I can see reading your posts you feel much the same way as I do about him.

I was sick to death of professional politicians...and he was a breath of fresh air to me. And still is.

He is the polar opposite of the Clinton or Obama style of politician who parses every single thing they say, subjects every phrase to a focus testing group, studies every poll for the most politically advantageous path, and sticks their finger in the air every few seconds to get the wind direction.

I love it that he says things that are rude, not well thought out, or downright wrong on occasion because...that is the way most of us operate.

I read the book “Let Trump Be Trump”, and here was an anecdote I found hilarious from the 2016 campaign:

There were two women in the media team of Trump’s campaign who were involved in a contentious love triangle, and things came to a head right before a campaign stop. One of the women was one of his speechwriters, I think, the other was a media person.

The speechwriter got so upset at the other woman involved with the same guy she was, that she had to leave the campaign event and didn’t see Trump give his speech. When she returned to the plane, Trump was sitting in his favorite spot they always had set up for him on the plane. It was a place where they placed a bunch of newspapers and magazines for him to read, and when he sat down, nobody would disturb him.

I guess it was his “quiet time”.

So he sits down, and the sulking speechwriter comes aboard and walks by Trump, who pauses reading asks her how she liked his speech, and without much elaboration she says she didn’t see it. Trump didn’t display much reaction, and went back to reading his newspaper, held up to hide his face.

The other woman in the love triangle boarded Trump Force One soon thereafter, and two women began to argue with each other.

The argument got louder and louder, and everyone began glancing nervously at both Trump reading his paper and the two women who were approaching the shouting stage, knowing Trump didn’t want any distractions while he read his papers.

As the spat reached a crescendo, Trump lowers the paper and yells: “Cat Fight!” And just as quickly, goes back to reading the newspaper!
