Trump does have a blind spot for political talent and likely leans too much on bad advice.I disagree. I have no idea what or who is giving him advice.
It's not like he has a large pool of advisors to choose from.
He didn't spend his life studying who's who.
He did a hell of a job working through "political blind spots" with such bad advice.
After all that, who came out on top and who look like the fools?
I feel like you suspect I disagree with you on this, and I don’t. I think it was a combination of a few things, and his “blind spot” was one of them. He did make some poor choices. But I do think people were planted in there, and I think he was given both bad advice and deliberately bad advice.
But as I said-he didn’t have a store of political knowledge apart from what he followed socially and what he cultivated in his business.
He wasn’t a “professional” which is one of the things many of us really like about him, myself included. He had to learn things on the job, and had to lean on people for their expertise. And it is there I definitely don’t disagree with you.
He was used to doing that generally as a builder and real estate guy in a business sense, but I think the people he leaned on in a political sense did not do him service in more than a few cases. And like you, I believe some of that lack of “service” was intentional.
Heh, I feel like we are arguing, but...I don’t disagree with you in any material way!
