President Emphasizes Loyalty...But It's Only One-Way

I am an avid fan of the first two Godfather movies...you can have Godfather, Part 3 for all it's worth.  In them is the passing on of an organized crime family's power from father Vito Corleone to his son Michael.  Both men place great importance on the personal loyalty of their people to them...but Vito is the only one of the two who values returning that loyalty shown him.  Michael has learned on a superficial level to talk like his father, but throughout his "reign" he has a nasty habit of throwing his loyal followers under the bus whenever expedience dictates it.  Loyalty to father is rewarded with security and favors, while loyalty to son is punished with danger or even death.  I bring up this movie series because this country of ours has as president someone who makes a very big deal about personal loyalty from those working for him.  How does he return it: like Vito or like Michael?  Events seem to indicate the latter...

Michael Flynn, Jeff Sessions, and Sean Spicer have all demonstrated a tremendous level of loyalty to Donald Trump, yet he has shown virtually none to them.  He was strangely very quick in getting rid of Flynn as his national security advisor, humiliated Spicer by shunning him on trips and drastically cutting back his press briefings while hiring someone as communications director that he knew Spicer was opposed to, and is now on a very public, continual Twitter rant against Attorney General Sessions. And now he's taking swipes at the Republicans in the Senate, who have bent over backwards trying to accommodate him with his legislative agenda.  The question I have to ask is that once you see this pattern of betrayal by someone like Donald Trump...or Michael Corleone...why would you still idolize them as great leaders and continue to display slavish loyalty to them and make excuses for everything they say and do...even if you happen to agree with their agenda? It isn't a conservative vs. liberal binary-type question...there are plenty of great conservative leaders to follow instead who wouldn't behave in this manner...
