Leon Panetta told CNN that President Trump has “essentially gone AWOL from the job of leadership that he should be providing a country in trouble.”
Said Panetta: “This is a major crisis. But the president, rather than bringing together some kind of national strategy to confront this crisis, simply resorts to tweeting about vandalism and other things to kind of divert attention from the crisis that’s there.”
He added: “We have a president that is not willing to stand up and do what is necessary in order to lead this country during time of major crisis. I have never experienced a president who has avoided that responsibility.”
