I’ve been wondering for three years, if this comes naturally to Trump, or if he plans it. Is he the master or the savant? I haven’t made up my mind yet, but I’m starting to lean toward master.
“Is he the master or the savant?”
....I suspect it’s a little of both.
He is quick on his feet. Despite being a billionaire, he is a street fighter who grew up in Queens, NY. He talks in plain language. You don’t have to carry a dictionary to understand him.
POTUS is very quick on his feet. Fast with a retort. He may think a lot of this stuff up at liesure; and is loaded for bear with it when some idiot pokes him inadvisedly. He lets them hit first, but has a powerful counter punch.
Yes. This comes naturally for Trump. He’s a New Yorker. A real one. He’s a ‘’ball breaker’’.
It’s NYC. The art of the put down reaches its zenith in NYC. Trump is the product of this culture and is a master of sarcasm. The MSM misses the joke intentionally.
Gonna be awfully tough for Fredo to report on the general election campaign — which will be the major continuing News story next year. Maybe that is Trump’s intent? Show his employer, CNN, that if they want to be ‘relevant’ next year that they might have to reconsider Chris Cuomo’s position with the company. While many shudder at the rough treatment, the underlying strategy is shrewd & subtle.
