Trump had the deal of a lifetime sitting in his lap. The Manhattan West Side Yards deal in the 80’s. A mammoth tax abatement funded project that would have created Television City and forever changed the NYC skyline. Trump would have a crowning achievement to show that the kid from Queens had CONQUERED the Manhattan real estate crowd. All he had to do was appease different stake holders (including Mayor Koch). Give a bit here and there but keep his eye on the prize, the big picture. Literally just sit in meetings and public hearings and nod, say a few nice words, connect on basic human levels. He just couldn’t do it.
Fast forward to now.
All Trump has had to do from even after he ignored the virus, ignored the Obama devised playbook, mocked, scorned, and thought he was “punching down” on the Libs and media was to show some compassion. Some empathy. 1 minute of each segment of the late afternoon blunderstorms to connect on a human level. People would have rallied around him at least more if not washing away 20-30% of the fumes from the dumpster fire. He just couldn’t do it.
