In reply to the discussion: He doesnt like this sh*t: Trump reportedly hates his job and his staff after less than a month [View all]Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)I've been a speaker at Chamber of Commerce meetings, Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, you name it.
I have the ability to stand in front of a crowd, read the room, know what they like, what they don't like, I do not manipulate the room. But I also steer clear of what I know won't play well, and I only make promises I know I can deliver.
I have had much success with this. Some of my best clients were the result of individuals walking up to me after my talk and asking me to take a look at their existing Website, or build a new one.
Problem is that Trump did those rallies, primarily to receive instant gratification and adulation, and became addicted to that. Once he stepped into the machine, everything changed, and his staffers are undermining him with leaks, because they know they are working for a prick, and after over 35 years in the private sector before starting my own business, it is a guarantee that employees will screw over a boss they don't like at every available opportunity, and they do this with stealth, and they are never caught, because the are of "one mind," and often smarter than the boss who thinks he is in control of it all.
He deserves 100% of what he is feeling because he is the creator of it all. If he didn't know shit and treated his staffers with respect, they would cover for him. But career politicians, especially Republicans, see their own futures on the line as well. That's why people like Priebus and Ryan are so non-committal when asked about Trump's remarks. They know they can't screw him publicly, so they simply let him hang himself with his own rope.
