Take a look at Trump:From Art of The Deal to Art of the Campaign. Maybe it will let you see that Donald Trump has exactly the political skills we need this time.

Carefully crafted words by another ghost writer who follows Trump around with a notepad and scribbles down his random often profanity laced utterings and try’s to make some sense of them.

Trump has the temperament and disposition of an angry elephant running through a China shop. His “political skills” as you call it, consists of insulting anybody
Who comes close to him in the polls.

Trump trusts his own instincts. He has not hired high-paid consultants or focus group experts to advise him. Rather, he gets input from his small staff and seems to listen at a deeper level to needs of the American people he seeks to serve.

from the link provided.

Translation: Trump relies on his own ego for guidance and not on a well considered conservative philosophy. If he gains office and the inevitable pinch comes, Trump will not govern as a conservative but as the egoist he is. Sociopaths, for example (this is not to slander Trump as a sociopath) like Bill Clinton are phenomenally adept at understanding what people want to hear and serving it up to them. This ability is also present in individuals like Donald Trump who are not necessarily social paths but guided by a strong ego.

We want as president a man of character who is a principled conservative whose instincts are conservative and who, like great patriotic Americans, has the indispensably necessary humility to submerge his ego for the greater principle.

From the source you cited: Now each “deal” in the book is actually made up of several supporting deals — agreements/contracts with many parties — which all need to come together to win the business.

That sounds exactly like the kind of reach across the aisle making government work deal making the GOP E does in Washington.....and yet because Trump does it, it's somehow great and magic and special? You guys need to make up your mind.
