Donald Trump's Downfall was himself

 


Like all United States presidents both before and those that will come after, Donald Trump had a chance to do great things. He had a chance to push America forward and bring unity across the land. Instead, he chose to make his four years in the Whitehouse all about himself. This was the beginning of his downfall.

 

One of the things that stands out so strongly in my mind was Trumps use of social media. Nothing wrong with a president using social media, just use it for the right reasons and in a manner that pleases more people than it pisses off. After all, he was the president of the United States…not a blogger or a social influencer living and dying on how many views he gets. Tweeting or posting accomplishments should be fine for a president unless they just plainly come off arrogant or sound like bragging. No one likes bragging.


 

A president that for first time in history was doing all the things he promised out on the campaign trail. But for the life of him he wouldn’t or couldn’t tone things down, and act like a grown up. He did way too many things unbecoming of our president for millions of people to overlook.

 

He used his four years to cater to only those that voted for him. Neglecting those that didn’t find favor with him. Had he put the same time and energy building on both sides of the political arena, he probably would have been a two, term president. Instead, he leaves the office in a whirlwind of chaos.
