What is Trump's Superpower
It is careless and naive to think that Donald Trump does not have special traits or skills that make him exceptional. True, he started with money and power, but he has turned a small fortune into an empire worth billions. He started in real estate and built a conglomerate that has successful businesses in a variety of diverse sectors, including gambling, entertainment, resorts, and hotels. He has a mastery of bureaucracy, courts, systems, and communications. There is something special about a person that can do this. Usually, someone that has achieved similar things might have an exceptional intellect, understanding of economics, is visionary, is charismatic, ridiculously dedicated, a great networker, confidence, or a combination of many things. There are very few tremendously successful people that don't excel is something, that don't have a "superpower". So what is Trump's superhuman ability?
Perhaps Trump has the unique ability to be whatever you want him to be. He can make anyone feel like there is a special connection between you and him. This is a combination of two superpowers, 1) he completely understands what each person want, and 2) he can transform himself into exactly what that person wants. You see his ability to successfully do this all the time; whenever he has a private meeting with somebody they always end up getting along. He just took Rand Paul out for golf and afterwards they were mutually optimistic about the future of health care. How is that possible, what did Trump say to him.
This superpower allowed Trump to succeed is business, constantly transforming himself into whatever personality gets the job done. However, because Trump is "morally flexible", his options were unlimited. He could become anyone, even if it meant going directly against something else he said or did. He could be pro-choice when currying favor with the Democrats and pro-life when reaching out to the southern Republicans. He could tell Obama not to do anything about Syria when he was promoting himself as a isolationist, but blame Obama for not doing anything when he is President. Back when he was just a businessman this wasn't a big problem for him (in was a huge advantage). His deals were made in private and nobody knew who he was around other people. And if he got caught, he could just lie, blame somebody else, and move forward. This strategy led him to prestige, fame, and billions. And he ran for President, transforming himself into the exact person that half the country wanted him to be. And if his new personality didn't make sense, or conflict with the past, he would just insist that it did make perfect sense. People believed him because he was exactly what they wanted. He was willing to do whatever it took to win and it worked, he actually became President of the United States. However, things are a bit different for him now. Everything he does is public and it makes it very difficult to be everything to everyone at the same time. He has strategies to overcome this, which include destroying the legitimacy of the media, surrounding himself with loyalists, lying constantly, intimidation, and blaming others.
Trump won the Presidency 100% on words (not experience, expertise, a track record, a skill set, or a ideology). His policies, so far, have been more words, in the form of Executive Orders. But Presidents are not judged on words or orders, they are judged on results. Has Trump's superpower reached its limit, or can he trick us again. I'm certain he will try, for Trump has superpowers and supreme confidence in himself. Of course, he needs a comic book name, so we shall call him "Captain Bull-Shit".
