(4/4) Courage and self-awareness are cornerstones of true leadership. That includes quickly acknowledging errors and making corrections. With a swift reversal back to sensible economic policy, America and the rest of the world can still avoid the catastrophic fall out these tariffs will inflict.
Well we know Trump NEVER admits mistakes or failures so I guess we’re in it for the long haul.
Courage and self-awareness are two things the felon has in short supply.
That’s why he needs to go. Trump and musk and Vance and everybody else he’s appointed into his little circle of hell in the White House.
Nothing in this post exists in this administration, and never will.
The man in question lacks any of the qualities required to identify and correct his errors. What he does have is the the Dunning-Kruger effect. And he has it in spades ♠️
Trumps ego won’t allow it.
Not going to happen. He's insane and incompetent. Acknowledging errors? The error was electing him.
Courage and self-awareness are not attributes this administration has in measurable quantities.
Unfortunately courage and self-awareness are not features ever displayed by this orange monster and his bullying, fascist goons, are they?
Courage and self awareness are not qualities associated with anyone in our idiocracy.
The term I heard that I think applies is economic eugenics. Not just DEI.
You preaching to the choir and we hear you, but Trump is an unhinged lunatic - unchecked and catered to by nothing but yes men. He has surrounded himself with his own personal echo chamber.
Trump? Admit he’s wrong?!?
This is simply and extortion racket, not 'policy' devised with the intent of doing something positive for the country. He only acts in self-interest, in this case expecting that world leaders will bow down to him in return for tariff exemptions or reductions.
Are you protesting your government? You have a tremendous amount of power and influence. USE IT!
tRUMP TAX please call it as it is
This is an opportunity to rewrite and rebalance the world order. The World should come together. We have an opportunity to form new partnerships free from the influence of former allies. The World will function perfectly well without Russia and USA.
Courage and self-awareness? Oh well, world of pain it is then...
Ah, there’s the rub. Narcissistic sociopaths like Trump have zero self-awareness. The real problem lies with elected Republicans who do nothing to stop this administration’s carnage, with Fox News propaganda, and with Trump’s followers who refuse to acknowledge reality.
Yes, Richard, but there are men who *cannot* admit errors. Admitting is an unbearable wound to them. It won't happen. They may find some way to back down while saving face, maybe. But there is no aknowledging errors.
with such immature guys, the only strategy is probably helping them find some dignified way to reverse. (without suggesting you are doing it, of course)
Where on earth did you get the impression trump had either courage, or self awareness? I assume you've met him, I can't imagine you're this naive.
Corporate America and multi-nationals have absolutely no interest in the USA being a viable trading partner to the rest of the world. Really? And what do overseas partners say? Customers? Vendors? Resellers? Supply Chain? #FUBAR #corporationssuck
Courage and self awareness are not things Trump possesses
Or leadership...
This is the only way you could use “courage” and “self-awareness” in the same sentence with “Trump.”
Yeah but Putin told him to tank the world's economy so they can no longer afford to support Ukraine. You're talking as if Trump has any say in the matter.
Fantastic point!
And admit he was wrong? No chance. He’ll take everyone down with him
He will reverse them and blame American businesses for not reacting quickly enough. Then the billionaires swoop in, buy up all the low-priced stock, while we all get poorer.
It’s kind of rich that you’re only calling out tariffs and that is the only aspect that affects you and your money, but you say nothing about all the other crap that Donald Trump is doing to this nation.
His slogan is “Make America Great Again” but every damn thing he does is the exact opposite. I’m not just talking about the stupid tariffs on penguins, is throwing thousands of veterans out of a jobs, slashing services for S.S, it’s every goddamn thing. Call it like it is, Trump is working for Putin
100%
We are dealing with a malignant dumbass. It’s going to take removing him.
I think that our reputation is forever tainted. There is no reason for any country to trust us knowing that everything is subject to destruction at the whim and pen stroke of a mad man.
He will double down if questioned. No mirrors.
Trump created this mess with the help of the GOP and a bunch of billionaires. You are a billionaire yourself, which means you've paid much less in taxes than you shld have, both ethically and morally. Stop blaming someone anonymous. Again, they did it on purpose. This is what they want.
Thank you for speaking out. We need more business leaders to do this.
Aaaaand we’re dead at Self Awareness 🤯
Why should we even think that will happen.
The trouble is that Trump has no self-awareness and is so thin-skinned, he will never accept that he’s wrong - he’s always playing the victim.
There’s no leadership anywhere in the trump administration. You’re acting like he and they can self-reflect. They just grift, lie and con.

Sir, I don't think all can see the message hidden so subtly in the message.
