When it comes to this person, and this "movement" we make the mistake of including complexity and nuance to our observations. We look at a bigger picture, because we know that life is complicated. But the care and feeding of Trumpism boils down to one thing:And Don Trump, seemingly, is notably lacking in his ability or willingness to listen to experienced advice. Maybe multiple bankruptcies, failed businesses, destroyed marriages......well, maybe those are clues to his effectiveness in 'thinking for himself'?
Trump knew going into this that all he needed to do was attach himself to the talk radio audience. Tap into their rage and paranoia and frustrations. Enflame it constantly and without remorse.
So things like daily intelligence briefings and appreciation of international affairs and thinking for himself are simply unnecessary. From Escalator Day forward, he has done one (1) thing and one thing alone: Engage and communicate directly to that specific audience. Non-stop, 24/7/365.
I'll give him this: He understands the power of target marketing. This country has never seen this before, and maybe the world hasn't either.
