The defense secretary has floated a White House run with close friends and associates, two people said. And Hegseth sparked speculation with an event in Iowa this month.
The difference between Trump and Pete the drunk is for all Trumps faults, he is a charismatic speaker (threw up in my mouth a little saying a nice thing about him)
I’ve never understood why people think that. Most of what comes out of his mouth makes absolutely no sense. If I was to act completely impartial, and forget everything I know about the monster, listening to him wouldn’t make me think “What a charismatic guy”. He sounds like he’s 2 brain cells away from having a stroke.
Yeah I don’t understand it at all. Dude has the charisma of a used cars salesman (way too confident and energetic) with the eloquence of a toddler and somehow that makes him a demigod to his base ? (and I do have several examples of people I politically and/or personally despise who actually have charisma)
A lot of the rural Trump voters I know had made being uneducated a key pillar of their personal identity even before 2015. Those are the people who think he’s a charismatic speaker.
The urban and suburban ones held their noses and voted for him because “at least he’s not a Godless Democrat.” They don’t listen to what he says, but they vote for him anyway.
I think you’re 100% correct that it’s used car salesman energy. His base doesn’t understand what he’s saying (because he makes no sense), but they can cherry-pick parts they understood and craft positions that they agree with over them. They hear what they want to in an overly confident energetic way. It’s why they think he “says it like it is,” even though he just vomits words.

Yes, now it’s absolute nonsense, but back in 2016 and earlier he was a lot more coherent, and the racists ate it up.
