Honest assessment of Trump

You have to give Trump credit in a big way for his unbelievable 2016 win. With zero political experience, he correctly realized the forgotten man in America. He realized the working class had not been paid attention to by politicians for decades. Over his entire adult life, he understood the media and how to brand himself and create the Trump brand. He does have a larger than life Personna, and people are attracted to him. It’s not an accident that the apprentice was so successful. I have looked up old interviews with him going back to the 80s, and while you could see the narcissistic personality disorder traits he actually seemed very likable and even somewhat balanced. He also could make fun of himself himself pretty easily which was surprising. He was almost OK playing the role of a semi buffoon. No one can question that Trump is a master showman, and clearly has great political instincts. Those traits are excellent when campaigning. He also is a exceptional political entertainer at rallies.

However, in my opinion his lack of political experience was the start of his downfall. After he was elected he tried to appoint establishment Republicans for key positions. These people had their own agendas and we’re not loyal to him. So he eventually did not trust them, and got rid of them. Compare this to other presidents who had been in politics for years and had political allies that they understood and were very loyal to them.

So I think he became even more paranoid as his presidential term progressed. It didn’t help the media was out to get him at all cost. He just didn’t quite understand Washington, and then his narcissism took over and he surrounded himself with yes-man. He also is one of the most vindictive people in the world, and was determined to retaliate anyone who crosses him even when it wasn’t an important issue.

So in the final analysis, Trump did some good things. He was a wrecking ball going against the establishment, and long long term that’s probably a good thing. But ultimately he’s just a very flawed personality, and I’m very happy he wasn’t reelected. He at this point is a very corrupt dishonest person that cannot be trusted. He’s willing to do anything to preserve himself at the expense of the country.

So maybe it’s OK Trump was president for four years, but Thank God he wasn’t president for eight years. Maybe this will be a shock to the system that will have some positive impact long-term.
