Everything Donald Trump is doing and will do makes perfect and sudden sense if you understand one simple fact: For him, it’s all a show.He views the White House as a sound stage, like the set made to look like a boardroom where he performed for NBC on The Apprentice. He sees the people around him as...
It's not him .... it's the establishment of politicians, funders, supporters, wealthy elites and managers who all want this to happen. They want Trump up there to destroy everything for their own agenda.
50 years from now everyone will blame Trump the man for everything ... it wasn't him, it isn't him ... it's all the people and power brokers that brought him up and are keeping him in place.
He's a stupid mob boss. He threatens and abuses people to get what he wants. "It would be a shame if I imposed 145% tariffs on you, I guess I'll do that since you're not calling me."
It succeeded because Donald had no control over it; he just showed up and did what the show’s writers and Burnett told him to do.
Everyone always says that he was unpredictable and they had to cut and edit around what he said to make the thing make sense. Which is it? I'm more inclined to believe he was unpredictable, so I stopped reading when I got to this.
