Trump Reveals The Secret Behind His Success | Zero Hedge
One of the recurring complaints about Donald Trump, if mostly emanating from those whom he is defeating on the campaign trail, is that the Republican presidential front-runner should act more “presidential.” Then, just a few days ago, the WaPo’s Chris Cillizza – one of Trump’s biggest media adversaries who has predicted Trump’s political demise countless times so far – wrote that Trump 2.0 is being unveiled.
It appears the WaPo will be wrong again, because on Saturday while speaking during a campaign speech in Waterbury, CT, Trump revealed the secret behind his success which he said comes from not acting “presidential” and lashed out at the idea that he should be more “presidential”, i.e. appeasing his critics, saying he’s done so well because he’s not acting like other politicians.
During his rally, Trump said he has been trying to follow the advice of family members and aides who told him to be more presidential, but now, “people are starting to say, ‘wait a minute, look what got you here.’”
Trump compared his situation to a baseball player of golfer who succeeds with an unorthodox approach, and then is suddenly told to ‘change your swing.’ “And you never hear from them again, that’s the last time, right?”
And sure enough, as AP adds, Trump made it clear to his supporters that he’s not changing his pitch to voters, a day after his chief adviser assured Republican officials their party’s front-runner would show more restraint while campaigning.
Trump joked about how it’s easy to be presidential, making a series of faux somber faces. But he said told the crowd he can be serious and policy-minded when he has to be.
Manafort “said, ‘you know, Donald can be different when he’s in a room.’ Who isn’t,” asked Trump. “When I’m out here talking to you people, I’ve got to be different.” Trump had drawn attention in recent weeks for softened rhetoric, with some attributing his change of tone to newly-arrived campaign leader Paul Manafort.
“You know, being presidential’s easy — much easier than what I have to do,” he told thousands at a rally in Bridgeport, Connecticut. “Here, I have to rant and rave. I have to keep you people going. Otherwise you’re going to fall asleep on me, right?”
Well, he is right: his job during campaign rallies is to entertain, and he certainly has done a better job of it than any of his competitors.
Trump declared to the crowd that he has no intention of reversing any of his controversial policy plans, including building a wall along the length of the Southern border.
“Everything I say I’m going to do, folks, I’ll do,” he said.
That remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: whatever Trump has been doing in the past three weeks has worked, and as PredicIt shows, the odds of a brokered convention have crashed from the early April highs of nearly 80% to just 30%, and approaching the all time lows…