The catastrophic fallout is the entire point, so your kind explanation will not deter them
yup, exactly, only in a bad environment he can rule as King.
This insight highlights the essence of adaptive leadership. Acknowledging mistakes and pivoting quickly is vital, particularly in economic policy Tariff repercussions affect not only economics but also global stability Prioritizing fair trade can enhance int. relations and promote collective growth
Courage, self-awareness, acknowledge errors are not in Trump's skill set. His hubris is our tragedy.
Richard, you are talking to a malignant narcissist with learning disabilities and a cult of sociopathic trauma-zombies behind him. Tell us more about the things finest you learned from failure.
"Donald Trump should have self-awareness and humility" okay and i should shit 22k gold. too bad I don't.
And, that,☝️my friend, perfectly explains why the U.S. is doomed under its current regime.
You're not going to get courage and self-awareness from Trump. And you're certainly not going to get it from the cowardly, sycophantic invertebrate Republicans propping him up.
Trump is not a healthy person or leader. Even #Reagan warned about #tariffs. One man will bring us into a #recession. We are being held hostage by an unstable man.
I fear the inherent character flaws will prevent either courage or self-awareness..
Doesn’t work with the totally uneducated and incompetent leadership we have. Heritage told him tariffs good, will make HIM richer, and that’s all he sees/hears.
And who will be the one who tells Cheeto he has to reverse course? Maybe Mr. Branson should since he is in the same billionaire class as him. Cheeto doesn't listen to anyone and says "he is the only one who is a genius". Please tell this genius to quit and retire. He is too old and feeble to lead.
This ignores the fact that they knew it was a bad idea from the get-go. Of COURSE it is going to send things spiraling. That's what it did in 1930. And even more so now when we have an economy full of small businesses that do international business. My favorite UK bookstore won't ship here now.
The economy in 1930 didn't include a load of small businesses shipping overseas, or relying on parts and products from overseas to complete contracts. They can't absorb these costs, and don't do enough volume to pass them along. This was a toddler move, like flushing a goldfish to see what happens.
Ah! There’s the rub! The Orange Traitor possesses no self-awareness!
The biggest concern are those fawning around him like Hitler disciples!!!
You think he cares about anything other than his third term - potentially an unending one?! He is creating the perfect storm, insurrection & destabilisation so he can suspend both houses in a Coup. If you can’t beat the Constitution - suspend it and rule without it. Wake up & smell the cordite!
You could help but you need to realize what this is. This is not tinkering with governance. This is an international shakedown by a compromised mob boss, wholly empowered by oligarchs and his illiterate ‘cabinet’ hell bent on “drowning democracy in a bathtub” …wake up, join in, stop the mad king
Trumps pride will never allow that
Those are not virtues which the Felon possesses.
bsky.app/profile/did:...
You are screaming into a void, Trump is a Narcissistic Sociopath, he's a rapist, a conman, who has never admitted he was wrong, he lacks that ability because it would destroy his fragile ego.
Courage and self-awareness are not the hallmarks of the Republican administration. Also, sensibility.
You're high if you think any of that applies to Donnie Two-scoops
America is being run by a madman who doesn’t have critical thinking skills. He is a sociopathic liar and a narcissist.
My gut says this is not a mistake. It is intentional.
Courage and self-awareness are only two of the redeeming qualities that Trump lacks. Intelligence would be helpful too. Humility, empathy. . . I could go on but what’s the point?
Courage and self-awareness are the cornerstone of leadership? Yeah, too bad you don't have either. Use your money to feed the hungry. Be more like Jose Andres and less like elon.
Hard to give any credence to someone for all his life has never had a moral compass. I highly doubt any one of his minions are reading his reality or even pushing back. I appreciate your effort though. After 1/6 that should have been the line. Plainly speaking I think he is a mentally unfit person.
I would love for you to be correct but I fear the damage is done: America is no longer a reliable partner. Full stop.
Can you teach loads of managers that please? The managers that only care for their paycheck but don't care about the working people in his team? Thank you.
Trump only listens to Putin!
Rich guy opinions could tip the balance. I'll be over here resenting that fact.
He listens to high net worth individuals.....but he takes his orders from Putin
Can you please quit using “America” and call it where the blame lies—with the orange Cheetolini Trump. He created this mess with the compliance of his cult Republican Congress.
No, Diane, Trump is just the tool. Republicans lusted for and voted for their policies and their crimes against the democracy. Getting rid of Trump does nothing.
Please note that I mention his cult congress. And getting rid of Trump is the first step to breaking up his cult.
Could not agree more. Sadly, we’ve got Trump in charge so we will always do the worst thing possible.
