You obviously do not understand what being a leader consists of.
Instead of melting like a triggered snowflake about players peacefully prostesting, Trump should have cerbally offered support. He could have drummed up interest in his zombie base, but he chose not to.

An actual leader would put aside such petty things while 3.4 million Americans are suffering. 
The issue with the anthem was pretty much dead too. What kind of a leader would rehash a nealry dead issue in such times? He could have waited and in the mean time expressed concern for the AMERICANS suffering.

Are you defending Trump' s lack of leadership?
