Yup. Trump is playing this very smart.
He’s getting a lot of garbage out of the way and carefully crafting an image prior to the innaguration.
He is showing everyone — I can talk with anyone, I am civil, I am reasonable, I explore all options, I make careful and deliberative decisions, I listen to all sides, I have no enemies, I want what is best for the country.
After 3 months of that message being hammered home, President Trump will be difficult to portray as a crazy monster.
And it costs him nothing.
Yup, as a leader in the Navy and owning 3 small businesses, I see the same. While I was always dismayed that he is so inarticulate and would not succeed against Hillary's political acumen in debates, I should have remembered that he is a naturally born leader.
