You talk of management style not being acceptable. To who? He's president. He reports to no one except the people. He demands loyalty and excellence. If you fail at either, you're out. No second chances. No getting a break for past performance or being nice to his kids. That's how he operates. It's his way or the highway. If they don't like it, they shouldn't take the job. If they haven't figured that out yet, than their not smart enough to work for him.
Only his enemies care who he hires and who he fires and how he runs the office. All the public cares about are results. The public sees a president every day on stage who is in command. He's sticking his neck out being up there. No one else will get the credit or the blame if he fails. He knows that. That's why he's taking charge so publicly. For the election. If he succeeds, he'll be re-elected. If he fails, he won't be. It's that simple. The rest is conversation.
I can understand some guys' affection for Trump; we saw the same thing with Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Stalin, etc., millions of devoted followers, along with millions of dead, so Trumpism is not exactly new on the world stage. We just have to hope that we only wind up with 240,000 dead, because of his shortcomings, instead of millions. But, as most people here know by now, he's not my favorite guy. At least he did one fine thing, when he appointed his son-in-law, Jared Kuchner, as Virus Czar. Some people criticized JK after he nearly bankrupted his own family company by buying one of the most expensive towers in Manhattan for $1.8 billion (a record at the time) at the very, very peak, the pinnacle, the apex of the housing market there, a year before the entire real estate market went in the dumper. A week after he bought it, it was worth about a third less. But hey, that was a learning experience, obviously put to use in his cultivation of a close and essential friendship with MBS, the Saudi prince, which really saved our bacon when the Saudis and the the Russians decided to get rid of the American fracking industry. And I'm certainly happy that his much ballyhooed negotiation to arrange peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis worked out as well as it did. I'm a little less certain when he said that that New York didn't need all those ventilators, because he'd done some calculations that proved they didn't. He got this extensive business and governmental insight at Harvard, where he spend four years after his father, the billionaire, donated a couple million bucks to the place, which I'm sure had nothing to do with the admission of a guy who barely made it through high school.
So I think we're actually looking pretty good, here.
