Why Trump Dominates Every Election Conversation #politics #communication #trump

Trump told voters to pretend I'm on the ballot. Democrats immediately thought, we can do that. Democratic candidates want the midterms to become a referendum on Trump's handling of the economy and the Iran war. Some Republican candidates would prefer voters to think about anything else, including the actual candidate whose name appears on the ballot. But Trump does not share attention. If Trump attended a solar eclipse, the moon would receive 8 minutes. Whatever you think about his age, appearance, or record, I've never seen Trump look more alive than when he's standing in front of thousands of people applauding him. Some people recharge by meditating. Some recharge by sleeping. Trump plugs directly into an arena. He's a human Tesla Supercharger powered entirely by chants of his own name. Republicans want Trump's energy without making every congressional election entirely about Trump. Trump's answer was, pretend I'm on the ballot. That wasn't an endorsement. That was a hostile takeover of the sample ballot.
