The phrases Trump used to announce his endorsement are telling.
“I’ve recognized Dr. Ouncesfor a few years, as have many others, despite the fact that most effective thru his very a hit tv display,” Trump stated. “He has lived with us during the display screen and has all the time been fashionable, revered and sensible.”
At a rally in North Carolina the place, oddly, Trump mentioned his endorsement of Oz., the previous President was once much more blunt in regards to the reasoning at the back of his select.
Imagine what all Trump is pronouncing there.
1. Ounceswas once on TV ceaselessly for greater than a decade.
2. That makes him well-known
3. It additionally makes him fashionable
4. Trump likes well-known, fashionable individuals who had been on TV
That is mainly it. Trump is not endorsing Ouncesfor any explanation why rather than Oz., like Trump, is on TV. That is just right sufficient for Trump.
To needless to say good judgment it’s important to know how central a job tv performs within the existence (and political ideas and reviews) of Donald Trump.
Todd: “Who do you communicate to for army recommendation at the moment?”
Trump: “Smartly, I watch the presentations. I imply, I truly see a large number of nice, you realize, while you watch your display and the entire different presentations, and you have got the generals.”
Army recommendation from gazing the presentations!
TV then is — and all the time has been — the best way that Trump pertains to the arena. If it is on TV, it is actual to Trump. And, if it is on TV for a very long time — as he would incessantly word his display “The Apprentice” was once — then it (and the individual at the back of it) should be just right.
Additionally, by no means overlook this: For Trump, the basic calculation is not just right or unhealthy in any judgment of right and wrong. There is not any a part of his calculation to endorse Ouncesthat handled whether or not the TV physician would in truth make a just right senator.
No, for Trump the arena is divided between those that can do issues for him and people who cannot. Oz., as a result of he was once on TV, can win — and by means of successful that makes Donald Trump glance just right. So, voila, Trump endorses Oz..
That is it. That is the most effective calculation.
