1. Trump may be somewhat savvy, but I also suspect that

he has a good public relations firm working for him. Why: Because he lacks intelligence and imagination.

2. And he also flouts the law more than any other politician - ever.

Both in speech and actions.

3. Again, not entirely on his own initiative. Someone's giving him help.

And then he riffs on it, unsuccessfully.

4. And though he's supposed to be quoting Project 2025, he never read it, so he makes things up

5. TSF is counting on the average MAGA's 3-minute attention span.

He gets irritated and mad when the rest of us remember and analyze.

6. He always reminds me of a 5th grader giving a book report on a book he never read.

[Lucky Luciano]

8. Any politician has significant PR efforts.

Fuckface is like Kaiser Söze though….he is just willing to do what others will not and he presses the evil button far past anyone else in America.

7. The only reason he dominates the media is because they let him.

Actually they appear to be working pretty hard to make sure it happens.

9. That was depressing
