What is so hard for Trump’s detractors to grasp is that what they don’t like about Donald Trump has nothing to do with temperament—he’s got it. He’s proved over the course of his highly successful business career that he’s got all the right qualities as a leader and a visionary.The reality is that Trump can't, or more likely chooses not to, self-edit to appear smooth and polished. He's working a model that Rush Limbaugh perfected, which includes both plain talk and braggadocio.
What they really don’t like is his style—and they’re purposefully conflating the two.
It’s an abandonment of political correctness. Through that directness, he bruises the egos of the political and academic elites, and speaks to the heart and soul of hard working Americans in a way they comprehend. That’s why it’s so effective. Trump talks as regular Americans often do.
Bluntness is a key part of his political brand. He doesn't code as part of the elite, and they hate him for it.
