Scott Gilmore: Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau are both committed performers playing different roles, but neither of them actually lead

Trump and Trudeau attend the NATO summit at the Grove Hotel on Dec. 4, 2019, in Watford, England

Trump’s history as a performer is expansive. He has been playing blockbuster roles his entire career, fabricating personality traits, property deals, and romantic successes as well as any Tony Award winner. He’s a method actor who always stays in character, always playing the tough guy, the genius, the saviour. Although, perhaps he has a bad habit of relying too heavily on face paint and hair.

Their acting abilities do not work for everyone. For every American who admiringly applauds Trump’s monologues, there are two others who roll their eyes at the obvious histrionics, the fabricated anecdotes and the false swagger.

The acting styles of the two leaders reveal differences. Trump’s performance inadvertently exposes that he is a sociopath—he makes character choices that lack humanity and are needlessly cruel. Trump doesn’t want to be liked, he wants to be feared or envied.

i can’t believe that I totally agree with Scott for once

Well said..

One thing they have in coming . The love too show boat there brand . 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Wrong. One leads = Don One follows= Justin

How did we end up with these two. And Biden appears to be an older PMJT, loves to grope, loves to profit, loves to act racist but not believing it is... how have we gotten here?

do people still even read macleans magazine anymore...if not this article is an example of why...

Oh ~yay~.... Yet another right wing ‘opinion’ masquerading as news. Plus, your take is not the view of other countries, who have praised our PM or the 3/4’s of the country that support him. But.... you do right wing you. *online subscription cancelled*

Leading isn't entirely about your projection and what people see. It's also about the internals of weighing responsibilities too. JT also has a responsibility to maintain relationships with countries, not just its leaders, and Canada's reputation.

At least one of them isn't actively trying to kill us all.

😂😂😂😂😂

And is turning into a tabloid that is not worth the paper it is printed on

And Maclains is a stupid magazine. Millinials are going to kill conservatism.

Trump is a terrible old fascist mobster and a terrible person.

B.S.

Gilmore clearly doesn’t know what leadership is.

I’d agree with that. One of them does get results though.

I disagree with the comment you made that Trudeau is not an idiot, he epitomizes the very word “idiot”. Donald Trump over Corrupt Dictator Trudeau any day of the week, hands down! TrudeauMustGo TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauCorruption

Shallow reading.

Scott_Gilmore I can't even get through the first two paragraphs of this bullpuck article... written by leader expert S. Gilmore.

Trudeau's leadership style: throw money at everything Trump's leadership style: blame everyone else

wow, did you guys actually publish an article worth reading? we will see.

They are both dividers, not uniters. They are both prone to making dumb comments on Twitter. They are both not intellectually capable for the rigours of their job

but Scott Gilmore is a great great leader.

That’s a load of manure . Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a great leader of Canada o

I'll just leave this here.

Your boy Scott thinks navigating a minority government within a parliamentary system, while co-ordinating with premiers from all sides of the political spectrum, & bringing some calm and confidence to the job is not a leader? Guess he'd prefer a strongman authoritarian. dobetter

They are both frauds.
