I don't watch the US news channels except Bloomberg when I'm really bored or when some crisis happens, so I've only seen him "perform" once or twice. I don't get the "trust this guy" vibes off the little I've seen either but I generally don't trust anyone - too often that's been betrayed.
I'm still optimistic though: the path to not depending on the state for your monetary needs is wide open in the US and I hope that we'll see some more satification of daily life, like with steak & shake, while there is an opportunity for critical mass.

Yes, perhaps satisfaction is coming with the satification of the economy, but there has to be massive orange pilling before that can happen.
