Forgive my vanity in suggesting the best way for Donald Trump to counter the negatives that the Leftist media & globalist business interests appear bent on exploiting, to defeat his candidacy in November. But there is a relatively simple way for him to accomplish several goals with one relatively simple stroke; several goals simply by the effective use of program length television & radio.
Consider the false narrative being promoted by various business groups, insistent on an imagined need for their version of both "free trade" & "liberal immigration" policy; a false narrative being given great currency in the media.
It is a veritable given, that the true effect of any policy, both pro & con, will be found in understanding the full context of the dynamic factors involved. Donald has already garnered the support of those opposed to the policies indicated. Many of the claimed "negatives," about his candidacy, flow from the false narrative of the claimed effect of those opposed policies on the Gross Domestic Product of the United States. Other negatives flow from the claim that he generally lacks specificity, is arrogant, and is simply shooting from the hip.
Clearly the following approach answers the need to rebut all of those claimed negatives--and the same approach, in modified formats, can be adopted with respect to all other issues:
In a half hour broadcast, in a fatherly, not argumentative manner, Donald simply refutes the fallacy of "macro economics"; quietly, but forcefully breaking down how in aggregating the effect of an infinite number of economic decisions, the actual effect on any community, segment of the population, State or economic class is completely masked.
This would include showing how multi-national corporations, indifferent to America's unique interests--but large enough to survive the destructive regulations that destroy local industry--sop up the "growth" in GDP; how any growth from low wage immigration, or increased markets, via new immigrants, more likely goes to those new immigrants, than to rooted Americans; how, in fact, the effect of the open border, inures more to Latin America's benefit than to that of the rooted American population, being put out of work, while bearing the social costs attendant on an incongruous flood of those with very different values.
In short, in a fatherly way, which reverses the perception of some as to Donald Trump's personality, Trump can teach the public why--why in absolutely irrefutable terms--mainstream America has been suffering, not benefiting from the false narrative, being promoted by those employing the completely misleading techniques of "macro economic" rationalizations, which can only mask the evolving tragedy, that Trump intends to correct.
Thanks, Amntn!
That ain’t no road, man that’s a cliff!
If you intend to challenge my suggested explanation for how “macro economic” models mislead & obfuscate reality, have at it!
Donald Trump never tells or brags what he does for people, he does brag about what he has built, etc. but never what he does for the kind acts he does for regular Americans:
Even Donald Trump’s critics agree- He is a man of action. He’s not the type to wait around for government help. He wins because he works hard and is dedicated.
But this story is extraordinary! In Los Angeles, an airline was refusing to help get a sick 3-year-old Jewish boy on a flight.
Trump was called, and he immediately made his expensive private jet available. Donald Trump acted to save the day, without hesitation.
THIS is what a REAL leader looks like.
The private Boeing 727 of real estate tycoon Donald Trump arrived from Los Angeles at LaGuardia Airport Tuesday morning, carrying aboard an Orthodox Jewish child with a rare and still undiagnosed breathing illness.
The child, Andrew Ten, age 3, arrived with his parents — accompanied by three nurses who attend to him around the clock — to try to seek medical help in the New York area.
Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of their plight.
Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe.
Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said ‘yes, I’ll send my plane out,’” 29-year-old Harold Ten recalled shortly after he landed here Tuesday morning.
Asked why he thought Trump made his private jet available, Ten replied, “Because he is a good man. He has three children of his own and he knows what being a parent is all about.”
While Donald Trump is busy saving young boys at airports, President Barack Obama allows his family to live in poverty somewhere in Kenya.
Thank you Donald Trump for setting such an example for the rest of us! We should always help others in need.
There are many more stories about Mr. Trump than this one, but I just think this is the type of man that America needs to represent her to the World right now...
On the other hand, the anecdotal evidence of the real Hillary--such as it is--is carefully suppressed. It is up to us to see that the truth will out.
Again, thank you!
I’m happy with you slugging around in non-germane macro-economics.
You just need to look up from that ledger and see its a cliff Trump has you all marching toward. The nickels and dimes won’t matter so much at the end of a 500 foot drop.
The principal attack on Trump from the Republican business class is based on misunderstood—or deliberately misinterpreted—macro economics. If you do not want to defend them; that is one thing. But do you really think that analysis of policy effects on the GDP merely involve “nickels and dimes?”
You seem, at least, to be implying that it is a mistake to back the one candidate, in either party, to whom there are no sacred (politically correct) cows that are above challenge or criticism. The implication being that it is dangerous to rock the boat that is racing towards our destruction. Let me suggest that there is no way--none whatsoever--that you can actually justify your cliff metaphor under the relevant context to what we are discussing.
Donald Trump is a natural Conservative (see Metaphor For American Conservatism). He is now increasingly focused on how & why we have gone astray from our heritage in recent decades. That is not a path towards falling off a cliff; it is, rather, the safest way to avoid such a fate. Indeed, perhaps the last clear chance that we have to avoid such a fate.

Thanks, Laz, for chiming in before.
I gave my reasonable response on the other thread.
Are you rationed to one effort at reason, a day?
Meanwhile the campaign for an American Future will go on with you, or without you.
Bump to the top. If all goes well today in New York, our approach will be all the more relevant.
Hope you post it widely!
I think that I will email it to a few folk, later today, and see how that works out. My computer does not always do so well with images.
Tactical Bump!
