Whether you liked him or not, America needed Donald Trump to be a great president. At this critical time in our history, we needed him to be a Lincoln, a Roosevelt, a JFK. He represented hope for millions of people that Washington, D.C., likes to forget.
One big thing hurt his presidency and re-election. He couldn’t get out of his own way. Too much tweeting. Too much playing to rally crowds and not enough time reaching out to the rest of America. Too many insults of opponents and those who disagree with him. He wished coronavirus away with words instead of creating a strategy to subdue the threat.
Trump faced ceaseless opposition from those who were offended by his outsider status and politics. But great leaders take on challenges and overcome them on the way to manifesting their promises. President Trump lost his presidency, but not to Democrats. He lost to himself.

Note from KBJ: He hasn't lost, Don. Are you watching CNN?
