A Chief Entertainer and a Chief Commander: Trump Saturday 09/09/2017 Radio Address

During the weekly traditional Presidential radio address Saturday September 9, 2017, President Trump said everything right, he actually said everything of which no American could disagree.  But almost every American agrees after short yet vast experience with Trump, that the President is the ultimate cheerleader. the ultimate salesman, the ultimate talker and the ultimate no action President-talk the talk but stay far away and do not walk the walk.

During his weekly address, President Trump said the sweetest things almost every American wants to hear: He wants to correct the tax code and makes filing a single sheet, he wants to lower taxes especially on middle class America, the same middle class that across it's mosaic elected him President back in 2016. He wants to bring 'all' jobs and American companies abroad back to the motherland, he wants to create jobs, he wants to protect America. And the list goes on and on.

Trump on this weekly address, this Saturday the 9th of September 2017, said things that if actually get translated into actionable items and happen and take place, he with no doubt whatsoever will be in 2020 re-elected. But again, the experience with Mr. Trump, the ultimate sweet talker to his loyal base, proved to be much harder to believe and much harder to accept at face value.

However, not delivering on campaign promises proved to be valuable, not walking the walk in Trump's case- and he is a unique case in American politics of which will not be repeated for a long long time- proved again that Trump is as we believed here in this page a pragmatic and no ideologue; couple of days ago he made a deal to keep the government open with Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer of which puzzled some naive Republicans who think Trump actually means every word he say.

As a matter of fact, during the same radio address, Trump did not attack anyone, struck a conciliatory tone, sounded as an American values defender and not a huckster who caters to a narrow and  angry and sometimes fanatical and extremist base across America and not only in the south, west or the midwest.

Mr. Trump started his address affirming and confirming the federal government commitment to 'rebuild America' following hurricanes that devastated Houston and could do the same to Tampa and Miami and other parts of the coastal and Caribbean USA then he without pause or hesitation shifted gears and back to campaign themes of making 'America Great again' by implementing reforms across the board focusing on his only catchy slogans of which to bring jobs and companies from overseas back to the homeland and he said so and brought numbers to make his point that things are getting 'better' according to his calculations and his numbers. But do numbers lie, can numbers be manipulated and who is fact checking those things; the answer is soundly yes, numbers can be manipulated and numbers can lie and politicians can say virtually anything to catch attention and prove the unproved and make groundless points.

During his first month of office Trump moved quickly to issue executive orders to show his loyal base that he is acting on his campaign pledges but the experience so far proved that Mr. Trump will always act on his pledges but always and at the same time act half ways and he will always cater to his loyal base on Twitter and elsewhere. America to Trump is his loyal base but he is willing from time to time to work with others and give the base as needed the boot and at the same time tell them how much he loves them.

Trump in the first few months in office hired and fired like no other President and that is by itself is not necessarily a bad thing or a sign of incompetence and confusion, though it still could be.  And it also could indicate courageous trial and error and to a degree dynamic approaches but again Trump's style has been a cheerleader, an entertainer more than your typical calculated politican which again could indicate good things down the road or maybe out of chaos a solid administration could start to appear and emerge. The time will show how far or close to reality this analysis. A forgone conclusion is the following: At the end of the day, America will grow and benefit from Trump's presidency.
