THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

His tweets are stupid.
But effective.

And he’s leveraged his message past the hostile gatekeepers in the MSM and connected with Americans directly. Meaning his tweets have effectively undercut one of the most powerful industries in our nation and stripped them of their monopoly on the American narrative. They never saw it coming. They have no response.

That’s not stupid.
That’s good instincts and impeccable timing.

The content of the tweets is rather irrelevant when examining the brilliance of leveraging Twitter to undercut a hostile media. It’s like complaining that McArthur didn’t land at Inchon with tier 1 military troops. The brilliance was in the tactic, not the payload.

Kath refuses to admit that his tweeting is effective, she wants to believe that because she thinks his tweets are stupid that it must be political malpractice to keep tweeting, but she's just projecting on the electorate, she thinks voters are smart or some shit, it's pretty funny.

We've been so conditioned to proper communication out of Government Officials that frankly very few of us pay attention to what the hell is said. Trump is using Tweets to go directly to the people, to bypass a corrupt media that wants him to fail. Most effective use of new communication tools since FDRs Fireside Chats. .............................. that's smart.

Solid leaders do not have temper tantrums when people pick on them. Leaders don't have to threaten.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you’ve never had to serve in any kind of serious leadership role.

Because Steve Jobs says you’re full of shit.

Basically. Leadership doesn't need to threaten, lulz, it's their bread and butter.

Funny how only the Trump haters fail to see the obvious. They still think his tweets hurt him, but that is wishful thinking on their parts.

The haters need to stop projecting their views on everyone else, but they think everyone else thinks like they do, so they can't help themselves.

All the 'Smart' people said Hillary was going to win the election
Why all the 'Smart' people said it wouldn't be close.
How Trump won the election with less money, less staff and no experience
The 'Smart' people told us the economy was going to immediately crash if Trump was elected
The 'Smart' people laughed at Trump when Trump said he was spied on

Who are the smart people, Carlus? The people at CNN who read the DNC talking points memo and talk about that for 24 hours until the next memo comes out?

Cappy says that the president's striving to keep his base dumb is brilliant strategy. Not sure how that's any different from any other politician. Does that make all previous presidents since Reagan brilliant? Or just the republicans?

Oh, did I say that? Please quote me saying that. I posted a moronic tweet from a moron. I didn't say it would hurt him. Go look. I'll wait.

The main thing is they have to believe Trump is stupid, that bad stupid people put him in office and that Trump cheated the system with Russia.

Because if they have to face reality that Academia, the Press and Government are merely mediocre to poor their entire value system crashes.

Leadership is asking nicely and speaking clearly, apparently.
Which makes Starbucks Baristas the most elite leaders in the Kath heirarchy of leadership.

I sometimes wish I could time travel and bounce some of the quotes here off historical figures. I’d take Kath’s Leadership quote and run it by Ghengis Khan, Julius Caesar, Winston Churchill, Stalin, Hannibal, George Washington, etc.

“You guys never get mad or make threats, right?”

Just the ones who were good at it. Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush come up a little lacking. Reagan, Clinton, W. Bush and Obama were pretty skilled political operators, Trump is no different. Just because he wasn't politician before he was elected doesn't mean he isn't going to act like a politician once is he is a politician, be real.

Beefing with politicians doing their job effectively, you need to pick your battles better.

Sigh. I think TDS goes both ways. The man plays brilliant 4,302,833 D chess, and I'm just too stupid to see it. LOL.

@DB, I more agree with you than not re: Trump, so back the fuck off.
