I know you’re a heartfelt Trump supporter and I respect your defenses of him and sound reasoning. I didn’t mind that he’d not been specific, I mind that he’d been crass and often shallow and self-aggrandizing. I don’t trust a personality like that, but have always said I’d try to keep an open mind about him.
I admit to a grudging admiration for him. He’s endured rugged and often vicious hits from public and media - (much of it was self-inflicted to start). But I do not expect perfection from politicians, or doctors or lawyers or myself...so I keep watching and paying attention.
Trying to explain what it was like to live through Carter and then Reagan to younger people is hard. But we know that with a president who loves America, great changes can occur.
I hope you didn’t think I was being a scold. Actually, I didn’t even know you were not yet “all in” for Trump. lol.
No, I had been wanting to write about what I believe have always been his best moments, those interviews, IF, he has a fair person sitting across from him. I don’t count any other style, like phone-in interviews on Morning Joe, or the maze of reporters firing Q&A at a press conference.
I just spun off what you said about how nice the interview went and that he is coming right along. Not to say that he may well have become even more polished than ever, it’s just in these types of venue settings, I thought I had seen all that from the beginning. There is much more there than has met the eye.
I was blown away by the Lefties, Kristol and Gergen, complimenting Trump’s style and substance in Erin’s interview. He draws in the interviewer, the camera and the viewers. What a gift. Fabulous! (As he would say. lol)
