Leadership: Trump vs. Harris

For the past two weeks, I have been on a high, thanks to Kamala Harris joining the Presidential Race.

Trump's Lack of Leadership

Ever since Donald Trump has been on the scene, I've been horrified. As a leader myself and someone who has taught leadership classes, Donald Trump continually exemplifies what NOT to do!

His followers appear to be more interested in his money and power than his integrity.

His lies, racism, disrespect, arrogance, cruelty, and abuse of power are so blatant and appear to be what attracts his base. For the four years that Trump was President, I was embarrassed to be an American.

Now we've seen him incite an insurrection and call for the hanging of his own Vice President. We've seen him become even more enamored with his own power. We see him ready to support Project 2025 which would send our country back 50 years.

Kamala Harris: A Strong Leader

Kamala Harris is the exact opposite of Donald Trump. She's charismatic, intelligent, classy, determined, positive and knows how to get things done! What a welcome, joyful politician!

I'm not a Democrat, but a Centrist. I'm even right of center on the question of abortion. Although I don't believe in abortion for myself, I agree with Harris that such a decision is not one the government should make for me or any woman.

Extremism on either side turns me off. Donald Trump and JD Vance are so extreme they're not even on the map! Giving Trump power would be reckless and dangerous.

Trump's argument against Harris includes ridiculous insults about her intelligence and qualifications. Well, we've all seen her in action. We've seen her raise more money and gain more volunteers in her first week than any other Presidential candidate in history.

Get Involved!

I've been involved in a variety of volunteer efforts for the Harris campaign since she announced her candidacy. Everything is so organized! I just finished a two-part training on helping with social media content. This is my first blog post on the subject, but I hope to have a weekly post (probably on LinkedIn) where I welcome discussion.

There are also plenty of events sprouting up organically and otherwise. I found out about an Elders for Kamala Zoom Call by Third Act that's tomorrow evening.

I also signed up with Voter Protection to help people by answering questions about early voting or registering to vote in their state. I'm hoping to go to one of the battleground states (North Carolina or Arizona) to actually help at the polls.

It's so empowering to jump on this band-wagon! This is the first time I've ever been so excited about a Presidential candidate. I hope you'll join me in discussions and volunteer efforts. Let's Win This!

Discussion Question

Do you agree with me that Donald Trump epitomizes poor leadership? If so, why does he have so many followers?

Hate Trump, Hate Freedom! When the two front running presidential candidates are compared, it should be crystal clear on who has the better hand to govern the nation and restore the common sense necessary to keep fundamental values intact. People aren’t registering that their freedom is slipping away at an alarming rate. Where is your money? What happened to your hope? Can your children be safe? Is your future in jeopardy? Will the country ever go back to a strong position again? Are you hating a person so badly when your freedom is continually being stripped away? What is left without freedom? God’s word stand for freedom when we live for Christ. All darkness goes away and we see the path of everlasting life. The time is right now to turn in the opposite direction of the world and seek God’s word in truth. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 #mentalhealth #motivation #inspiration #faith #hope #salvation #future #life #heaven #love #god #jesus #bible #soul #eternity #christ #lord #savior
