People want what they want and sadly, they tend to confuse it with what they need. And leaders today are chosen by what people want, when more often than not it’s not what we need. A true leader has the cojones to do what needs to be done, regardless of how many people want it.

But to refuse to even give an address to the nation? To just go “well, I sent the National Guard, what more do you want?!?” is not the attitude of a leader who should at least show some face when his nation is in turmoil. When things like this happen you come up with a way to deal with it, you take the reins and you take charge of the situation. You don’t hide out in safety refusing to even talk to your people and reassure them that you’ll do more than throw the National Guard so they can sort it out.

I'm not sure they would *allow* him to go to a protest site as the president due to the danger he would be in. I don't think they would let *any* president to go to a protest due to the danger and would hide them away.
