My short 3 points on Trump - if you care

1. The bubble. This has been covered by many here. He and his inner circle (of family) live in a bubble where he is never questioned or even slowed, every move is in fact praised.

2. Fatigue. He avoided much of the grind of the primaries making appearances in front of his plane and leaving. No pancake breakfasts, no coffee drop offs for the staff/volunteers (he has none), no shaking hands in a rope line. Fatigue makes people make bad choices.

3. Body language. As part of #2 he was allowed an unprecedented amount of phone interviews. A voice of authority with no info for the viewer to read between statements. Now he is out in the open where everything is judged.

These really intertwine.
