Trump is a living rosarch test. We look at him, filter his antics, actions and words through our internal prisms, then describe the colors we see. I see Red White and Blue, in bold bright strong hues.
And I see competence..
Economic competence, correctly identifying Jobs and industrial loss as key issues. And correctly identifying trade policy and immigration as the key factors driving the loss of jobs and industries.
Organizational competence. Trump has successfully built and managed a large organization and multiple partnerships in a for profit environment. That tells me he knows how to define key metrics and measure performance. He knows how to select leaders to run his various ventures and properties. That he is quick to respond to market conditions.
Communications competence. Yes Trump is brash when attacked. But he has managed more than any other candidate to communicate his plans and vision. He has put formal policy papers on his web site. He has used social media to excellent effect. He has mastered the art of the rally.
Leadership competence. Trump can size people up quickly. He's not afraid to say "You're fired" and our government can surely use a man with his skills. He has a ton of contacts and can pull the right people for jobs.
Negotiation competence. He wrote "the art of the deal", and his record speaks for itself.
Foreign Policy competence. Trump has dealt with foreign governments and leaders as a businessman. He correctly identified oil as the source of ISIS wealth and called for bombing it.
