One of the biggest problems with President Donald Trump in office right now is the fact that he has too much pride. Pride, when left unchecked, can become the downfall of any leader. And it’s sad, because in a time when America is watching the stories of women connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case come to light, what we needed most was compassion. Instead, what we saw was Trump standing at the podium talking about everything he has done for America, how many battles he fought, and how much credit he believes he deserves.
But leadership isn’t about credit. Leadership isn’t about keeping score. A real leader knows how to step out of the spotlight and shine it on the people who need it most. Right now, that spotlight should have been on those hurting women. They needed someone in power to acknowledge their pain, stand with them in their truth, and extend compassion. They didn’t need a lecture about how strong the economy is or how many policies were signed. They needed to know their leader could show empathy.
Over and over again, I keep reminding myself that leadership is not just about receiving praise or power. It’s about giving. It’s about offering strength when others feel weak, offering hope when others feel forgotten, and offering humility when pride tries to take over. And in this moment, Trump missed that calling.
What’s disturbing is that instead of owning his part, instead of admitting that maybe he should pause and acknowledge the humanity in front of him, he chose to deflect. He pointed the finger at Democrats, blaming them for “attacking” him. But this wasn’t about politics. This was about people—real women, real trauma, real pain. And when the President of the United States can’t stop thinking about his own reputation long enough to look another human being in the eye and say, I see you, I hear you, I believe you, then we as a nation are truly in trouble.
It makes me feel heavy inside as an American, watching our leader turn every situation into a moment about him. Because here’s the truth: the measure of a leader is not found in how often he says he’s right. The measure of a leader is found in his ability to admit when he’s wrong. To take accountability. To say, I could have done better, and I will. That is what separates good leaders from great leaders.
God has a way of stripping down prideful hearts. When you refuse to humble yourself, when you make everything about you, He will find a way to remind you that you are human just like everyone else. And I believe that’s what Trump doesn’t fully grasp. Being President is not about living in a constant state of defense. It’s about rising up when people are hurting and showing them that you are willing to stand with them in their darkest moments.
If Trump could just set aside his pride long enough to show vulnerability, to admit that not every battle is about winning, maybe then he would see what true leadership looks like. True leadership is community. True leadership is humility. And true leadership is compassion.
Until then, America will keep longing for a leader who can stop making it about himself and finally make it about the people.
