Trump is actually quite likeable. Like an uncle who speaks his mind, he is blunt and rough around the edges.
But he is definitely likeable.
Trump is like family.
That's how he will win.
If you remember, when I had lunch in the Trump Grill this August (Trump was at a back table with Maureen Dowd eating spaghetti I eventually read), his busboys and waiters told me that they loved him and that we must vote for him. That impressed me. In NYC, the Boss is usually an idiot, a creep, a loser...and “I SHOULD BE BOSS, NOT HIM!” That didn’t appear to be the case with his workers. Speaks well for him.
I like Trump as a person. He seems like a good guy to hang around with.
People either love him or hate him, there’s little in between. But... I just had a conversation with an soon-to-be-laid-off Alcoa employee and he’s made up his mind to hold his nose and vote for a future. His choice? Trump.
