It appears that the sheen might be wearing off the Trump's leadership and brand in more ways than one:
"With so many buildings publicly cutting ties with the president, or seeking to, are we witnessing the beginning of the end of Trump’s real estate empire? One industry expert, who also wished to remain anonymous, says they doubt the Trump name has long-term viability on either residential buildings or hotels. “My instinct says [Trump] is going to end up in a bad situation and developers are going to want to distance themselves. The damage to the name is already profound and will only get worse.”

There are ample signs that the longer Trump remains in DC, the less welcome his name will be in cities around the world. While the president may be “a very stable genius”, his real estate empire is beginning to look more than a little shaky.

Who knows? Perhaps bankruptcy # 5 (is it 4, 5 or 6? It's hard to keep count.) isn't too far away ....

Just a note... From my own state:

https://www.drugrehab.com/2017/05/03/methamphetamine-crisis-in-washington-state/

It references Spokane area in the R part of the state

quote:

In 2006, Congress passed the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act (CMEA), which made large-scale domestic meth production nearly impossible...

As a result of the crackdown, commercial-scale meth production was taken over by drug cartels, which manufacture the drug, then covertly shipped across the U.S.-Mexico border. Several cartels, including the Sinaloa cartel, the Knights Templar cartel and the Beltran-Leyva Organization, compete for shares of Washington’s drug market and ship large quantities of meth to the state. So, despite the production crackdown, the meth supply is still growing. The DEA seized 250 pounds of meth in Washington in 2010, and 600 pounds in 2014.

Yes we have heard it all before.

How many bankruptcies has Trump managed to clock up to date? Is it 4, 5, 6, or more? So we have heard it all before several times ....

He should have gone on national TV and radio and assured Hawaii and the whole nation that we are safe and done so within the 38 minutes. And, if there was even a possibility that he was not notified in a timely manner, he should have immediately done so afterward (which he has not done). That's what a leader would do.
I have been a leader for the last 20 years of my career, and have dealt with similar situations (albeit nuclear missile alerts) and that is exactly what I have done. It is, I sincerely believe Obama would have done. It is most certainly what any competent leader of ANY nation on this planet would have done. I could care less what party anyone is from. There is leadership, and there is the current administration. The two could not be farther apart.

With as disingenuous as you argue, I feel sorry for your followers.

I can sincerely assure you that I am not being disingenuous in any way.
I am sorry you feel that way. I have always enjoyed debating with you, and have credited you with many ingenious ideas.
I am not sure that I have any followers. However, your comment above is disappointing, nonetheless.

He has never played by the rules, everything "presidential" is dead in this administration.
his base love it, because they feel he is the only one who can do it.

Trump plays by the rules, just not the rules of politics. And, I do think that's his biggest failing. He's still trying to force a political environment to function like a business environment, and I don't think he'll succeed at it.
But, I do think his lack of playing politics is what got him elected, so, what's to be expected?

They are right
But what are their expectations of what comes after the RNC implodes?
Im guessing that until it affects them, they love every nasty turn.

Are we sure the RNC is going to implode?
I'm truly hoping the RNC gets back to it's traditional party platform. If you recall, I maintained that Trump should have been disqualified and not nominated by the GOP because he doesn't follow the traditional GOP platform. Both parties need a "come to Jesus" moment to right themselves, imo.

I dont count you as his base..
you are far too reasonable to be one.

He should MOST definitely be immediately notified of ANY alerts of incoming missiles to ANY US territory.

What was the president supposed to do? It was a state-level thing.
Why do leftists automatically assume that the president has to act as king or god over their lives

An alert that part of the U.S. is about to be destroyed by an incoming ICBM is not a "state-level" thing. Sorry.
I love this country. If ANY part of it were under attack, or if I knew of an ALERT that any part of it were under attack, I would be concerned.
I expect our President to feel the same way. I realize I need to constantly lower my expectations for this administration.
As for what leftists do, I don't know or care.

You claimed to be a leader for 20 years. I said I felt bad for your followers. You thought I meant here on the forums?!? Maybe you spend too much time in Spokane. You are having a tough time keeping up there, bub.
