Trump treats politics as a contact sport. He's competitive.
It's not in his nature to be sweet and gentlemanly. He's from Queens after all, not Antebellum Atlanta.
“It’s not in his nature to be sweet and gentlemanly. He’s from Queens after all, not Antebellum Atlanta.”
Who’s from Antebellum Atlanta???
And no, Trump’s nature is not because he’s from Qeens, NYC. NY.
He is and was a publicity hound and seeker always, no matter his work at the time. He was always braggadocio from his work in real estate to his work in television. He was “old school” (Maye West) as far as publicity - NO publicity is “bad”. The only bad publicity is no publicity.
Ego - unlike many big one-owner business people, Trump names most of his business venttures after himself - Trump builing, Trump Casino, Trump Hotel, Trump Golf Course, ect., ect. ect., ect. Is that existential to being a sucess? No. It’s ego.
