Donald Trump is generally viewed as a sort of badly behaved carnival show barker.

~~  

That reputation is actually undeserved and too bad because Trump in person is a very polite, well-mannered, nice guy who treats everybody, including low level staff very well.

Nana Maternal forged into me, as though it were Prussian steel, the adage that the key to accessing if a man is a gentleman or no is how he treats his servants.

~~

Donald Trump, behind the theatrical mask, treats all his people very well.

~~

I’ve watched him do that.

~~

Which makes him a gentleman.

~~

Ought it to make him a President?

~~

I think the answer to that is yes because Trump speaks to issues that are of very direct and visceral interest to a great number of Americans of all political persuasions.

~~

But, like so many other public figures: politicians, sportsmen, movie stars, pop stars and so on, Trump has become a self-parody and that parody he has become is a bombastic, not likable, gadfly when in fact, to know him even a little bit is to know a very likable guy with some very wholesome ideas for the country:

~~

To wit: most especially so, getting Americans good paying jobs, flooding America with good paying jobs….a subject of absolutely no interest at all to any other politician I have heard speak this season, or the last, or the last or the last before that.

~~

That’s truly a shame because I think Trump really would bring good jobs back home to America and for that reason alone, he should be elected.

~~

And that is part of his being a gentleman who demonstrably cares about helping Americans to have a better life than they now do, by arranging for them the possibility to have good jobs once again in America.

~~

Nana Maternal would approve and so do I.

~~

What stands in Trump’s way is what stands in the way of so many successful men:

~~

The man himself.

~~

Trump stands in Trump’s way.

~~

Trump is a self-parody and that parody is deemed as foolish and not likable by the public, despite that parody’s being:

~~

Not true.

~~

Simply:

~~

Not true.
