Whoa now. Just because Trump is a little more vocal now, that doesn't mean that his personal stance ever changed.
Possible. But every business and politician has to pick "the thing" they're going to be known for if they're going to be successful.
It's basic business and messaging.
Footballguys is "We Help You Win At Fantasy Football".
Donald Trump in 2016 was obviously, "Make America Great Again".
Hillary Cllinton in 2016 was, "I'm with her?"
I think Donald Trump winning in 2016 was one of the most stark examples of how clear messaging can win. People don't move towards uncertainty.
It's how Bill Clinton won with "It's the Economy, Stupid".
I think where people underestimate Trump is he understands business and messaging. This to me is shaping up to be his 2024 Make America Great message is going to be something about how "I Saved The World and I'll do it again".
I know people are laughing this off. Or nitpicking about when he started thinking this way.
I don't think that matters.
What matters is Donald Trump has finally realized he's got a gold mine to run on in 2024.
