only the superior man embraces chaos, embraces change, tears up the rule book .
The problem with that way of thinking is that firstly he alone can't do that under the Republican Control we see today, and secondly, you want an ethical man of good principles to be tearing up the rule book and writing a new one. Even that isn't enough, but it shouldn't even be considered unless they meet that criteria.
And Trump doesn't not by a mile.
He'll do what he's always done and make the rules to suit himself, only this time rather than being a bully willing to silence critics through lawsuits, twitter attacks and continually lying by painting a false narrative until he gets his way, he is actually in a position of power to make the changes.
Sure he's still lying, tweeting and painting a false narratives, but that doesn't change the big shift in the power dynamic. If he was capable of such change are we being told he is, surely he'd change his ways now that he holds all the cards?
And given that his actions in his transition to politics haven't shown in any way that he's changed his spots nor moving into team "contribution", we can only take his word for it.
And for years, only strengthened by his campaign and few weeks in office, his word alone means nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
His motive and what's in it for him is the only sign of how likely he is to follow through with any given claim and even then the end goal is all that matters. He may claim he'll follow all environmental guidelines in building say a Golf Course. At the end of the day, he brings in his own environmental advisors and follows their guidelines, builds the course and that's that. End result sure, but how he got there was nothing like his claims.
He just tells people what he thinks they want to here and for all his "Crooked Hillary" he can't help by lie when he does it, then double down when confronted with the proof of it. It's still happening today.
All of that said, I do want him to succeed. I would like him to "MAGA", but to that I'd also like to know what he means by that.
It's a great slogan but without goal posts it means nothing, just like his word.
Yes it would be nice for the forgotten people to have a voice and that going a step further and being more than talk and have some real action in improving the outcomes of all Americans, but again, the question is "how"?
But before you can get to "how" we need to know what his vision is, where he sees the goal posts. I understand from a businessman point of view you'd want to hold some things close to your chest lest they be stolen the cheap knock offs beating you to market, but from the point of view of running the country, it just comes off as there being no plan and the man and his team have no direction and are hopelessly out of their depth.
These are why some of these questions that they've unable to answer are so important.
Haters will always find a way to hate, but he and his supporters need to be able to identify and separate the attempts to undermine him from those at wanting to know what is happening so they can even form an opinion of him.
And they should help people with that. The objective opinion anyone can form of him is that he is a thin skinned man baby who only cares about himself and will exploit the people like he has always done throughout his life to achieve his end. The problem is, his end was to become President, not do anything
as president.
He may be better than some of the existing politicians, especially if you take his character assessment of them vs his inflated self image, but that simply isn't enough. He needs to prove himself, not simply claim to be better than everyone else, just as they would have had to do the same if they occupied the Oval Office.
So far, he's played things far too close to his chest and revealing such little detail it comes of as utter incompetence and at best, faking it until he makes it.
That's not good enough from the highest office in the free world.
