I bought that after Christmas and intend to read it soon. I think it should give some insight into pre-candidate Trump.
“I bought that after Christmas and intend to read it soon. I think it should give some insight into pre-candidate Trump.”
Reading it now, along with 3 more of his books i ordered recently. I’ve never seen his reality show and have never paid much attention to him over the years, but was intrigued from day one last summer when he announced.
The more I read, the more I’m realizing that my initial gut reaction about him — that he’s a lot deeper than he wants his enemies to think — is being confirmed on every page. He is purposely trying to ensure that his enemies underestimate him at every turn, and he views this as a huge advantage. That’s a testimony to his self-confidence, really. He’s willing to let the entire world think he’s an impatient idiot blowhard because he knows he’ll be the winner in the end.
It’s not hard to see the subtle nuances behind his words and body language; anyone wanting to see it just needs to pay close attention to the “what, when, and how” of things he says and does. But his political enemies are either:
- too stupid to notice they’re being played
- too emotional to examine him objectively
- too rigid to sit down and read his books to study Trump-facts that may go against their preconceived notions, and/or
- too proud to admit they could be wrong.
And I cannot BEGIN to explain how enjoyable this is to watch.
