It's interesting you should mention that.

I've thought for a while now that one of the few positive lessons from the first Trump term is that US presidents should be a little less timid. (Think of Obama's "lead from the back" nonsense that did nothing.)

To be clear, that doesn't mean: be stupid, act impulsively, ignore coalitions, or anything like that. It means just what it says.

Less timid - agreed - but be smart. Poor choice of words from Obama. I hope he meant we're not going to fight your battles for you or tell you what to do.
