the only surprise is the continued shock from people that he isn't acting fake af like we've grown accustomed to our politicians doing... he will never act "presidential"... he will never stop poking fun at those he disagrees with... he will never stop trolling... i understand you'll never like it, but you gotta stop biting...
as a fisherman I can tell you, when the bite is consistent, you don't move to a different spot...
way off.
I loved the guy for decades...not in a way respecting his unsavory, unethical actions like his business M.O. of not paying bills, not honoring contracts, but rather the way one loves a con man. The fact that he conned the TV viewing public years later (before politics) into believing he was really a self made billionaire was one of the great second act scams of all time.
I was in an industry that had more than it's share of con men in it, and there was something about them that made people love to listen to them. Some listeners found the preposterous stories of self inflation entertaining, but sadly many were drawn in and bought in...several even to the point of literally losing their houses.
They hunted their prey, searching for people that "haven't heard The Story". Once in the home pitching the incredible exclusive deal, if the prospect seemed to believe The Story, The Story would get even bigger and more incredible and the price would go up astronomically.
That's the real Art of the Deal.
those being fooled are those refusing to believe they've been conned, those that continue to believe The Story.
