say it’s important to have her just have a normal conversation.
It seemed to me that was Rogan's intention, too. He certainly didn't bite when Trump insisted she'd make a fool of herself, which I liked.
I still find him very narcissistic, he is always happy to talk about how great he is and how great he did…
Me too, though I wonder how much of it is campaign and how much is genuine. I thought the insistence on all the amazing accomplishments of his presidency was tiring, but then, it might just convince some people (so maybe it's a campaign trick?). I dunno. I don't remember listening to him talk before he was in politics, so can't compare.
But then I also find his genuine self kinda gross, like I don’t think I would like having a person with his personality around me on a regular basis.
Agreed. I think so many people are just so surprised to hear a genuine response from a politician, they ignore the fact that he doesn't really seem very nice.
Other than some soundbites, i haven't seen the interview yet. In general though, I think Trump is pretty genuine when he speaks. I mean I'm sure that when he is talking about his performance as president that he is selling himself a little bit (he is campaigning after all) but Trump always speaks in hyperbole. Everything is "the best" or "the worst", "amazing" or "terrible". I don't think there is any intent to deceive, it's just the way he speaks. He doesn't leave a lot of room for subtlety when it comes to something he sees as good vs. something he sees as bad.
Likewise, while his personality can be abrasive, I don't think he is not nice. He is nice to those who are nice to him and doesn't put up with bullshit from those that are not. And why would he? Look at how he is treated in the media and by his political opponents. He's not really a turn the other cheek kind of guy. Maybe that's a character flaw but it is an understandable one.
With Trump I think we are, for the most part, seeing the real guy. With Kamala, i have no idea who we are seeing. She tends not to answer the most basic questions in a meaningful way and blames Trump whenever questioned on anything the Biden/Harris administration has done (on the rare occasions she puts herself in a position to be questioned about anything). I would love to see Kamala do Rogan or any real interview where she speaks genuinely. Maybe it would change my opinion of her. Right now my opinion is that she is locked into her ideological world view and it is one that would lead the whole country in the direction of California which would be economically disastrous among other bad things. More than that, i think she cares far more about her own career than for doing a good job for the country.
I say all of this as someone who has yet to vote for Trump in any election (I've voted Libertarian in the last few presidential elections) though I'm leaning heavily that way this time around.
