But after I think up something that I think is worth sharing, I often talk about it.  And then after I told a few people I don&#8217;t think it is worth writing about anymore.  But I have to get over that &#8211; talking about ideas is just step one, not the only step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So who is &#8220;him&#8221;? Trump.  I am interested in politics and community dynamics and globalism &#8211; all that stuff.  And I also am extremely empathetic and spend a lot time trying to understand different points of view.  So how does Trump work? Why is he successful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can&#8217;t listen to him talk at all.  The words that come out of his mouth are&#8230; I can&#8217;t even describe it.  But I have never for a moment thought he is stupid &#8211; just a really bad public speaker.  And more recently, I have realized he is speaking to one audience (the far right) but what he actually implements don&#8217;t line up with his words at all.  Listening to his words indicate one thing, but his actual results are completely different &#8211; and really quite reasonable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I hate to admit it &#8211; but media just eats it all up.  They repeat and publicize his verbal diarrhea everyday &#8211; but his actual intentions and results, nowhere to be seen.  I am no Trump fan, and while I lean towards conservative fiscal policies &#8211; I abhor the social policies of the right.  But I am interested in the actual information of the policies of the current ruling party in USA &#8211; and the only place I can get that information is on conservative news sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I literally don&#8217;t believe or listen to a single speech clip or news headline &#8211; not even for a minute.  I don&#8217;t click on the New York Times headlines about his latest Covid claim, I don&#8217;t get fired up about a rant on deploying troops on the Canadian border, I don&#8217;t even get angry when he calls someone else a nasty name.  He&#8217;s baiting the media and it works &#8211; every, single, time.  If I think a topic is interesting &#8211; I will look it up on a conservative news website to see what it&#8217;s actual implementation goals are (my favorite is www.nationalreview.com).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I also think Trump will win the next election.   He knows how to talk to his far-right supporters (who also have no clue what he actually implements) and he implements policies that are actually closer to center and make a lot of people happy.  Business owners and fiscally conservative voters close their ears to his speeches and focus on execution.  As long we continue to focus on the soundbites &#8211; we feed into Trump&#8217;s strategy perfectly and help turn media coverage of the current President into a one giant tabloid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"post_118\"  data-site_id=\"61325e13943ec9b56593e4e8\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/kuromi.ca\/september\/?p=118\"  data-item_title=\"I Figured him Out\"  data-item_date=\"2020-05-29T11:05:00+00:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.60\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/kuromi.ca\/september\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to write more, and I often jot down idea for blog posts.
