Now one can see
why any exposure to the rally speeches of Trump, however fleeting, could risk
some violent reaction, or even some dangers of exploding heads, emanating from
those who loathe Trump.
HeHeHe.
He is such a
quintessential showman, of no equal or comparable parallel in current history
of US politics. A very unorthodox
campaigner, dispossessed of all the polite nuances of seasoned politicians of
the past and maybe, the present. But then again Trump is so out of the mainstream,
he has submerged himself so under the radar in what he does to promote himself
and castigate his detractors.
His style
definitely is one of a kind. But is it
all ideal, proper, and presidential? The
ensuring debate could result in very vigorous bones of contention that would
see no end or resolution. Just more
irate detractors and acrimony against Trump.
Maybe even more noted converts from the fence to the side against
Trump. But Trump may believe that his
committed base of support is among the countless and nameless multitude and
forgotten masses of middle America, the thousands who attend his rallies and
the millions who subscribe to his tweets.
So does Trump care
much about all this? The only thing
certain is that he will continue his volleys of tweets and the theatrical tenor
of his rally speeches. Do they border on
histrionics? His detractors no doubt
will readily nod in assent. But I do
believe that Trump is convinced that given the historic adversarial realities
against him these are the ready options he can count on to try and level the
playing field.
For this rally, I
probably have gone through with about 20 minutes of playing time, but I promise
to get to the whole thing, even if I have to scan view the whole piece.
Personally, I do
not invest too much mind on the words of Trump.
Thus, in this regard I have rudimentary and shallow expectations from
him. But his actions and their results I do monitory closely, and so far he has
not disappointed me. By most traditional
standards he has exceeded the high expectations of many honest and unbiased
observers.
Thus, all things
being equal, his actions ought to carry more weight in any decision-making the
US electorate has to make in the coming election. Thus, I feel the seeming absurdity of his
detractors parsing his every statement looking for any “gotcha” angle. They will and are uncovering many. But how
much do they count, or do damage to a ship already full of holes, however unfairly
inflicted, but still chugging along merrily?
Lastly, given the
steely constitution and energetic passion that Trump has shown all this time,
amidst “all the slings and arrows” thrown at him, I do believe he can weather
through all this and mentally prepare himself for the ensuing bloody battle in
his reelection bid.
The reelection
could be as much a surprise as the first one.
