Why Donald Trump Has the Perfect Presidential Temperament

According to three failed presidential candidates, Donald Trump does not have the right temperament to be President of the United States. But one must ask: Did Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, or Mitt Romney have the right temperament to survive and succeed in their presidential campaigns? Their election results speak for themselves.

Even the so-called experts – the TV political pundits and commentators – consistently claim that Trump does not have the right temperament to be president. Yet, the most glaring issue with this popular meme is that many of the punditsdon’t know the difference between temperament – which we’re born with – and personality, which is shaped by our social environments.

All one has to do is review the pundits’ commentary and opponents’ Tweets to see that the main criticism of Trump is his personality, not his temperament.

The truth is, much of the criticisms of Trump focuses on hisastute ability to zero in and attack his opponent’s weaknesses. It is easier to label Trump a “bully” than to accept the assessments of his competitors. For example, while Jeb Bush took pride in being a “joyful tortoise,” once Trump labelled him as “low-energy,” it was all over for Bush.

Trump’s uncanny ability to take the voters’ pulse resonates with the public because he says what others have been thinking. And while controversial, Trump has grabbed everyone’s attention by describing the potential solutions in concrete, utilitarian terms: ‘’Build a wall,” “Until we know what the hell is going on, ban Muslims from coming to the USA,” and “Make America great again.’’

In one GOP debate, Senator Ted Cruz refrained from criticising Trump’s temperament, saying, “I think that is an assessment the voters are going to make.” Cruz was right: The voters were able to see what Trump would bring to the presidency better than anyone else.

So, let’s finally put this criticism of Trump’s temperament to rest: His temperament is exactly what our country needs at this critical time in our history.

The United States of America is poised for the greatest, most necessary, and vital transformation in decades, and Trump’s temperament falls into the same category as such history-making former presidents as Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan.

How do I know? Simple.Mr. Trump, at my request, took the Keirsey Presidential Temperament Evaluation; an unbiased assessment tool used to evaluate the temperament of 41 presidents.

Trump’s Keirsey Presidential Evaluation revealed that he is a master of the practical; he eschews “social approval” and instead strives to find and implement solutions that work; he’s astutely aware of reality; he prefers concrete tactical solutions to abstract concepts; and he values “doing the right thing in the right way at the right time.” If diplomacy has a tactical purpose, he’ll make it a priority.

So, how does Trump compare to some of these former presidents? Let’s start with personality descriptions of JFK and LBJ. Johnson lacked Kennedy’s East Coast breeding, social connections, and urbane style, wit, and grace. Johnson was more like an axe, preferring to be brazen and pugnacious. Compared to Kennedy, LBJ was considered rude, unpolished, and sometimes cunning…

Many political wonks and historians agree that Kennedy and Johnson were powerful politicians who understood the game and played it energetically, shrewdly, and unflinchingly. Both were crafty, hard-working opportunists, able to use any event to accomplish a goal. Kennedy and Johnson could be equally underhanded, unprincipled, scheming, brazen, and downright dirty in the way they played the game of politics.

History shows Kennedy and Johnson shared more similarities when it came to getting the job done. They were both disinterested in ideas that did not have a practical application to their immediate objectives. Kennedy had a special tactical prowess coupled with subtlety and dexterity, deceit, and seduction. And Johnson once said of himself, ‘’I’m just like a fox. I can see the jugular in any man and go for it, but I always keep myself in rein. I keep myself on a leash, just like you would an animal.”

Louis Banks, managing editor of Fortune, said of Kennedy, “He is a man completely and vigorously engaged in events of the moment. Thus he regards his past acts as more or less an irrelevant prologue; his future acts as something to be determined under future circumstances.”

It was their temperament that led to their success.Like it or not, the Keirsey Presidential Evaluation reveals that Trump has the same temperament as these arguably successful past presidents. Presenting a vision for our country’s future, which focuses on the present issues, is one of the strongest qualities Trump shares with Kennedy and Johnson. Kennedy launched the first modern presidential campaign and tapped into popular culture using the exciting new medium of television. With grand ambition, Johnson launched sweeping social programs, public radio and television.

