00:00I always think Donald Trump shoots from the hip, but we haven't seen social media posts from a president like
00:08we have from President Trump.
00:09We don't really hear them talking that way. What do you think of the Trump team's media push at the
00:16moment?
00:17So this is the age in which we live, and it's also the White House in which this is the
00:26way that they operate.
00:26Great. Let's look at the new mayor of New York City. He was incredibly successful because of his presence specifically
00:34on TikTok.
00:35Indeed.
00:35On social media, it was huge for his win to become the current mayor.
00:42And I think Donald Trump, because he does shoot from the hip, his greatest success has been on the campaign
00:50trail when he won in 2016 and then again last year.
00:55And now, what, more than 18 months ago. When he does speak from the hip, that is what makes him
01:03so appealing and attractive to his base.
01:06And his greatest victories have come when he's campaigned and then he's won the election.
01:12But his biggest downfall is consistently when he is standing up, shooting from the hip, instead of being a statesman,
01:21instead of being the president.
01:22It's as though, you know, when you're of age, say you're 21 years old, and somebody who's even older has
01:32a conversation with you and says, you know, you're no longer 16, you're now 21, you have to act your
01:38age.
01:38Donald Trump has never, it seems, accepted that there is a persona that the president has to have.
01:46Instead, I think he constantly reverts to where he has been most successful, which is when he says the most
01:55outrageous things.
01:56And so for him to try to temper that natural instinct, I think is maybe something that in the first
02:08term, some people in the White House would have worked with him to try to do.
02:13But now he is, I think, allowed to let go.
02:18And he does, he speaks what he wants to say.
02:21He speaks what he wants to say.
