If Trump is going to win and be an effectove President he needs to learn form the past and mature .

His snarky nicknames and taunts are getting old and they are not as effective as they once were and. becoming a net negative for him.

Many voters have developed a visceral hatred for the man and his taunts are beginning to make him look juvenile and toxic.

Yeah, I know all about Saul Alinsky and his schtick works and Trump has mastered Rule 3 “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”, Rule 5 “Ridicule is man's most potent weapon” and Rule 6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

However, Trump is in the process of being taken down by Rule 7 “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

Trumps ridicule strategy is becoming stale, counter productive and inflammatory to a large segment of the electorate.

It worked like a charm in the beginning because He nailed Rule 3 - his opponents were blindsided and did not know how to deal with his strategy and were clueless how to respond effectively. They are learning how to beat Trump at his own game, even if it took them close to 8 years.

Trump needs to come up with a fresh, more subtle and clever new way to ridicule his opponents (most of whom desperately need to be ridiculed)

Many of his supporters don't realize that he is falling into a dangerous trap of his own making because of Rule 6 - they really enjoy seeing Trump stick it to those that so richly deserve ridicule and it blinds them to how corrosive and passe his approach is becoming and the fact that it is beginning to annoy and alienate even some of his most staunch supporters (including me)

Trump needs to grow in office and change with the times. Our country is facing one of the most dire crisis in it's history and Trump needs to focus on solutions. He needs to work on healing the hatred and anger of many Americans to bring people together and forge a consensus on the direction of our nation.

Remember, MAGA means Make America Great Again and Trumps divisive style has made many hate and oppose the message of MAGA simply because they hate and oppose the messenger

Trump's heart is in the right place but his style and tone are becoming a drag that has dragged on too long.

What “divisive style”? If not for the fraud (hope you’re not a fraud denier), he would have been in office now; the alleged “divisive style” did not put off 74 million real voters.

Actions speak louder than words. And the pain usurper Brandon’s inflicting is going to make people remember what Trump’s term in office was like.

Needs to change his game like the greats did.

If not, we are looking at a political version of Mike Ditka as a coach or Wendel Clark of the Maple Leafs- Great in their day, but did not adequately adapt to changing game and could not perform at elite level

Need to transition from Art of the Deal to “Negotiation as a Martial Art-”
