I think it’s time for America’s leaders to stand up and organize our citizens in order to make long lasting policy changes. Citizens are paying attention. I want there to be a great American debate about what these changes should be. The world is watching and the American system is being tested. Let’s meet the challenge and be the example we want to see in the world. Clearly America is nowhere near perfect but with effort we can improve.

I am disappointed by the lack of leadership from the white house. The president should address the nation, bring it together and create a strategy to resolve these issues.

Edit: I should say "disappointed" instead of "surprised". Agree with the responses, there is no expectation anymore from the Whitehouse after 3 years of incompetency.

What's surprising about that? I'm actually asking, not trying to provoke.

There are four years of precedent of the leadership specifically and intentionally dividing and radicalizing the nation to directly drive electoral support to maintain power. Cruelty to outside groups is historically a very effective means to consolidate power. This is completely in line with past behavior and will more than likely continue.

You honestly expect Trump to lead, strategize, and bring the nation together, to the point of surprise that he hasn't?

Ok, and one third of the people support those policies and one third doesn't, and both thirds will fight each other tooth-and-nail. What then?

So you want the GOP President to convince liberal strongholds such as DC, NYC and Minneapolis to be less racist? They've made it clear the do not respect him as a leader from day one. Don't really blame him for focusing elsewhere

4 years? Probably closer to 40 on all sides of the spectrum
