National Review: Trump is the political version of a pickup artist, and Republicans and America went to bed with him convinced that he was something other than what he is. Trump inherited his fortune but describes himself as though he were a self-made man. We did not elect Donald Trump; we elected the character he plays on television.
He has had a middling career in real estate and a poor one as a hotelier and casino operator but convinced people he is a titan of industry. He has never managed a large, complex corporate enterprise, but he did play an executive on a reality show. He presents himself as a confident ladies man but is so insecure that he invented an imaginary friend to lie to the New York press about his love life and is now married to a woman who is open and blasé about the fact that she married him for his money. He fixates on certain words (negotiator) and certain classes of words (mainly adjectives and adverbs, bigly, major, world-class, top, and superlatives), but he isnt much of a negotiator, manager, or leader. He cannot negotiate a health-care deal among members of a party desperate for one, cant manage his own factionalized and leak-ridden White House, and cannot lead a political movement that aspires to anything greater than the service of his own pathetic vanity.
