I’m not denying he’s a genius - but his political success is largely due to having the balls (and wisdom) to tell the unvarnished truth, and damn the torpedos.
He speaks his mind on Twitter, but also in interviews, at rallies, press conferences, speeches, whatever. He obviously isn’t trying to score political points, and thereby scores political points.
I think his honesty is so refreshing - no wonder people in high places hate him so much.
There’s a word of it, I think they call it unconscious competent.
