The Genius of Trump???

I stopped complaining about Donald J. Trump.  Well at least as much as I could, and I took a step back.  Then I realized...

Trump isn't as dumb as he seems, and here's why. First, there are his impromptu phone interviews.  The way he conducted them always bothered me   He always calls in.  It always freakin' annoyed me.  Why didn't he show up like everyone else?  I pictured him sitting at his desk, just calling in.  His tweets and his debate strategy annoyed me too, but it wasn't because he was winning, it just struck me funny.  But, I couldn't figure out why.  Then, there are his Political Rallies and the divisiveness.   It never made any sense, and then it came to me... Trump is running his campaign like a business.  And he communicates, debates and competes in the same manner.  He is hard to debate because he approaches the podium like he already has the job.  Or, at least one like it. His opponents are trying to get to his status.  Also, in the debates, he approaches the podium like everyone else is beneath him.  Because to him, running a company is like being President of the United States and he has been doing that for years.  Knowing Trump, he has been running our country in his mind for a long time.  The funny part is, people believe him, even though it isn't true.  His company and brand are successful, but running his type company is not the same as running GE or General Motors.   He is a Real Estate Magnate.  He has mostly negotiated deals related to property, not people.   Even his international experience is has been mostly related to Real Estate.  And it shows, especially when it comes to diplomacy.  He doesn't understand what it is.  He views lack of diplomacy as not having political correct skills, but it is closer to lack of people skills.

Trump's campaign and debate strategy was brilliant.  There is an old saying, "Businessmen have no stomach for politics."  I did not expect Trump to be this successful.  I thought that Jeb Bush and the other Republicans were going to chew him up and spit him out.   And, Trump would not have been able to beat the other Republicans playing the political game.  So, Trump changed the game to something he knew, and no one else knew his rules or his court.  Therefore, he had home court advantage at each debate.  He did have trouble keeping that advantage with Fox News.  And since he couldn't control them, he refused to attend.  He also did the same thing with the call in interviews and the Tweets.  By calling in, he controlled the conversation and he dictated the rules.  He was and is almost always in control.  This is why he is winning.  This is another business tactic.

Then, there's the divisiveness.... Well, many companies have used that to get the best out of their employees.  Companies like IBM used to pit departments/teams against each other and it worked well until it didn't.  Theoretically, you could use a race as department/teams.  The only difference is that you are using a business tactic to create a dangerous social experiment.  And it is an experiment that can ignite and turn into something very dangerous not only in the White House but it could affect our national and international policy.

There is one other thing about Trump that he knows makes him appealing to a good portion of the United States.  He looks like many of his constituents.  Yes, I am saying he is White, not just the complexion, but good ole' White Anglo Saxon Protestant.  And, some are voting for him for that reason alone.  He can do no wrong, because he looks like us.

And, there you have it, the success of Trump in a nutshell. It is based on changing the political game to suit him and genetics. 

God help us all.
