Use everything to advance yourself and your agenda.
Speak out of turn and speak up a game.
Always be in front of the camera armed with tweet-able gabs e.g. “Deal or No Deal” “You are fired!”.
Get much exposure good or bad (counting on the mass’ short-term memory, on “mis” translation and on force-multiplier when your message cross-overs to other cultures i.e. the sheer weight of non-verbal, massive imagery, icon, symbolism that dominate and paint a personal brand: “I am successful” (with nice ties, great hair and big belly as props as taught by The Health and Wealth gospel and Electronic Church).
Spot their hot buttons e.g. trade war hot war, pro – life pro biz etc…, then press them.
Chin up, always, even when you’re 100% wrong.
Intimidate others and sniff their fear for leverage.
Be the aggressor i.e. always on the attack. No apology
What weakness? That’s only for losers, born with unalterable traits.
Deception replaces decency (circling the wagons – manufactured seized mentality and scarcity). Always portray a “they”, the “Others”…fake news, the media, the Green Party ….
Pride in place of humility.
Use people, God, things and anything to win.
There is nobody but me. Why should I admit any wrongdoing (high-birth and perfect genes).
My ethos and eco-system revolve around me: fast-food, quickie sex, then discard the wrappings.
To Hell with the Paris Climate Accords.
Damn you all. Oh wait, please first vote for me. And when you don’t, I will call in “proud” supporters to wrangle it back , the podium and the penthouse.
Cause I am the smartest guy in the room (Enron?) …full of losers and lesser mortals, the hired and fired hands. One-upmanship (my 47 mos > your 47 years) and showmanship (How is my hair?)
The Art of the Start ( using NYC tax rebate) and Art of the Comeback ( using campaign fund).
First and last impressions: I-me-mine (relics of the 70’s Me Generation and zero-sum game of the 80’s).
Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD), problem analysis, then the inevitable solution: me.
Just consume, communicate and F the consequences. That’s for the next guy (gal) to mop up. Kick the can down the road.
Smart ethos!
Stormy Daniels is also smart (albeit with NDA hence no access Hollywood nor Hill.) Just a $130.00 lap dance.
“Smart” finishes first. Good finishes last (weak).
Who is the winner? Who is the fairest of all? Who is first in line?
Until the line turns the other direction. Smart gets to the top first, only to find out, it’s the wrong building ( post-truth & pandemic one).
Then, as the good Book says, “last becomes first” cause “pride before the fall”. (see my other blog “Give me an F”).
