It's ridiculously simple, but credit where it's due - it's also pretty genius in its simplicity & effectiveness. It's a 2 step program:

1) Blame everyone else for anything negative
2) Take credit for anything positive

It only works if you present it with 100% belief and confidence. And I have come to think that Trump truly believes what he says. It's not conscious deception with him. He convinces himself first.

I was thinking this when hearing that they might be developing a vaccine in Oxford, that they're fast-tracking and hoping to have ready by September. If that ends up being "the cure," I have zero doubt whatsoever that Trump will claim credit for it.

Of course he will. But before then, we'll be treated to many, many more of his musing-out-loud idiotic blunders. And more spinning from his covidiots.

Simple. Crime pays. The only issue is quieting the conscience. Not an issue for Dump. He is so gone in Nov 2020

I think there is a critical third step. Tell everyone not to believe what they see. Because Trump's act falls apart if people have faith in institutions. Trump has successfully destroyed that faith, at least among his cult. That's why they can't be reasoned with. What we accept as incontrovertible evidence, they reject as 'Fake News' or a 'Deep State Plot'. It's the built in answer for every single Trump misstep, lie, and temper tantrum.
 
Im not sure its a secret. Or maybe its one of those so simple its hard to do secrets. Every great leader did it.

Take Lincoln for example. He appointed 5 or so generals like Mclellan that promptly decided to get themselves whipped by Lee. Did Lincoln say "Im sorry guys I messed up 5 times but dont worry 6th times the charm!" No. If he did that the Union would have collapsed. Instead he labeled Mclellan indecisive and the others various thinks and eventually appointed Grant. He was nowhere near Gettysburg as well but took credit for that so he could do the emancipation proclamation.

Did Churchhill say "I suck as a leader so the Germans are about the invade?" No if he did that he would have been thrown out and his replacement would have negotiated a surrender. Instead he just focused the people on how evil the Germans are, how right they are, and to look forward.

We need leaders who can instill positivity into us. Especially in these times. I cant imagine having Cuomo there or someone from CNN saying 10000 died today we expect 20000 more to die tomorrow and 1 million to die by the end of this. Also you cant leave your house till next year. The country would collapse as people descend into hopelessness.

Thank you for your service President Trump.

Trump has no morals. His father and grandfather were both criminals.

Trump’s secret is simple:

He’s largely right on the issues [who is going to be touting open borders after this; bring jobs back from China after this; recognizing China is the threat and not Russia; how to create a banging economy etc] and enough people saw that in 2016 that he won an election.

Typically, Trump voters don’t care about much else.. Why should anyone? Could never figure that out.

That's the truly dangerous part of it. It could take a generation for some institutions to recover (the 4th estate, our intel community, the State Dept., etc.)

I'm an adult. I prefer when leaders treat me that way. I can handle the truth.

I get that some would rather that leaders sugarcoat everything so they can feel all safe & happy.

Wow...is that really how Trump supporters think? That he's "largely right"?

How can you tell? On most things, he changes his mind every day, and contradicts himself on a regular basis.

I always laugh when he claims something and then says, “it may or may not”, gives himself that wriggle room!

His little catch phrases that he inserts are real tried & true tools for him, and extremely repetitive. There is also the whole subset of "many are saying/I'm hearing this from a lot of people" etc.
