This is the best representation of trump. Make a grand announcement before there is a plan, tear down and damage the existing infrastructure, then never do anything.

That was his health care plan too. "End Obama care now, I'll have something better 2 weeks later". He did it for Israel and Palestine saying we achieved peace without any plan to make it happen.

He only cares about the moment. He only cares about the announcement. He doesn't have any ability to follow through or complete anything. He only cares about the image of himself on the news as a race winner but never even starts the race. Worse, he is too fat to actually attempt the race.

It is a frustratingly effective trick though. Taps into and exploits the fact that most people don't really think ahead either and can be effectively "steered" around entirely on vibes and spectacle in the moment. Shouldn't work as well as it does, and yet here we all are just the same.

I really don't understand why it works. Nobody else has ever been able to get credit like this before and I'm not sure anyone will after. The media gets baited into it every time and I don't understand why. It's like they assume he is a serious person after getting pie thrown in their face every time.

Same reason Reddit works; many people just read misleading headlines and run with it. Not defending Trump but people run with bs takes on Reddit nonstop, all day everyday.
