Hello Steemians,
I just want to get an idea of what people in the U.S. currently think of Donald Trump. I've been out of the country for about 3 years now so the only picture I get of this guy is the one portrayed by the media.
There's usually 2 views. If you watch Fox News he's most likely portrayed as an amazing human being and the greatest president who ever lived. If you watch pretty much any other news channel he's usually said to be a horrible person and completely incompetent. I'm just trying to get a picture of what the people actually think.
I'm usually not a big fan of politics because I feel like its just a way to divide the people to keep them fighting each other while the corporations and big banks get passes to do pretty much anything they want to. I also like to do my own thinking which I believe is something that goes out the window when people follow one of the parties, it turns them into mindless sheep who let other people do their thinking for them.. So I'm not asking the following questions from a political aspect even though thats pretty hard since he's the president. I just want to know what people think of him as person. So here are the questions I would like answered:
What do you think of Donald Trump?
Is he a smart man?
Do you believe he's a Narcissist?
1.) I believe Donald Trump is playing the part of president as his final act in show business. He won the part of favorite son of the fundamental Americano-christian base out of 17 candidates and now has a contract for 4 seasons in office and a weekly script written by professional social-engineers to keep the show interesting. When all is said and done, he will leave the office having allowed the current show's operators to move some dials and levers in their favor and he will be either discarded quietly, killed off heroically, or reduced comically into insignificance like many other show's antagonists.
2.) While I have long harbored an extreme displeasure for the man he pretends to be on tv, and even more so lately for his and his swampy ilk's plan for my country, he is undeniably "smart". For years, he has taken part in a system that preys upon the stupid and naive and relieves them of their hope and money. It has required the skills to manage emotions and the emotions of others at a higher level than what most people are capable of. He is manipulative and has shown a capability for planning large organizations or executing complex plans successfully so in one way or another, I believe he may be a smart person. I will gladly suggest without any medical training, however, that his clear malignant narcissism has become too overwhelming for him to control, leading to a severe impeding of his decision making possibly multiplied by some other kind of neurological disorder which brings us to three.
3.) Yes

President Trump? His nature is squid like, I wouldn't jump to a conclusion because he is an actor/tv/president guy and hard to form a concise definition of his real character.
He appears to be but it depends, if you go by the scale of intelligence that most the world relies on; the ability to make money, then yes. I think he is an expert in finance and delegation and is used to conducting activity through these lenses. Definitely smarter than Bush.
Yes, he had his name made into his signature reality TV show for crying out loud! Every president has been narcissistic when in charge (absolute power corrupts absolutely) and nobody is immune. Everyone who has ever been on TV is a narcissist or they were a subject, this is a powerful dichotomy that can elect presidents, LOL!
I had to tune out after hearing about speculative psychology for two years straight, but this is steemit so enjoy the honest answers.

What do you think of Donald Trump?
I believe he is acting upon long held beliefs that he can Make America Great Again, (MAGA) and this can be seemingly proven by looking at old clips of prior statements such as an appearance on Oprah, where he thoughtfully discussed many of the nation's problems frankly. He was a registered Democrat then, but his path to the White House would have been 100 times more difficult had he stayed in that party. The Republicans are just as corrupt, but their primary is a bit easier to negotiate for a renegade like Trump.
Is he a smart man?
Yes, but "street smart" mostly, if lacking in formal education that most politicians have. Which is mostly useless, except to impress others in "Club Oligarch". He is also business smart, which can be useful in running the country, according to most voters.
Do you believe he's a Narcissist?
I do, and I know this because I am also. But hopefully I am a "recovering narcissist" at least. Many (most) great achievers are narcissistic, and one of the main elements of this trait is that they believe they can reach nearly any goal. His honest and sometimes brutal assessments of his opponents was heartily welcomed by nearly all of the primary voters, including Democrats... as long as it was directed at the Republican Field! Bernie Sanders would have been a much more formidable opponent than the utterly corrupt Clinton Cabal, but I suspect Trump would have used different tactics with "The Bern" but I know it would have been less effective.
Google and Facebook analytics predicted a huge landslide for Trump, but did not factor in probable voter fraud. Web-Bot, (Clif High) also predicted a similar result, but Clif stated that it would likely be much closer because he allowed that the fraud would be rampant. He was 100% Correct! The analytice predicted Trum would win FORTY STATES and easily take the popular vote. I suspect he did actually win the Popular Vote, but huge illegal and dead "turnout" in the dark blue states had around a million+ vote margin for "her majesty" :p Later results in states that she "won" conjured up quite a few more "votes" and I recall the final tally being around a 3 million vote margin. But with huge margins in the dark blue states... Go Figure!
I was on a pretty big Union Job, (powerhouse shutdown) and in our lunch room, Trump had a slight lead among the Union people! This is UNHEARD OF in a Presidential Election, Union Folks openly voicing support for a Republican POTUS candidate and winner ;)
Mush of this is due to the fact that he vowed to kill the TPP and he did, right out of the gate. He is also renegotiating NAFTA, and it will have to be better than it has been, it really sucks now! He has also promised to do the entire $1 Trillion Infrastructure upgrades bill under the Davis Bacon Act, meaning Prevailing Wages will be paid to all workers. Prevailing Wage means Union wage structures, but non-union contractors can bid, however they must pay their workers the higher union pay scale. The Trump Administration stated that this was in part to help garner Democrat support, and the unions will strongly push their Dem reps to vote for it, if it is not attached to some other horrible (in their eyes) legislation.
All in all, even if Trump has the most honorable intentions humanly possible, (and I am not saying he does, for sure) our "political process" can still screw up the entire deal, with sweetheart deals and BS that normally gets added in. So Trump still has a lot of obstacles, even without his own inherent shortcomings and frailties figured in. He was elected because he has a political "clean slate", but his possible second term is far from assured. The "fake news" and political establishments of both parties are set on kill, and I think it will take a miracle for Trump to get enough forward motion to do much more than some executive orders. I'm hoping for a Hail Mary like PizzaGate to totally explode and remove most of the established political sewer rats from DC, so at least if they "Get Trump" the next POTUS can maybe rectify some of the horrible sins of DC. It's a long shot, I know! But I still have HOPE...
Thanks for reading!
