I know all about Songbird, and not just from news articles. I was a Navy officer, too. I didn’t give McCain a pass.
I also don’t give any of the culprits in GA a pass. My point, which I made clearly for those willing to see, was that Kemp, another small man who couldn’t forgive a public upbraiding from Trump, would likely have been a lot more amenable to helping Trump stop the steal if Trump hadn’t been a gold-plated azzhole to him.
Leadership 101—praise in public, chastise in private. To do otherwise is to invite future problems. Trump still reasons like a child and is emotionally incontinent. If he thinks it, he’s got to say it. It is his fatal flaw, he still hasn’t learned any better, and it will come back to bite him again.
I guess the part where I said that Trump may very well have tried other paths to work with Kemp was unclear. I think Trump may have a very different skill set from yours and his way of approaching situations is undoubtable very different.
I cannot agree at all that he is immature & childish. The attributes you call a fatal flaw are actually tools.
Trump has studied Sun Tzu and ‘The Art of War.’ Sun Tzu councils keeping the enemy off balance by appearing weak when you are strong, causing an enemy to underestimate you by acting confused, silly or stupid. Trump often makes small errors in spelling or syntax that cause people to think he is dumb when his deeper purpose is to get a broader distribution of his comment. He says things that appear wild but get everyone talking and in the talk people begin to look into an area they had ignored so that they discover the lies & deceptions.
On example was when he called Mitch’s wife, Elaine Chao,“Coco Chow”. It was taken as a insult but actually he was starting to draw attention to her family connection to the Communist Party leadership and the money trail enriching the McConnells. Coco Chanel collaborated with the Nazi occupation of France. Trump was drawing attention to the family serving the interests of China rather than the USA.
