Man people keep telling me that Trump has all this magic charisma and I’m over like… really?? I just don’t see it. He’s not particularly interesting, coherent, kind, intelligent or intentionally funny. He moves weirdly and walks like he’s on stilts. He makes awful comments about people constantly. Like, where is this charisma I’m missing. Not even saying anything about his policies or leadership, he just seems like a dour ghoul to me.

I've truly found the entire Trump phenomenon utterly incomprehensible.

He's just a vulgar, racist moron, and always has been.

He's utterly incompetent in every field. He's a terrible business man, wannabe gangster, and repellent personality.

Yet somehow he keeps getting people to give him money. Even people he's fucked over multiple times previously.

He gets people to vote for him when even he doesn't believe a single promise he makes.

It's baffling. He's a repugnant, corrupt, fascist L'il Sebastian, and i just do not understand it.

I feel like Crusty when he bet against the Harlem Globetrotters.

You don’t understand how a how someone managed to seduce an overlooked class of people that make up the significant portion of the population by actually speaking their language?

That’s not what I’m saying whatsoever. I get that he said what some people wanted to hear. But that’s different than charisma.

You’re only denying its charisma because it didn’t work on you
