Trump is crafty. Where he is serious, he is deadly. Where he is frivolous and calls names and carries on is when he is on the porch with the people, at his stump speeches, talking turkey. People get him. He is them.
There truly is a place for both and he does know how to thread the needle.
Like you, I happen to like his fireside chat side when he reveals his razor sharp intelligence and I think, phenominal basic instinct. It’s a trip through gifted thinking. But, I’m biased and really love his serious side.
He is a force of nature.
Great post!
