No one is making the argument that he's the best president ever, or even a good one. The point is that he became the President of the USA - he played the game

No one is making the argument that he's the best president ever, or even a good one. The point is that he became the President of the USA - he played the game very very well.
It becomes more apparent when you see his videos on the subject from the 1980s - he was planning this move for decades.
- ojnabieoot 6y agoA huge part of the problem with Donald Trump is how many Americans have decided that he’s good at “playing the game” of winning is elections. But the 2016 presidential election was flagrantly stolen, and the entire national GOP was complicit. Even if you’re not willing to admit it was stolen it obviously had huge legitimacy problems because Trump significantly lost the popular vote. But instead of facing this reality of democratic backsliding, people who otherwise know better have decided that the wily salesman Donald Trump once again pulled a fast one on us. (c.f. Bill Gates being seen as a tech genius rather than the reality that he’s just a vicious thug)
- ggm 6y agoperhaps the point I missed, is that because he is so visibly un-sellable, yet successfully sold himself, he wins, because Blair and Obama had underlying competencies. Trump is the best salesman, because he is selling.. nothing. And its being bought.
