Strong Obama, Weak Trump

How one weathers criticism is a gauge of self confidence and strength of character.  For Obama it is blue skies all the way.  He had the strength to choose his primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State.

Trump becomes dark and stormy, with irrational outbursts of thunder and lightening.  His Secretary of State. Rex Tillerson, has international experience as an oilman, but not in government.  In a hopeful sign, he selected Elliot Abrams, a fixture in past GOP administrations, to fill the gap.  All looked well after a dinner with Trump.

But then Trump's den of Steves, alerted Trump to an anti-Trump editorial by Abrams.  The editorial was not one of the harsher articles, nor did Abrams join the "Never Trump" gang.  But the editorial was enough to quash Abrams ascension.

If Trump's skin were any  thinner we would see his internal organs.
