Fantastic post poconopundit!!
Thank you very much, poconopundit, for posting this.
For anyone who may be interested, I went to see him a couple of weeks ago and I’ll share the impressions I now have of President-elect Trump.
I wanted to see him in person and to be close enough to see his eyes because I wanted to be able to pick up on any “red flags” which could signal a discrepancy between his words and his facial expressions and body language.
We got to the rally very early and I was able to stand in the third row slightly left of center in the mosh pit. ;-).
For about a week after the rally I considered and mulled over my experience and experiment then I shared with my husband my finalized impressions of then-candidate Trump. Interestingly, my husband told me that his impressions were the same.
My impressions are this:
Body language: perfectly in accord with his message. If he’s acting, he’s better than Cary Grant. ;-) Seriously, there was no hint which I could pick up of anything less than forthrightness and openness.
Facial expression, eyes: high intelligence, shrewdness, resignation, and resolve.
Finally, excessive ego: none. No kidding. (By the way, these are MY impressions and flamers will be ignored.)
For the record, I already liked him very much before seeing him at the rally, but it’s practically impossible for me to trust anyone 100% or to support any political candidate 100%. There’s a strong part of me that is always testing the other person’s integrity.
I believe Donald Trump will be one of our greatest presidents.

Just an FYI, that was Don Jr who said it, in a tv interview.
Agree with Milo in referring to POTUS as ‘daddy’. Your observations, very astute. Might POTUS, spur more fathers to follow suit? If Only! Boys-young men, deserve a father such as he. Unfortunately these dads are few and far between even if there at all.
I like it!
Well thought out and so TRUE!
