In a particularly notable moment, the president said that “some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have.” At another point, he added that “we agree on a lot more than I would have thought. I want him to do a great job, and we’ll help him do a great job.”
Maybe when younger he played it. I think at this point it’s on autopilot from what he used to understand (some things you don’t forget after doing it for so long), and it’s driven mainly by ego. Which those in power understand how to use by inflating and feeding to get what THEY want.
Oh yeah it’s all reptile brain for Trump
Younger or not, there are vanishingly few politicians who would have the presence of instinct to turn getting shot at into a campaign-winning photo within minutes.
