The Brilliance of Trump

[Ljube]

Since the moment he entered the race, Trump has demonstrated a thorough understanding of the political marketing and the political process in general. His mastery of the art of branding has been demonstrated on various occasions and not only in branding his adversaries, thus eliminating them, but branding and re-branding himself.

Now, Trump is a larger than life person with a 100% name recognition. His image is mostly negative. How then to improve in this area?

Once more Trump shows his political talent and demonstrates his brilliance to all who can see.

In order to improve, he must first destroy his image even more, preferably completely. He must fall so low, that any perceived improvement will be received with praise and accolades. What would be considered a sub-par, even terrible performance for other politicians is lauded as the most presidential appearance of Trump and proof of his abilities to run a disciplined campaign, even proof of his qualifications for the office of the president of the USA. A good example is the speech he gave in Pennsylvania today, which was below average, but for Trump's standards, the standards he himself set, is superb and judged as such by even the most hostile and Trump hating pundits.

Why was this necessary? Simply put, Trump, in his infinite wisdom and self-awareness was all too conscious of his glaring weaknesses. How else to make those same weaknesses look smaller and turn them to strengths, than to first lower the standards by which he would be judged and then improving from that low point there, but still being at the level significantly below his opponent, reap the full reward of his stratagem.

The words "brilliance" and "Trump" don't belong in the same sentence.

Simply put, Trump, in his infinite wisdom and self-awareness was all too conscious of his glaring weaknesses.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAHAA

Sorry, but, heeeeheeee.

Okay, no. The only other time I've seen or heard the words "infinite wisdom" is in church, about God himself. Just saying, Trump supporters are sounding crazier every progressing day. Let's just start a "Church of Trump" shall we?? Let's just rewrite the Bible and replace every mention of the Lord, God, and Jesus with TRUMP. Let's just hold services worshipping TRUMP every Sunday, complete with hymns and prayers about him, and sermons from Ivanka in a bikini.  It's probably what Trump wanted all along.

Every Trump supporters insistence that Trump is a genius is wrong. Trump is not going to win. He's not going to improve. The debates will kill him.

Go back to Breitbart.

Yes, I admit that "infinite wisdom" bit was over the top.

Ljube, I don't take you seriously as a poster because I think you're honestly just here to troll and amuse yourself. But, just in case you're serious about all this, you need to seek help.

The way you talk about him so superlatively suggests you think of him as something higher. Trump is not a god; he is not even brilliant. He is an opportunistic con-man that has used racism, xenophobia, and bigotry to win a nomination and further his brand.

Arch, you are not exactly his audience. You would not give Trump a chance even if he were truly divine.

But just to humor you, of course I don't think highly of Trump and I certainly don't consider him to be a higher being. I wonder how you got that from my OP.

Anyway, these are just my observations. They are pretty easy to see for anyone who is not utterly biased and has not been living his whole life in an echo chamber.

Trump is very talented, even brilliant in the field of political marketing and I expect that that will be enough for him to win the election.

Maybe when your city is bombed thanks to Trump starting WW3, you'll start singing a different tune?

So now you don't believe your crush is truly divine?

Trump is very talented, even brilliant in the field of political marketing and I expect that that will be enough for him to win the election.

The fact you even entertain the idea of him as divine is concerning. How did I get that from your OP? "Infinite wisdom," for instance, is a kind of expression used only to describe God. The fact you take it and use it to describe Trump suggests that kind of imagined relationship between you, Trump's fans, and him. Libertarian Socialist, in the post above, underscored that for you earlier.

I have not been living in an echo chamber. Actually, I was raised in a very conservative small town and in a conservative household. You know nothing about me, and to attempt to ascribe your impressions of how my life has been on me, you should at least dignify to ask before you attack that straw man.

I actually tried, at one point, to understand Trump and his positions because I'm not a huge fan of HRC myself. However, the only bias I currently demonstrate is because of objective observation and not prejudice. He is a dangerous candidate, and I will stand firmly behind that. Call it what you will.