Donald Trump’s prescient concerns for our country have been consistent. He underscored and predicted in 1988 that the USA could not be a debtor nation. As Mr. Trump said to Oprah, ‘’I get tired of watching our nation being ripped off.’’ Though his focus was then on Japan and now it is China, the same exact point holds true: these countries sell their products to Americans but free trade is a misnomer.

Scrutinizing the temperaments and characteristics of past presidents, it’s clear that what some pundits consider Trump’s weaknesses are actually evidence of his deeply ingrained principles: love of country, a desire to impact others in a positive way, a realistic grasp on how the world really works, and a strong mission to get things done.

One thing is certain: Trump has keen instincts and will survive setbacks which might leave other candidates’ immobilized. But win or lose, succeed or fail, you can count on a President Trump to be adaptable and to roll with the punches and land on his feet. He always has and he always will. And isn’t that what we want in the President of the United States? Especially now.

==Trump's Temperament Part II

Conclusion to my assessment that Trump's temperament is what we need once again Written in 2016 1/2==

Why Donald Trump Has the Perfect Presidential Temperament, Part II

Everyone says Donald Trump is crazy, so I decided to test their theory and challenge the assumption that he is made of the wrong temperament. I run Republicans Overseas in the UK; we have to process the Trump victory; we think he’s being misrepresented.

The political elite, along with the media and their regular pundits, have been so busy picking on words — evaluating Trump according to their own personal standards — that they keep missing what is happening before their eyes. Across the board, no matter the group,they have applied their own elitist standardsof how one should behave and how one should speak.

No matter how wrong they have been, it seems they care more about being right than analysing how our culture has changed and how the voters have spoken. At least CNN’s Quest for Business attempted to attribute the demise of our culture going all the way back to Jerry Springer.

The main criticism of Trump is his personality, not his temperament. Trump’s personality and tone do offend some people; however, after knocking out 16 competitors, perhaps these critics might havebeen better served analysing his successes rather than judging his behavior.

So, for those who want to understand Trump’s temperament, they would be best served by comparing him to history-making former presidents, such as: Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan.

For each andevery President, it was their temperament that led to their success. Like it or not, the Keirsey Presidential Evaluation reveals that Trump has the same temperament as these arguably successful past presidents. Scrutinizing the temperaments and characteristics of past presidents showsevery one of them thrived on action, risks, challenges, and change.

While Franklin Roosevelt was not a long-term strategist, he was a prodigal tactician with a very clever ability to influence people and immediate events with an extraordinary sense of timing. Many political wonks and historians agree that Kennedy and Johnson were powerful politicians who understood the game and played it energetically, shrewdly, and unflinchingly. Both werecrafty, hard-working opportunists, able to use any event to accomplish a goal. Clearly the same can be said of Trump.

Fairness never played a role in FDR’s temperament. In the book Eleanor and Franklin, the former First Lady revealed, ‘’The President used those who suited his purposes. He made up his own mind and =discarded people when they no longer fulfilled a purpose of his==.’’ Even when he had nothing at stake, Franklin often would be devious simply for the pleasure of it.

Kennedy and Johnson could be equally underhanded, unprincipled, scheming, brazen, and downright dirty in the way they played the game of politics. Both JFK and LBJ were accused of being womanizers. FDR used people and cast them aside like paper napkins. JFK acted secretly during the Cuban Missile crisis, as did Reagan in the Iran-Contra affair. Sometimes these presidents were considered impulsive, even reckless. But each man served the United States during a time of complexity, great turmoil, and social upheaval. No president has ever proved to be a saint.

