My understanding of Trump is bound up in what I have been told is one of his principles, which lets him go places in the end and get to a deal that is good for him.
It's how he moves the Overton window and why he's been so successful in this campaign.
If you understand he's playing a long term game here, you will understand some of his apparently off the wall statements better.
Examples:
1. His moving the Overton window on illegals.
2. His moving of the Overton window on muzzies.
3. His taking away of the Bush past as an issue (understand I believe he went waaaay to far with this and hated most of what he did, but he took a future issue off the table).
4. His taking away the war on women crap. He did that brilliantly.
5. His putting the Clinton's on notice about #waronwomen, and beginning the death spiral of the Hildabeast. Brilliant.
Yes, he's got problems, yes some things will bite us in the butt, but that's a given with any candidate, including Cruz.
if there were anymore sugar in that coating, it would melt in a rain storm.
Art of the Deal is about cronyism.
Doing the art of the deal doesn’t have a damned thing to do with being able to move the macro economy forward - which can ONLY be done by government getting the hell out of the way. When have you ever heard Trump say ANYTHING related to that even remotely?
Remember TARP, Stimulus, every single bail out - Trump was on board and saying they weren’t big enough!!!!!
