Trump is using political jujitsu, all the hand wringing, including here on FR, notwithstanding.
Unlike Obama, Trump truly is so smart a lot of people can’t understand him.
A lot of people confuse sounding intellectual with being intelligent. Trump doesn’t speak Harvard, so the bumpkins assume that’s he’s a bumpkin.
Trump is far smarter than the average bear. I’ll give you that.
The problem is that half our electorate is dumb as a brick. Too dumb to pick-up on what he is trying to tell them.
I think much of the hand wringing around here is because some of our fellow Freepers have a traditional mindset in thinking what a presidential campaign is supposed to be like. Look, Trump won the GOP nomination by not following conventional rules. Why expect him to follow tradition now? As if that helped in the last two elections. All the angst over him not spending money yet on commercials. People wetting their pants with every word he says. Trump is well aware of the game the Uniparty and their media arm is trying to play on him, and he’s throwing it back in their faces. They may have damaged him with this relentless attack, but they didn’t destroy his campaign.
It could also be that Trump’s mind causes him to naturally swerve into these non-outrages.
He’s ‘stream of consciousness’. And since his consciousness holds no true malice toward normal people [by freedom loving standards] he naturally means well.
