I think alot of them where fooled by his reality tv show it made him look like a good business man but in real reality he's a snake oil salesman that was only rich because of Daddy's money. I wish people educated themselves back in 2015 when he was running.
I don't get it. Trump is very obviously superficial but apparently NOT obviously superficial as many believe him and buy full tilt into his narrative. I don't know how someone could not recognize that he is a PR showman at heart. His profession is selling image. His $70,000 combover, his gold toilets and garish and tacky decorum, that constant fake golden shit-eating grin smile, the constant braggadocio and self-aggrandizement, the trophy wife who despises him.
But it apparently is profitable, as he's managed to pull the wool over so many eyes for so long. If there's any credit I'll lay at his feet, that would be it. Gullibility is very lucrative. But I think the presidency is finally revealing him for the fraud and failure he truly is, and always has been.
I agree Trump is a showman, he for sure is big on branding himself. Stepping into the spotlight to gain attention. I think most people realize things like the apprentice and appearing on WWE wrestling matches is apart of that.
He names his own tower after himself. He puts his name on almost everything he invests in. Part of sales is being a showman for sure. You need to impress and also sound confident, that's half the battle in sales, if not most of it. You ever heard the term fake it till you make it?
Trump gave up a lot of money to become president. I think this is something a lot of the people on the left miss. Trump would be more wealthy if he had never ran for president. In the past the opposite has been true, politicians usually run for office and then use that political power to THEN enrich themselves.

I feel this phrase here falls more in line with the Romney and Biden types more than it does Trump. The establishment politicians who lie to the American people and never deliver on promises, but instead enrich themselves. I agree that "gullibility is very lucrative". Just maybe not in the way you see it here. You see it with most politicians.
I've seen many on the left use the phrase, "Trump isn't the disease, he a symptom" I'm guessing that the disease in this phrase is the establishment, the system itself, which set people off to then vote for someone like Trump correct?
In my Eyes both Romney and Biden are great examples of this disease, cant stand either one of them.
To me, even though they are in opposite parties, they might as well be the same person.
