Trump at Active Shooter Training Camp

Perhaps the #1 rule of leadership is that you must show your team that you're personally willing to do anything that you'd ask them to do. Perhaps that why VSG Trump announced today that he would have run into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to save the students and faculty...without a gun.

This genius move demonstrates his leadership while avoiding any inconvenience, much as his many "medical" deferments from service in Vietnam demonstrated his patriotism by allowing his father to provide financial support to a needy doctor. That's VSG - always leading, always supporting others.

Before you jump to the conclusion that Trump was being unrealistic - if not profoundly ignorant - about his willingness to run into a hail of gunfire, remember his super power: his body repulses any metal object that is not 24k gold. So, truth is, his imagined heroic act falls short of true imagined bravery since he is invulnerable to any attacker save Richie Rich. And Goldfinger.
