Another example of President Trump not being Presidential

What did President Trump do when the state of Hawaii was hit with a false terror alert?

Did he issue a public statement? Not right away. His first tweet focused on a Wall Street Newspaper story that called attention to a possible payoff from Trump Representatives to a lady, not one of the President's wives, for her silence on her affair with Mr. Trump. Later, the White House did issue a statement that made a point to say that the false alarm was the state of Hawaii's fault, not the Federal Governments. The President still has not made a personal comment about what happened. He did spend his morning tweets focusing on chastizing Democrats for not bending to his will on DACA.

Did the President act decisively when he first found out about what happened? No, he continued to play golf which may actually be a good thing because he did not react obtusely and launch an attack on North Korea.

Suffice it to say, this is another example of Mr. Trump not having the temperament to be the President. Hopefully, he does not do anything that harms the country irreparably or requires the 25th Amendment.
