Trump owned the Town Hall meeting
Trump was in brilliant form.
Can't believe 8 years from when he stormed to election, people still haven't understood the power game.
Look at this:
She:
- On the side
- Turns towards him
- Looks at him
- "Begging / please" hand gesture, as if she wants/needs something from Trump
- Power down, because she depends on him, and not getting anywhere
Trump:
- Center stage
- Fully facing the audience
- Doesn't look at her
- Doesn't turn toward her
- Open hand gestures towards the audience (he keeps his eyes on what matters)
- Power up, controlling the narrative, making her chase and react to him
And that's only a body language snapshot.
She looked too angry and biased and made Trump look superior and a better fit to lead.
Trump, again, seemed the only one with the courage and personal strength to speak the uncomfortable truth. and with the unemotional approach to be a more effective leader (ie.: the "grabbing" incident being part of human nature and power dynamics, antifa being a violent group, wanting the war to end instead of pickin a side, etc. etc.).
On the Ukrainian war:
Her: can you say if you want Russia or Ukraine to win this war (such a poor frame! Wanted to make it a tough question, passed him a soft ball to dunk)
Him: I don't think in terms of winning or losing, I want people to stop dying
Albeit it wasn't too difficult for an experienced man like Trump, it shows he still has good mental faculties to play his cards really well.
I frankly didn't think he had it in him anymore and would be washed up in terms of energy, and too bitter/combative in terms of spirit.
Instead, he did it really great.
He fucked it up during the presidency giving too much power to CNN/his opponents and picking too many fights, but he may still be able to mount a challenge for the presidency.
The opposition and their political correctness, again, may be his biggest ally.
