During Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump's campaign launched a seven-figure national ad buy -- a 30-second commercial touting his first-term accomplishments on terrorism, the economy and immigration.
But the real key to the ad -- and the bit that you need to pay very close attention to -- comes in the final moments of the commercial, when the narrator says this:
"He's no Mr. Nice Guy. But sometimes it takes a Donald Trump to change Washington."
Those two sentences are hugely telling when it comes to understanding how Trump (and his campaign) are going to position him in the race for a second term next November.
What's clear from that tag line -- "no Mr. Nice Guy ... sometimes you need a Donald Trump" -- is that the campaign understands how poorly the President is perceived on a bevy of personality traits. He's not seen as friendly. Or kind. Or empathetic. Or even really, someone you'd want to spend a bunch of time around.
This ad tries to turn those traits on their head. Rather than being regarded as a negative for Trump, his campaign is trying to argue that in order to fix a place as broken as Washington, you need someone who doesn't care about whether you like him. Or whether anyone likes him. Who only cares about results.
In a bumper sticker, the campaign messaging that this ad appears to preview goes like this: Yes, he's a jerk. But he's a jerk who gets results!

What worries me is not 2020. What worries me is 2024, when he can’t run again. Then, I fear, it’s back to business as usual, just like in 1988.
Time,,
Perfect!
Bingo! This is a brilliant strategy. It sounds like something Don Draper would conjure up.
That is the PERFECT message ! Hats off to the ad guy who created it.
Cillizza writes what he is told to write.
Of course you’re right. I was just watching the talking heads on the fake news networks with saying the same thing......today’s jewel is “in spite of” about POTUS ordering the death of that monster Baghdadi. It’s like the words of the day are passed down from the DNC as to what they’re all to say for the day......and it’s a sure bet they are.
LOL! They’re easily fooled.
I thought Obama was awful but he was perceived as a nice guy. No drama Obama was.a fraud but it stuck to the lazy masses.
See post #43
:)
That album...OMG.
Bless Pat’s heart but geeze.
:D
Bullies don’t like it much when challenged; and they like it even less when they receive a no-nonsense smack down every time they act like bullies. You’d think the Democrat/Left would learn that lesson but their inability to change their basic nature and their inability to understand and accept reality prevents them — and will continue to prevent them — from doing so.
Are you asking if Trump is running for office?
No. I was answering the question asked in the post, how Trump is going to try to win.
By running?
His catch phrase was “You’re Fired” and America’s enemies are just noticing that he’s not trying to come across as a nice guy? The thugs really are oblivious to what normal people think and want.
“”” He’s not seen as friendly. Or kind. Or empathetic. Or even really, someone you’d want to spend a bunch of time around. “””
20,000 people going to each rally might disagree
I wonder what the grand total attendance of all rallies is.
100 rallies x 20,000 = 2,000,000
That’s a lotta smelly walmart people
President Trump runs on his record after 3 years of getting things done.
Democrats who have been in office for decades are running to fix things they have broken by breaking more things.
Hey Chris, go to sleep. Because that’s the only place, in your dreams, where Trump will let you define his campaign.
Sal, I am so sorry about that!
I don’t know what happened to me.
It was like malevolent spirits took over my hands and made me post it.
It was deemonz, it was, uhhh, ... Trick or Treat!?
LOL
Have you managed to listen to it?
It is surrealistic.
Like big band Vegas lounge lizard versions of metal.
So.
Weird.
The whole album? No, not at all.
I couldn’t even get through all of No More Mr. Nice Guy. :/p
bleh. bleh,bleh,bleh
I thought I had listened to it before but I must have imagined that
because I thought he did a rocking version just in his style.
Hoo boy, did it sound better in my head! lol
Ha! Nice!
