The skill set required to be a successful entrepreneur is not identical to that of a politician, and Trump's political shortcomings are best illustrated by his first debate with Biden, which by every objective measure was a disaster for Trump.
Don't get me wrong, I am a Trump supporter, but he also behaves like a typical New Yorker, and that doesn't work well outside of the Northeast.
“The skill set required to be a successful entrepreneur is not identical to that of a politician...
You mean you think that a politician has a special set of skills that are positive?
“...and Trump’s political shortcomings are best illustrated by his first debate with Biden, which by every objective measure was a disaster for Trump.”
He had only one debate with Biden, and he was debating the moderator, mostly. It was not a disaster for Trump.
“... but he also behaves like a typical New Yorker, and that doesn’t work well outside of the Northeast.”
Surely you are kidding.
Have you happened to notice his draw as he holds rallies across the country? Has never occurred in American politics before.
He had a very successful TV reality show, which I never watched. He was much beloved around the country before he ran for president. I saw a bit of an old TV series not long ago, and he had a cameo appearance. The characters on the show melted like honey.
I get you wrong because Trump has never had a problem filling giant venues and the crowds love his speech. He knows how to connect to the people.
