Many U.S. presidents have been flawed individuals, with some exhibiting volcanic tempers, yet they generally maintained a guiding philosophy regarding governance. In contrast, Donald Trump has shown no such guiding belief in his presidency, operating instead from a place of anger and pettiness. His initial candidacy was linked to a personal grievance against President Obama, stemming from a perceived humiliation at a public event. This obsession with Obama, along with a culture of retribution, characterizes his leadership style, diverging from traditional presidential conduct.
Trump's first run for office was itself a kind of petty tantrum. Trump had always wanted to run for president, a wish he expressed as far back as the 1980s.
Trump exhibits no guiding belief. From his first day as a candidate, Trump has appeared animated by anger, fear, and, most of all, pettiness.