Lastly, no, he's not talented in political marketing. He's talented in swindling and conning, which happens to translate well to certain parts of the electorate within the political process. However, that won't be enough to let him win a general election audience.

Then you are a rebel without a cause. This means there is yet chance for you to change your mind on Trump. November if far enough.

I stand corrected.

As for my expressions, I already explained I used hyperbole, which is my style.

He must have written this while, actually, having sex with Trump. There is simply no other expanation for such an obviously erotic post.

There is an old Russian saying: "Love is cruel: you might fall in love even with a goat". This post, definitely, made me think of the image.

[ProudModerate2]

Ljube, I don't take you seriously as a poster because I think you're honestly just here to troll and amuse yourself .....

Arch,
You should have stopped your initial comment, right after the very first sentence.
Because you were spot-on correct.
Ljube is just trolling AGAIN .... and I think you are correct that he gets some unusual high from it (as you put it : "amuse yourself.")

Trump has demonstrated brilliant ignorance so far.

Until this year, I would never have believed the possibility of such a narrative being true.

I really do view Trump as being a person who knows something others don't.  I don't understand why folks don't see this, given what he's done so far.  He's pulled off a hostile takeover of the GOP; how many can say this?  Bernie Sanders didn't take over the Democrats, and he was less out of line with mainstream Democrats than Trump is with the GOP Establishment and Movement Conservative.

Literally the only piece of "privileged" information Trump acted on was that the Republican base is made up of racist anti-intellectuals. Doesn't take a genius to know that. But it does take a sh-tty person to so totally tap into it.

Well, he's acted on other pieces of "privileged" information.  When booed in debate, he revealed that the crowd was packed with the donor class who supported other candidates.  He spilled the beans on a dirty little secret, and folks loved it.  And he exposed the phoniness of his enemies within the GOP.

The view from the Upper East Side of Manhattan or Martha's Vineyard is that the GOP is the party of white racist, anti-intellectuals.  The view from rural Pennsylvania and Ohio is that the Democrats are a party who view them as the cause of all social problems in America, and view their problems as unimportant, to be considered only after the problems important to feminists and the minority groups that make up the base of the Democratic Party are taken care of.  They view the Democratic Party as disrespectful of the idea of work, and they cite the pandering of SJW types who are often OK with folks who are neither lawful nor industrious.

Whether you believe this view as "racist" or something else, isn't it kind of amazing that the Democratic Party, the party of the Working Man in my youth, is now despised by working folks at a time where they are hit hardest.  The Democratic Party has ushered in the globalist disasters that have trashed our industrial job base, and we are supposed to be OK with this because now, women can get an abortion on demand and "glass ceilings" are being shattered in executive hiring.  The amazing thing about today's Democratic Party is that they really don't get it; they have sacrificed working class jobs on the alter of elitist liberal causes (liberal environmentalism, workplace feminism, Affirmative Action) and they expect the displaced workers to say to Hillary, "Thank you, ma'am, may I have another?" as their policies and rhetoric spank the folks who were once the backbone of the American nation.

@Fuzzy: I'm sorry, but the Democratic party is not solely responsible for this. There are factions in both parties against arrangements like the free trade agreements and whatnot, but BOTH parties are responsible for this. It doesn't matter if Donald Trump happens to be against it when he's completely incompetent and unqualified for the job. It is true that the problems of the working class are equally important, BUT that doesn't mean we should do the opposite and usher back the kind of discourse and cultural equivalencies that Trump is offering along with the opposition to globalist ordeals.

We need to interact with the world anyways if we want to remain a superpower, but we need to do so with good and experienced leadership with people who know what they're doing and that will provide support from Congress. We don't have such/enough candidate(s) available this cycle to do so. The first step is getting money out of politics so that such candidates can rise to power, which is where getting rid of Citizens United comes in.
