Peterson letter: Donald Trump

The president needs to display strategic leader qualities of: 1. Trust; 2. Discipline and self control; 3. Judgment and critical thinking; 4. Self-awareness; and 5. Empathy. Donald Trump has not done this and it’s hurting him and the presidency. Also, I think I know who his friend Jim is. It’s Jim Crow, and he’s likely to get a position on Kris Kobach of Kansas (KKK) voter integrity commission. Now more than ever it’s important to protect our Constitution and democracy. Unfortunately, it’s from our own president.
