The whole Trump campaign spectacle is such a drunken, insane circus that we’ve all become inured to new revelations and gaffes that, individually, would have sunk almost any prior candidate. The accusations and revelations, very few of which seem to be invented, inflated or taken out of context, are past shocking and into numbing.
So Let’s Play…
**Good Qualities, Abilities and Accomplishments of Donald J. Trump.
**(I’d start with an example, but I can’t think of one.)
He is an excellent self-promoter. He represents a life-style to which many aspire to. In his way, he is successful at business - he uses other people’s money to generate a stream of personal cash flow that is quite envious*. He has become an election away from joining a exclusive club of 45 people, some of whom represent the titanic figures in our nation’s history.
*You wanted the positive take, so no qualifiers… though I SO wanted to add a few.
He does an adequate job of converting atmospheric oxygen and processed nutrients into energy sufficient for the biological requirements of a roughly 100 kg mammalian biped.
He provides the short-fingered vulgarians of the world with a role model
He shows America is still a land of opportunity where anyone can run for President, regardless of qualifications
He was ranked #1 in the ‘SPY 100’ – more than once!*
(*It sounds positive as long as you don’t mention that it was SPY magazine’s annual ranking of the “100 most annoying, appalling and alarming” people and things of the year.)
