Thanks. Ive been a salesman since 16 so I see the stuff he's doing. Before he ran for president I actually liked trump as a salesman. He was good, still a sleezball and shady but I had respect for the "art" if you will. Not the person.
So I make fun of him a lot and it's simple for me because it's just "take sleezy sales strategies I already know, add what I know about trump from the early days and now, a liberal sprinkling of alzheimer's and garnish with an arrogant god complex."
That's a perfect trump speech recipe if you want to try it at home, or for a party.
That's where you get stuff like
"you wouldn't believe it" setting your customer up by telling them what they are about to feel. That makes them start to feel that way before you even say the thing.
"Some say it's more, I could be more, probably more but let's say 200"
"Others said It couldn't be done" whoever you think those other people might be... That's who's lieing to you and I'm now confirming that you can't trust them. You can trust me because I loved them wrong... And that's kinda like proving you right isn't it? Because you didn't trust whoever you are thinking about and you were right to feel that way. And I'm right and safe. So trust me because we're basically a team now. Against the people you think I'm talking about.
Anyway that's enough examples but you can see things like "who said it couldn't be done" it vague so the customer can fill it in themselves with whoever they want. You can see things like "biden had more than 10 "forms or whatever"" woah I didn't say ten. I said maybe ten and I think probably, but I also said I didn't know. It was an opinion not a lie"
Even "Hussain" Obama. The name has negative appeal but it's just a name not a political stance hell he didn't even pick it himself. But you dont trust that name so I'm going to make sure you keep hearing it.
Sleezy sleazy sales tactics. And with age he's gotten worse. I mean he was always a bad person but with age he's getting worse at the "art" if you will.
