• Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, was offered evacuation assistance by the US & the other Western allies, at the start of the war in 2022. He refused to leave while his citizens were in danger. " The fight is here" he said. "I need ammunition, not a ride".
• Churchill was famous for eluding his security to tour the bombed-out streets of London, during the Nazi Blitz. Instead of hiding in safe bunkers, he was frequently on the streets of London alongside his citizens, becoming a visual symbol of defiance.
• When Bush was evacuated from the Emma E. Brooker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, after 9/11, his plane was airborne with roughly 65 advisors, security agents, and senior staff members. He insisted his team accompany him, as they worked collectively to manage the crisis. After landing at Barksdale Air Force Base and then Offutt Air Force Base, the Secret Service strongly advised the President not to return to Washington, D.C., arguing it was too dangerous. Bush overruled his security detail, stating "that's where I want to go," reasoning that he needed to lead the nation directly from the capital, alongside his government staff.
• Donald Trump hid in a catering van, while his staff & members of the media were allowed to board a plane that may have been a target of a foreign government. Surely, a US President could have found a half dozen, alternative methods of ensuring the President’s safety, without endangering that of much of his cabinet; the media; his staff; the crew or compromising the dignity of supposedly the most powerful nation, on earth.

Trump deems himself to be the greatest leader in history. He is, in fact, the greatest embarrassment in history.
