Trump first and foremost is a builder.
Secondly, he is marketer and knows more about branding and the media than anyone who has ever graced the national stage.
Lastly he is a salesman and he has a spiel and a method to his “madness”.
Trump would not have been successful over the decade he has been on the national political stage if he not had delivered with accomplishments.
Want to copy Trump.
Don’t even bother to copy his style before you build something.
Newsom and the Democrats are neither builders nor producers, they are the opposite of Trump.
The destroy and consume what decent hard working folk have spent their lives producing.
Words will get you attention, but it is deeds which you get trust.
And a popular MAJORITY trusted Trump in 2024.
NO ONE with a working brain will ever TRUST Newsome nor will they ever take Maher with anything more than a grain of salt.
astute and very well written ... unusual to see that degree of intelligent analysis on FR these days ...
