I believe most of the things President Trump says and does, can be seen as rational from a ‘persuasion lense’, and he paces and leads a lot which is the main role of a President.
Sentiments drive events.
Some hours ago he released this tweet:
Of course, everybody says that he is just plain crazy and this could increase the odds of a nuclear war.
Because I know that Trump has a very good understanding of the human psyche, and he is certainly not drunk (picture a drunk Hillary and a red button), I will try to look for signs of rationality.
✒No sane person wants a nuclear war. I think we can agree on that.
✒Everybody wants to show strength, and show that they can indeed have the balls (or stupidity) to pull the trigger if necessary.
✒The most genius way is then to make it a kind of silly boyish my dick is bigger than yours persuasion game, with the other part wanting to have the biggest one too, without wanting to do any active moves (no pun intended).
Also, perhaps on a subconscious level he anchors ‘bigger’ to himself. He has already used that very effectively in the past against lil’ Marco (Rubio).
In that perspective, could perhaps Trump’s tweet be a master move after all?
What do you think of Trump's tweet, fellow Steemians?
Thank you for your time and attention. Steem on!
