Forgive my vanity in suggesting the best way for Donald Trump to counter the negatives that the Leftist media & globalist business interests appear bent on exploiting, to defeat his candidacy in November. But there is a relatively simple way for him to accomplish several goals with one relatively simple stroke; several goals simply by the effective use of program length television & radio.
Consider the false narrative being promoted by various business groups, insistent on an imagined need for their version of both "free trade" & "liberal immigration" policy; a false narrative being given great currency in the media.
It is a veritable given, that the true effect of any policy, both pro & con, will be found in understanding the full context of the dynamic factors involved. Donald has already garnered the support of those opposed to the policies indicated. Many of the claimed "negatives," about his candidacy, flow from the false narrative of the claimed effect of those opposed policies on the Gross Domestic Product of the United States. Other negatives flow from the claim that he generally lacks specificity, is arrogant, and is simply shooting from the hip.
Clearly the following approach answers the need to rebut all of those claimed negatives--and the same approach, in modified formats, can be adopted with respect to all other issues:
In a half hour broadcast, in a fatherly, not argumentative manner, Donald simply refutes the fallacy of "macro economics"; quietly, but forcefully breaking down how in aggregating the effect of an infinite number of economic decisions, the actual effect on any community, segment of the population, State or economic class is completely masked.
This would include showing how multi-national corporations, indifferent to America's unique interests--but large enough to survive the destructive regulations that destroy local industry--sop up the "growth" in GDP; how any growth from low wage immigration, or increased markets, via new immigrants, more likely goes to those new immigrants, than to rooted Americans; how, in fact, the effect of the open border, inures more to Latin America's benefit than to that of the rooted American population, being put out of work, while bearing the social costs attendant on an incongruous flood of those with very different values.
In short, in a fatherly way, which reverses the perception of some as to Donald Trump's personality, Trump can teach the public why--why in absolutely irrefutable terms--mainstream America has been suffering, not benefiting from the false narrative, being promoted by those employing the completely misleading techniques of "macro economic" rationalizations, which can only mask the evolving tragedy, that Trump intends to correct.
UrFIRED -SIDE. Chats!
Of course, there are many possible nuances. But if you push the levers of credibility in the public perception, with a frank discussion of the fuller context of the issues being poorly defined by the mass media, you gain great traction. People are starved for explanations that make sense. (It is no accident that we are in the mess, we are.)
Yes. Exactly!
We’ve been talking about it since last fall.
Would help make him look very professional and presidential
Something like this 1991 testimony in front of congress Much of it applies today.
I am not a Trump booster, but I would make every effort to watch an “infomercial” on what he would plan to do if he were elected.
It’s a good suggestion.
A key aspect of the technique is explaining subjects that the media conveniently gloss over, with real clarity. The public is really starved for clarity on subjects that the media & academics have obfuscated to an ulterior purpose. (The internationalists—whether for business motives, or Leftwing theory—really do not want to communicate clarity to the public, which is starved for it.)
I frankly would invite anyone who sees a "flaw" in my proposal, to address it. Also, if any aspect is unclear, let me address the problem.

Reminds me of Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats during the 2nd World War. “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
Trump ping!
Both of which would not allow him to do any fatherly fireside chats.
Why? Because he is unable to suspend talking about himself enough to care about what everyone else needs.
In other words, as much as people hope that he will do the right thing, he can't do any more than he has done so far.
And he will not magically become the man people want him to be.
"On June 16th, when we started this journey, there were 17 candidates.
I was told by everybody, 'Do not go to Iowa. You could never finish even in the
top ten.' And I said, 'But I have friends in Iowa. I know a lot of people in Iowa.
I think they'll really like me. Let's give it a shot.' They said, 'Don't do
it.' I said, 'I have to do it.' And, we finished second,
and I want to tell you something,
I'm just honored, I'm really honored."Donald Trump

Trump has already demonstrated a very high level of intelligence for over 40 years. Your comments do not go to the merits, only to insult.
You pulled me over to this vanity thread of yours. What did you expect?
Excellent ideas. Trump definitely has a fatherly and grandfatherly side to his personality.
Thanks for the ping!
