Showmanship

Showmanship. A skill that’s very useful to a politician. Some have it, some don’t. And you can tell right away from the way they speak. The ones that have it speak with a lot of drama and are so convincing, even when they lie. The ones who don’t are bland and unconvincing, even when they tell the truth. But what I saw in the State of the Union speech was truly orchestrated showmanship, beginning with the men’s Olympic team and chants of USA, USA, USA. And metals of honor and other metals as well hyping nationalism. The whole thing was orchestrated by a pure showman — Trump. He definitely knows how to put on a show. That’s very very clear from this performance — not only his speaking but also how he orchestrated the whole program to produce a particular response. Trump the showman. No one can deny this.
