we have had all along, we call them “police.” How has that worked out for us?
My thanks to those who have kept their sanity. For me it was seeing if I could raise a front wheel on a Ninja14 on a 2-3 shift at 105mph. (yes)
For everyone out there doing their jobs, first of all doctors and nurses or perhaps the other way around, nothing we can do is enough. For the men and women of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, “way to go.”
We are a week away from having to take care of each other, playing the odds but, in the process, being the people we were always meant to be.
You see, the ‘death panels’ are in place, if you knew the real emergency protocols in place the lockdown orders would be a joke.
Where I am, 3rd Coast Michigan, other than the toilet paper goons, most are holding on just fine. Americans are like that, not quite the courage and heart of the Syrian people, but we can hold our own.
A test is coming.
It isn’t just ventilators and protective gear, we are years behind. Trump is to blame, he took apart what we had in his “I hate science” act for the nutsofuggity “right,” denialists and flat-earthers.
We are on our own, there is no federal government, it died several years ago.
On my own part, anyone who continues to deal with Hannity, Limbaugh (smarter than Hannity) or Trump is part of the problem. It isn’t for me to exact punishment and there is no god to pick up the slack here, if there were, every megachurch in the US would be ash with the smell of sulfur.
The people keeping us alive and those hated scientists, those foolish ignorant medical professionals who pushed for vaccines and warned over and over that it was coming. You know the ones, the people you (and you know who I am talking to here) accuse of trying to give your children “autism” because you don’t believe in genetics.
These are the thankless many now giving their lives for you.
For those who are doing what they can, do more. This one is on Donald Trump but the idea of building a capability to create CV19 comes from George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, who embarked on a secret plan to spend billions on secret biowarfare facilities around the world, hidden in places like Tbilisi.
We know the who and how, we know everything. Thousands are involved, big pharma every step of the way and that very very special company located in Columbus, Ohio as well, we have your number as well, the people we now know who put CV19 together and deployed it.
Watch Trump funnel $200 billion into pharma and biowarfare companies as payback. He has begun.
His hand is on all of it.

[ Editor ’ s Note : We had been expecting a rest and resupply of equipment on both sides when the truce first came into effect .
The jihadis have replaced their losses in the last round of fighting , but with green troops .
Turkey made up for that weakness by forming for brigades composed of a 1000 Turkish special ops soldiers and the jihadis best units as the new backbone for future fighting .

[ Editor’s Note: We had been expecting a rest and resupply of equipment on both sides when the truce first came into effect. The jihadis have replaced their losses in the last round of fighting, but with green troops.
Turkey made up for that weakness by forming for brigades composed of a 1000 Turkish special ops soldiers and the jihadis best units as the new backbone for future fighting.
Whether it will be sparring on a limited basis remains to be seen. Turkey is about to be engulfed by the virus. Turkey is keeping business production going as he has no other choice than to go bankrupt. But if the virus knocks out a lot of the workforce the economy could tank anyway.
The US is covering up coronavirus in the military, as will others. It’s what they do. But that theoretically should dampen getting involved in hair brained military actions as a way to give troops and commanders something to do.
Notice how Erdogan’s attempt to flood the EU with refugees and citizens deserting their own countries to get on the dole in Europe. There is no longer any talk about Turkey joining the EU.
The US public is also distracted and isolated. We are seeing not a whimper connected with the pitiful pandemic preparation compared to the endless billions of debt the NeoCons don’e mind incurring on more wars of looting and pillaging, spreading their odd form of freedom and democracy that it not free and not very democratic.

On April 3, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) shelled militants’ positions in Greater Idlib in response to recent violations of the ceasefire agreement.
According to opposition sources, the shelling targeted positions in the vicinity of the towns of al-Bara, Fatterah and Kansafra in Mount al-Zawiyah in the southern countryside of Idlib.
Radical militants, mainly those operating in the framework of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Wa Harid al-Muminin operations room, carried out several attacks on SAA troops in Greater Idlib over the last few days. These attacks are a violation of the ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey on March 5.
These violations are apparently pushing pro-government forces to reinforce their positions in Greater Idlib. According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), fresh reinforcements arrived in the region on April 3 morning.

The truth about artificial intelligence (AI) and the process of machine learning (algorithms which learn on their own rather than perform tasks based on human programming) is somewhat less spectacular than depicted in Hollywood movies. Yet the impact of advanced information technology on modern warfare will be significant nonetheless.
Already, machine learning is allowing automation including self-driving cars and analysis by computers that by far surpass average human abilities. It is development that is already having a significant impact on national and global economics. If we translate this process to various aspects of modern warfare, it becomes clear that whomever does so first and most effectively, will have an immense advantage over their adversaries.
This may explain why there is an AI “arms race” so to speak. The US, Russia and China are all racing to develop not only applications in AI and machine learning, but also investing in the human resources and building the infrastructure to continue to do so at accelerated rates.
China already has the second largest number of researchers involved in AI, second only to the United States. Both it and other states are continuing to invest in AI and its various sub-disciplines, fully aware of the impact this technology is increasingly having on economics as well as national security.
The OODA Loop
US Air Force Colonel John Boyd developed what is now known as the OODA Loop. OODA represents the process of observing, orienting, deciding and acting. This process is not only one still employed by the US military (all branches) but also a process adopted by many businesses.
It requires first and foremost the ability to not only accumulate immense amounts of information during the “observe” process, but also requires the ability to make sense of that information. Human analysts are limited by the amount of information they can sift through, and even then they are limited by various human flaws that may prevent the successful interpretation of information they do sift through.
AI on the other hand, is able to sift through immense amounts of information, at incredible rates and with accuracy repeatedly proven to be superior to human analysts.
To get a grip on the scale we’re discussing, consider the fact that Facebook has AI algorithms that sift through, identify the faces and objects within and accurately tag a monumental 350 million photographs… daily.
In a 2017 talk at the US Naval War College, Admiral John Richardson would impress upon the audience two key points.
First, today with information technology and sensors (including satellites, ground sensors and information available across the Internet), a massive amount of information is now available strategically and tactically for military commanders. Second, whichever nation is able to accumulate and make sense of this information the fastest will have an edge over its adversaries.
The “observe” and “orient” processes of the OODA loop currently and in the future depend on the ability to acquire and make sense of this information, providing commanders with the most crucial information from among the vast amount of info available in order to “decide” and “act.”
An AI algorithm able to process images, text and other forms of information by the hundreds of millions within a single day and accurately categorize and prioritize it is clearly a tool that will be essential for future warfare.
The United States, both across public and private institutions and enterprises, is investing deeply in developing the ability to do this and to do it better than other nations.
AI Arms Race: Racing Toward Global Balance?
The OODA Loop was originally conceived as a means of creating an agile military able to overcome the brute force of a much larger but less agile enemy. Today, it is a blade that cuts both ways.
The US, which conceived and openly develops the OODA Loop, continuing today to augment it with AI and machine learning, could find itself either the agile military out-competing larger but less agile enemies, or out-competed by nations who are more successful at integrating AI and machine learning into their own intelligence and decision making processes.
Currently it is not clear who has the greatest advantage regarding AI. Even with the US possessing the largest number of total AI researchers as well as the largest number of top researchers, AI has not been able to make a significant difference for the US in terms of its declining economic and military might.
With other nations fully aware of the impact AI is having and will have in the future, all while fully investing in this discipline and attempting to catch up to the US, it is doubtful the US ever will acquire a significant advantage in terms of AI alone.

But in order to ensure this much more appealing future, other nations must continue investing in and developing tools and capabilities like AI to ensure such a balance of power emerges and is sustainable.
