Gee, have to admit after watching this I feel challenged.
In particular the feeling that Trump is genuine on a certain level that other politicians are not comes through strongly- his claim that all previous presidents were either professional politicians (93%) or from the military (7%) and that he is the first from a primarily business background reinforced that impression.
Trump is also clearly articulate and intelligent in a way that does not come through as well in MSM clips and reports.
Who do you believe?!?
Articulate and intelligent? I think people are hearing what they want to hear. I've read entire transcripts of his speeches and am not impressed. He is a master of manipulating the media, but he is very clearly not "intelligent" in any way we normally use the term. And he is in no way "articulate" -- He is the most poorly-spoken president I've heard speak (or whose transcripts I've read).
Also, I think Jimmy Carter could qualify as having been a businessman (and in the American way, not inheriting his wealth).

I guess I meant intelligent in terms of thinking on your feet hustle and certainly in building a narrative that makes you look good.
IMO he does succeed in that in the Rogan podcast.
Good point about Carter although wasn't he a state Governor (ie politician) prior to being President?
