Why can’t Trump just stick to talking policy?

I liked his policies. The world was safer. The economy was stronger. The border was becoming less porous.

It’s the one thing that even a few people with TDS will sometimes concede, to at least some degree.

But he keeps up with the childish social media stuff and loyalty litmus tests.

Why on Earth can he not stick to the messaging that “still available” voters will buy into?

Because he’s lived his life surrounded by “yes men” and weak minded and untalented supporters.

He doesn’t know when to STFU.

He has zero game. It’s all childish antics and playground bully shite.

And sadly, many here absolutely adore him for it. These people have to be pro wrestling fans.

But most sadly is the fact that with just an ounce of fricking maturity he could have radically and fundamentally changed the direction of our nation. Instead he wanted to show DC how the art of the deal is done.

Because his base loves it. And there’s nothing Trump loves more than affirmation.

He has to get the fricking word out because the god damn media will not cover him unless it is negative made up bull shite and he has to expose his competitors because the media won’t and the very little things he does has to be shock value to keep his name in the headlines

It’s not fricking rocket science dude. It’s called MARKETING.

if he talked about boring policy 100% of the time nobody would care or listen to what he has to say because this country is filled with dumb fricking morons

Policy doesn’t move the needle for Trump’s core

You are a fricking idiot if you don’t see that 90% of trump on mainstream media is negative negative negative.

If you know anything about marketing (which is clear that you don’t) you will see a trend on how trump does things

He does a shock value type post or statement.. gets all of the mainstream media who hates him and hates US - gets everybody’s attention, then he exposes a bombshell truth bomb.

He’s done it since 2016 and people are too fricking dumb to realize this is how he has always done things and it’s very effective and it works. If you don’t believe me, look at Ron DeSantis and others.

His policy isn’t going to really do much with mainstream conservatives. Spending tons of money, refusing to talk about entitlements, not doing anything about the administrative state last time, etc isn’t going to be a winner against other primary participants

There isn’t a pol alive that only talks “policy”.

Have you watched either of the JV Republican debates?

This is a straw man post so the TDS addled can jerk off and upvote about their self invented suburban superiority.

It’s not that he messages, it’s what and how. It alienates swing voters and it galvanizes the people already voting against him.

This is the thing that drives me nuts about people. He is NOT campaigning against Biden right now. He is campaigning against DeSantis, Niki Haley, and whoever the frick else is in this race.

Biden is not on Trump’s radar right now. Right now he is trying to knock out the other Republicans running against him.

Again, people are too fricking stupid and dumb to understand marketing. He’s not going toe to toe with Biden until he wins the nomination. After he wins the nomination, then he switches focus on Biden.

I don’t understand why it is so hard for people to understand this.

It doesn’t alienate shite right now. He’s 60 fricking points up on the person who is in 2nd place lol

The goal for him right now is to win the nomination which is exactly what he is doing lol crazy how people don’t understand this.

He’s trying to get these fricking scrubs to drop out because the faster he gets them out of the way, the faster he can start unleashing his wrath on the current administration

Do you think his toddler ramblings are invisible to the rest of the nation because it’s a primary? You think he’s prepping for some “bombshell truth” by whining about people who weren’t loyal? What’s the last bombshell he revealed and what were the tweets leading up to it?
