Having the capacity to separate want I want to be true, or what I hope is true- from rational analysis. I like all humans, am not perfect at it, but I’ve learned how important it is in life’s dealings with people and situations.
I’ve never hated or loved DJT.
He’s a flawed man but a man with some tremendous strengths as well. Go study the most impactful world leaders. You will find this is consistent. Even Hitler, as evil and twisted as he was, was a very strong leader and a powerful, very influential speaker. Churchill was another very strong leader with flaws.
Trump is an enigmatic and polarizing personality, but he’s polarizing because of the feminization of western culture. People are too busy being offended by the way he says things to actually hear what he’s saying.
A century ago he would’ve been regarded as a man’s man and very much in the vein of Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson. TR is probably the closest presidential comparison there is.
What you miss about Trump is primarily his intellect,discipline and work ethic. He sleeps 4-5 hrs a night and can go days without sleep. He’s a master negotiator, manipulator, motivator, and understands how to play the media like a Stradivarius.
He is ALWAYS ahead of his competitors in thought process. He’s always got a plan and distracts with his rhetoric so well, many people like you, never figure it out
