Is this me or does this someone who wants control but not responsibility?

It's really someone who wants to own the success of others and blame others for failures. Zero accountability yet still wanting to call the shots.

Ironically Trump refused to "shutdown" the States a decision he deferred to the Governors.

It's wild watching someone who seems to just be a garbage manager be in charge of something as large as the nation. Micromanaging. Manage via publicity. PR instead of content. Agreement instead of actual thought and discussion. I've left jobs over a combination of two of those things, and it seems like we have all of them right now as a nation.

I wish someone who has direct reported to Trump in the past was on this site and could give insights into his actual managerial style.

edit: I'm not trying to talk politics, if that's why I'm being downvoted. My observations are that he is not a good manager. This is what I see in the news and what I read. Both from external media, the white house, and his own tweets. If you disagree, please explain why. I'm looking for hope and don't see any. I would love to.
