Worth reading, if you want to find out how the guy thinks. (He lives in an alternate universe.) :surprised:

 

He has made a career of convincing people that his failures were the exact opposite. Can he pull it off again?

“He’s not successful at what he claims to be successful at,†said Tim O’Brien, the author of TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald. “He is, however, arguably the most successful self-promoter in United States business and political history. And that’s a form of success.â€

 

“He knows of no other way,†former New York Daily News scribe George Rush said, “and that is to spin until he’s woven some gossamer fabric out ofâ€â€”he searched for the right word—“garbage.â€

 

Even his admirers, who dispute the notion that Trump has not accomplished important things in this first stage of his first term, grant that his ultimate success will depend in no small measure on his ability to convince people that he has succeeded. “I think by the power of persuasion he’s going to end up getting things done,†said Sam Nunberg, a political adviser early in his campaign who credits Trump with the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and a flurry of executive orders that have undone or loosened Barack Obama-implemented policies and regulations. “He certainly could sell ice to an Eskimo—and I mean that as a compliment. He’s the spinner of all spinners.â€
