Leadership looks like Abrams
Manhattan: I couldn’t disagree more with Voicer Janice Amato. Stacey Abrams gave a clear, concise speech — refreshingly so, as contrasted with our glorious Presidente and his very long, rambling, almost incoherent address, filled with lies, contradictions, and bombast. Let’s hope that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to stand up to Donald Trump and not indulge his childish whims. The visual is very, very telling: seeing Trump and his cronies together — a bunch of mostly white, middle-aged, wealthy men with one or two women placed amongst them, and then seeing Democrats together, all skin colors, male, female, tall, short, looking like true representatives of this great, diverse nation.
We desperately need a mature, eloquent leader inhabiting the White House, one who can speak clearly, one who doesn’t change his or her mind every 10 minutes, one who is able to read and digest information, one who is familiar with our laws and how our government actually works and, perhaps most importantly, one who communicates via means other than the constant use of Twitter.
