I have seen clips from speeches on Fox News. Just can't listen to a whole speech.vnatale wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 6:10 pmThose describe all other presidential speeches. But NOT Trump's. He is extreme entertainment! Why else would someone like me, who'd never vote for him under any conditions, listen to his "speech" (plus all that surrounded it) three times in one day? Entertaining!pp4me wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 5:53 pm I was feeling a little depressed lately by the polls showing Biden way ahead but after listening to this interview I'm feeling more encouraged. If there are head to head debates in the fall (which there might not be), I don't see how Trump won't end up eating Biden's lunch.
For the record I have never listened to any speech that Donald Trump has ever given for the same reason I haven't listened to any presidential speech since maybe once or twice in the Reagan years - lots of noise and platitudes but zero useful information. Whenever I see Trump sit down for a one-on-one interview however, I'm amazed to see that he is much more of a thoughtful person than he is portrayed in the media.
So does Trump have narcissistic personality traits? For sure. So does Putin, Xi, Erdogan and any other leaders he mentioned here which I may have forgotten.

On election night when he gave his acceptance speech around 4 AM, though I was definitely not happy he'd won, nothing he said got me upset in the least. I told my friend, "This is going to be interesting." But following him was one of those typical Republicans who spouted the typical Republican line which succeeded in getting me all wound up and upset. But not at Trump. At that Republican.

Sometimes I think he would make a good stand up comedian. He cracks me up all the time but a lot of people don't appreciate the humor.
