Ha — look at that tie.

Trump looks practically like a kid but he was already a billionaire.

I think what is more important is that his form of intelligence is that of a real-world product producer, not a public-sector career politician or a private-sector vulture capitalist.

What a different world if President Trump had followed President Reagan in 1988.

He speaks about television and how it’s hurt the political process.

As someone who never ran for political office before, it’s interesting how, prior to his political debut of successfully running for the highest political office in the world, he first mastered the arts of television and entertainment to great success.

And he did that after he had first successfully mastered the business arts of real estate and hospitality at the highest levels.

Love the man or hate him, I don’t care.

I say we are lucky to have such a very stable and high functioning genius as POTUS, as we do with President Donald J. Trump.

Consider what we almost got instead ...

Barbra Walters specialty was politicians.

Yes. When she wasn't sleeping with them, she was interviewing them.

which may be right but may be unpopular wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile

Good thing the Hildebeest didn't smile much during the campaign. :)

I read most of that interview. Thx for posting, by the way.
I was greatly impressed by at least two observations:

#1. Rona looked, spoke and acted like a professional at all times. She smiled pleasantly and listened well, but at no time did I think she was star struck, or sending Cougar-Flirt (”Come up & see me sometime after your next divorce.) messages to Donald. Rona’s approach was very respectful!

Nowadays, if you’re a super wealthy man, the typical reporter will ask Trap-Door “Gotcha!” questions, to try and humiliate their guest. Try to lower their stature just a bit.
I can’t think of any Lady reporter of today who could have done a better job without trying to become THE story herself.

#2. The Donald was a deep thinker already, at age 34.
A keen observer of his life and the lives of those in his orbit. He displayed a solid understanding of how personal motivation can guide and drive a person.
