Discussion: Trump Reportedly Unhappy With Top Aide's Advice To Be More 'Presidential'

ā€œThese consultants are used to being smarter than their candidate and in this scenario, the candidate is smarter and willing to risk more than you are.ā€ (Anonymous Somebody)

OMG, this made me laugh out loud. Ten to one, the anonymous source was one Trump’s kids.

I’ll grant them willing to risk more. However, unless the consultant is literally a bag of particularly challenged rocks, I’m not so sure about the other assertion.

To be fair, Trump’s vision of being ā€œso presidentialā€ probably involves re-defining how a president is supposed to act.

He is Trump! Trump cannot be managed, cannot be molded, cannot be improved. He will die as he lived–incorrect politically and in every other way!

Biff doesn’t want to act or be ā€œpresidentialā€ why he’s the life of t party. He enjoys being the town bully in front his misfits.
Can’t wait until he is washing Hillary’s car when he grows up.
I hope more companies refuse to deal with him and he ends up on food stamp. Snow ball chance in hell but I can dream.

It’s obvious this story comes from the Lewandowski faction of the campaign. It’s also understandable Trump chafes at advice to ā€œact Presidentialā€. He’s not resisting the advice because he thinks it’s the wrong course of action, but merely because he’s incapable of doing it. He’d be just as lost if you told him to treat women as equals and with respect. Can’t do it, won’t try.

gotta wonder how the Republican elders, who rationalize, that they could somehow control/change Donnie Dimwit if he somehow did manage to become president feel now…

Trump is KOTPP (King of The Pig People)!

You could be right. His daughter is in fact his number one adviser. They talk regularly every day, and The Third Mrs. T and her predecessors have nothing to say he’ll listen to. So it’s the smokin’ daughter or maybe the two nitwit boys.

When Manafort was spreading the fertilizer the other day about how the carousing Prince Hal was going to reveal himself as a judicious and mature Henry V, the conventional hacks all went for it but the savviest pundits, Josh among them, said no way. The narcissism, crudity, and lack of discipline are not things he could change, they said. It’s a thing that builds your confidence in those unfooled few.

Has Trump assured Indiana’s pot farming community they won’t face Mexican Cartel extermination like in Kasich’s Ohio?

It took about 48 hours for the ā€œJust watch, Trump is now going to be Presidentialā€ sham to crumble to dust.

Nice try, Manafort. you’re stuck with a loser. We hear he’s a real asshole and skinflint too, so good luck with that.

I agree that at his core, Trump just can’t pull off dignity. On the other hand, I think the Trump campaign is trolling the media and public narrative that’s developed around him. The MSM… hell, the entire media industry has been nothing but abuzz for the last several days over Trump having to make this dramatic personal change so he can win the General. But wait, now we have ā€˜insider information’ that Trump is really struggling against the change… more media scurrying to talk about and analyze this internal ā€˜conflict’. Meanwhile, he stays in the media spotlight, feeds his rabid base who just know he’s the real deal and not one of those smarmy politicians, and gets to keep feeding a narrative that allows him to do what he’s been doing (be an utter asswipe) with everyone waiting for him to star in his own personal redemption reality show.
