I watched Trump on O’Reilly last night. He seems to not understand the concept of thinking before he speaks.
Every word he utters is analyzed, as always happens in Presidential politics. He’s no longer in the private sector, he’s no longer the boss (although he wants to be), and he can’t just run his mouth without suffering the consequences. He needs to make sure of his facts.
O’Reilly asked him a reasonable question about some bogus stats that Trump had re-tweeted, and Trump told him somebody else came up with the numbers and that he can’t be expected to check everything that comes to him.
I sat here shaking my head. Don’t know if it’s arrogance or just political naivete.
And as the 10-14,000 people that attended his rally in Ohio last night, that’s the difference...and his appeal. He has changed the rules (thus far)and refreshingly, doesn’t give a sh*t.
There’s no question that Trump can draw big crowds and has substantial support today. My concern is whether he will be taken seriously enough next summer to win the White House.
