Trump also tells his crowds that he loves/likes them and that they’re wonderful. I don’t remember the last time a candidate did that, let alone a politician.
He does know how to read people quickly.
Interesting observation, indicating the beginning of a positive attitude... he might have the rudiments of belief in his heart which is why he is so hard to peg.
Belief gets put to a sterner test when it begins to fight. That’s where grace is put under stress. Can you tell your enemy you still love him, and convince him you mean it?
