Trump: Hazardous to Our Health
empires could crash and burn if the emphasis was on sales rather than product.
.. In “The Art of the Deal,” Trump said that playing to people’s fantasies and promising the greatest product was “an innocent form of exaggeration.”
.. Presidents have to be good salesmen. Barack Obama faltered because he hated selling and simply lectured.
.. Hillary was not good at salesmanship either.
.. her 2016 team got so flummoxed at her inability to explain why she wanted to be president that they actually considered the slogan “Because It’s Her Turn.”
.. “He’s not a student of anything other than protecting his image. What he cares about is how he’s perceived, not the nuts and bolts of things. He is essentially a performance artist.”
.. They had never pulled a real bill together because they thought Hillary would win and they could just snipe at her. The Irish undertaker and his crew were so desperate to prove they had not totally forgotten how to pass anything that they were willing to go with garbage. And Ryan wanted to save the bacon — or bratwurst — of his fellow Wisconsin buddy Reince Priebus, blamed by Trump for the first health care defeat. After that debacle, The Times reported, Trump started merging the two names into one mocking “Ryan-ce.”
.. do not seem to realize the bad optics of a viral photo of a crowd of guys applauding themselves for gutting health care protections for women.
