6:05am, in HK office, at diligence, and the working year starts in earnest
Next respite in April, or starts at lunch time this day
As to <<was it you who mentioned that Trump tends to make decisions based on the last person he listens>>
... may have posted an article that mentions the point; certainly does not surprise.
otoh, one could say that the real trump should shine through even more obviously than already, in good and short time, that he bullies, lies, grabs, breaks things, reneges on words, handshake no-good, makes plenty of wrong decisions and doubles down, plows through, doesn't give an eff, etc etc, and is volatile, and surrounded by negligence incompetents, or otherwise plain bad actors
and that he would not mess up only if by accident or luck, is guaranteed to fail unless has definitive sub-group of actually wise advisors whom he listens to and obeys >75% of the time - am unaware of such advisor. the truth that he is potus speaks to the factual state of his electorates, competition, and detractors, only.
otoh one might say, trump shall break that which must be broken, and that in itself by itself is a good and necessary pre-condition to genuine change.
watch & brief, who can know? certainly not the ones who did not see trump coming.
some of trump-ism is actually refreshingly commendable, and okay by my book. some of it is just balderdash. so thaen it shall all come down to what the man actually manages to accomplish.
he is entertaining, a good thing, everything else being equal.
mentioned before, that he reminds me of some i had worked w/ in the past, and the mindset to be entertained is very important
my neighbour friend had at one point advised trump during one of his bankruptcy workings, and adds that the guy does not do his own reading
if so, then america has put in place an agent of change who is putting in place minions of change
good or bad is unknown, but change for sure, lasting or not |