It’s laughable you think Trump would be a “true leader” and admit he made a mistake
Who are you talking to here? Trump? A third grader knows the importance and value of admitting wrong, so I don’t get the purpose of this.
It makes the billionaire feel good about himself. He's got sage wisdom to impart.
Well that gets a follow :)
☮️☮️☮️
Trump can’t do that. He’s held these delusions for a long, long time and now he gets to enact them. Secondly he has delusions of greatness and can’t conceive of himself error of judgement. He just thinks it’s not possible for him to be wrong. He cannot correct what isn’t wrong…
Not a chance that trump would ever acknowledge making an error, but thanks for reminding people what a normal leader would do. Trump's MO...create a disaster only he can fix and then his cult tells him what a savior he is when he reverses course 🤯🐑
All good points. However, Mob Boss Trump isn’t approaching tariffs in a traditional manner and for traditional purposes. He has just stuffed his wallet with a bunch of cudgels with which to carry out his racket. “What can you do for me Mr. prime Minister of India?”
Please Speak w Trump and the billionaires who continue to support and manipulate him! He doesn’t care about everyday humans! Maybe he will listen to you!
Or chat with Laura Loomer... 🤔
I so agree Richard. Where are these brave true leaders?
But he’s not a leader, he is on his revenge tour.
He is a leader. He is the piped piper that leads the rats. Unfortunately he leads them into the city.
With all due respect, Richard, everything Trump is doing is with direct intent. Unless people in positions of power acknowledge this & start using their power to push back to defeat this threat to democracy, every democratic country in the world is doomed. #RemoveTrump
Trump's long history of failing to make corrections and acknowledging his errors is evidenced in decades of multiple bankruptcies. Is the GOP just going to let it play out? Who's money is it anyway?
From your 🦋post to God’s ears… Because this is the Elon Trump Project 25 Heritage Fndn PLANs. It is an intentional takedown by our White Supremacist survival of fittest minded administration. WW3 🇺🇸 /Trump are the bad guys
Please demonstrate one instance in which Trump has shown a facility for self-awareness.
If you haven't figured out by now that the one thing Trump doesn't have is courage then I can't help you.
I think you're anthropomorphising Donald Trump with the olive branch/advice you are offering to him. He's an authoritarian halfwit ruining America from the inside to pay off a debt to Russia. All the media corruption and political cowardice are just symptoms of this. He won't improve himself.
All visits to the USSR in 1987 were organized by Intourist. It's the only way someone could visit the USSR.
Sorry, Richard. There is no self awareness.As long as his golf course at MAL still exists; all is well in his world. Thanks for trying, though.
He doesn't have it in him to admit a mistake. Ever.
You know he has never admitted making a mistake in his life. He is one of the least self-aware people on the planet, right up there with Leon Husk.
He will never accept that he has done anything wrong.
Impossible. Nazis don't bow. They must be defeated.
How is it that our billionaires are so much nicer than theirs? Well said Sir
You are logically so correct. Unfortunately, our liar in chief would never admit he has ever done a single wrong thing in his life- hmm, must think he is God.
gop knows NO courage! maga means COWARDS! Rs maga are NOT trustworthy! trump is a flip flapper with no conscious! He will burn this nation down before admitting or correcting any errors! Rs maga will let him sink the boat with everyone in it! maga racism is > than 🇺🇸
Do you honestly think 47 has ever done anything courageous in his entire life? Do you think he’s capable of even imagining what courage is? He is entirely devoid of positive human attributes: a black hole who drags everyone down to his level. An event horizon of callousness.
Well it’s safe to say there is currently no leadership in Washington. Just a vindictive, evil, megalomaniac
These are lessons the felon will never be capable of learning.
Wrong guy in charge. No courage, no self-awareness
Yep.
No loyalty to America. Putin’s bitch.
I thought that DJT only had SELF-AWARNESS - and nothing else.
Psychopath! #notlikeus
And when was the last time Trump admitted he was wrong?
Not in this lifetime.
Never. That’s how you know he isn’t Christian. You can’t be Christian if you don’t ask for God’s forgiveness for your sins, the basic tenet of Christianity
You left out NO SHAME
And brains.
And grace
Can you believe we used to demand a leader be honorable too... We even spoke of honor as a virtue. I don't even think 60% of the US pop knows what honor is anymore. It is never spoken of, let alone demanded.
The list is long…
Or empathy.
You would need a person with common sense to give this advice too, the Americans elected a predator, a grifter, a con and that is what they got
Many people say that DT is a psychopathic narcissist- and as such he is incapable of admitting that he is wrong. About anything.