Like Trump, Reagan was accused of being loyal to a fault. Reagan genuinely fretted when he had to reprimand or fire anyone he knew or liked. Trump stood by his campaign manager in the Michelle Fields brouhaha. Calling for Trump to fire Corey Lewandowski can only be deemed as an extremely self-preserving act. Standing by Lewandowski proved the right, loyal, and fair decision.…

When Trump declared the primary process was rigged, Cruz, Kasich, and the pundits tagged Trump as a “whiner.” However, rather than picking on words or tone, they would have recognised one of Trump’s strongest characteristics – his desire to ensure fairness in execution and implementation applied equally to all.

Theodore Roosevelt’s interest in fairness, honesty, and support of “the little guy’’ appealed to most Americans. Reagan was, and Trump is, an egalitarian.This strong belief in the principle that all people deserve equal rights and opportunityis somehow confusing the Conservative wing of the Republican Party. Reagan’s goal was the same as Trump’s – slice the fat out of the monstrous Washington bureaucracy. But not at the expense of citizens.

Mastering the mediums of the modern world changed how politicians connected with citizens. PR acumen served the political agendas of both Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt. They had a powerful ability to use the press to communicate directly with people. However, Franklin had a new medium – the radio – which took his message directly into the homes of Americans and which he used brilliantly to persuade voters without being edited by the newspapers. JFK did the same, only with television. He used TV to run a cutthroat, negative and cruel TV media campaign successfully exposing Nixon’s weaknesses.

It’s not really a surprise that in 2016 Trump took campaign communications to new heights, employing social media and a fearless use of Twitter to connect directly to potential voters and expose his opponents’ weaknesses. Most pundits agree:Trump rewrote the book on American politics. It will never be the same.

Reagan entered and occupied the Oval Office with a disarmingly simple agenda consisting of three objectives – release the entrepreneur from government bondage, restrict the size and activity of the federal government, and get tough with the “evil empire.’’

Should he win, Trump would enter the Oval Office with four straightforward proposals: put America first and rebuild her strength economically and militarily, use beneficial trade policies putting America first; solve the immigration crisis; and change our tax structure to bring money back to America.

Finally,Trump’s most noticeable characteristicis based on hisability to adapt swiftly to changing circumstances and to alter his behavior in the moment in order to operate effectively in the most unstable situations. It’s clear that what some pundits consider Trump’s weaknesses are actuallyevidence of his deeply ingrained principles: love of country, a desire to impact others in a positive way, a realistic grasp on how the world really works, and a strong mission to get things done.

So, let’s finally put this criticism of Trump’s temperament to rest.His temperament is exactly what our country needs at this critical time in our history.

>>19726339, >>19726317 Dr. Jan Halper calls out Matrixxx, Shady & Authority Q as Disinformation & Division PN

Dr. Jan recommends to connect the comms from Trump in speeches, posts etc. To collect them from different speeches and put them together to understand them. She says putting the pieces of what Trump says is a big puzzle, even his misspellings. In other not only can we can get meaning at the time and connect to Q posts, overall he is revealing exactly what is going on past, present and future. Anons pretty much does that but she confirms there a lot more comms coming out. She says she listens to his speeches, and re-listens to them two more times taking notes.

Steve asked are the comms “spur of the moment or preplanned”: She answered saying “she thinks “the inconsistencies” (comms) are written the speech”.

So I think, when he doesn’t use speech notes to read, or when he goes off script, he must have memorized what comms are decided on to include.

She said with his “truths” if you gather them together over time with misspellings and odd statements, we can put a puzzle together with a longer story later.

>>19727674

I think she did plausible deniability at the end. Steve asked about the Q drops, her answers was she has “never read the Q drops, neither did she follow Q”, but she said, some people (anons) there are intentional misspellings. And she hopes someone would explain them to her.

I doubt that statement seriously “that she never read them”, because as a communications specialist working for a high level DOD agency and many gov agencies she would absolutely understand them. While she said that, she had this wry little smile, kind of impish, on her face. Its towards the end of the video

>>19727690

She didn’t says comms, I did. She said “inconsistencies”

I post PN after the link, look back at it

>>19727722

You are kidding right? Anons and autists have done that forever

“Inconsistencies written in the speech”, I missed “in”
