A New Yorker article concerning why the billionaire class have largely swung behind Donald Trump, and put money behind those beliefs, has an interesting quote I recommend to those reluctant to support Trump. It was spoken to the author by an attendee at a donor lunch.
"A lot of the donors have just come to the conclusion that, when you add it all up, the risks with Trump are behavioral—personal behavior and what he says—versus the policies,” the attendee at the Fifth Avenue fund-raiser told me. It was a “rationalization” adopted by “even those who were initially very put off, very alienated, by his behavior at the end of his Presidency."
What turns people off about DJT is his sui generis impresario-like personal style. It’s a mix of business and show biz because his career has been a mix of business and show biz - some “Jack Welch” mixed with some “P. T. Barnum.”
It drives Dims nuts because nobody has figured out how to run against it. Reagan had some of this quality too and it caused them some of the same problems.
