Often, even before I write things, I only know I’m gonna get blasted for it. But often, I’ve gotta do it anyways— and, alas, this is one of those times]clears throat]:” I’d not take a career doing PR for Donald Trump”.

Okay, lemme have it:” HE’D NEVER ASK YOU, PINSKER!! GET YOUR HEAD OUTA YOUR]BUTT] AND STOP PRETENDING TO BE SO FREAKING IMPORTANT!! ( And besides, we’ve read your columns: You’re barely even qualified to do this! )”
Fair much. ( But in my defence, Trump has surely hired people waaay worse than I am, but really channeling my inward Lloyd Christmas:” So you’re telling me there’s a possibility. …YEAH”! )
 , Before Trump ran for office in 2016, I worked for a guy who ( briefly ) ran his marketing. This man had formerly worked in Nevada, where he handled the advertising for one of the top casinos on the Vegas Strip ( a popular one with plenty of music, prizefights, etc. ) before traveling to Trump on the East Coast. When he accompanied Trump on a business trip to South America, he had only been working with him for a short while.
At the time, Trump was n’t a political figure, he was” just” a celebrity businessman, a luxury real estate developer, and a TV star. However, Trump’s arrival was big news in this nation. Everywhere he went, he was stalked by a festival of devices. All was fighting for an unique history, and everyone was battling to support Trump.
While they were driving through the land, Trump abruptly ordered his car to stop. He jumped up and began pointing at this wonderful place within the beautiful wilderness: The view was magnificent.

Second, Trump held an unexpected hit event: This will be the location of the next Trump Casino! Glance at how beautiful it is! It wo n’t be an ordinary, run-of-the-mill three-star, four-star, or even a five-star property — no sirree, this will be SIX or SEVEN stars! In reality, this house will be so revolution, they’ll have to build a brand-new sun system for it!
You had better pay close attention to what Trump’s innovative marketing manager was jotting down in his pencil because he was furious about it. ( And Trump went into great detail about how the property would look, where the entrance would be, how many people would work there, etc. ) Thousands of critical information to capture! )
Finally, they returned to the car. Trump seemed information.
His brand-new marketing manager inquired about this incredible new seven-star game they were going to be building in a follow-up issue. Trump looked at him like he had 17 eyes:  , Dude! We’re not actually building a game it! Do n’t you know media schtick when you hear it? !
When Trump is free and having fun, there’s nothing healthier at embracing media interest. Anyone! He’s a master at the create, his intuition are absolutely amazing.
Largely because he is aware of who he is and feels at ease in his own skin. An unmatched one-two blow in PR is knowing who you are and having legitimate authenticity.
Listening to someone like me would undermine his sincerity.

Instead, it would ( potentially ) turn him into someone like Kamala Harris: An overly-programmed candidate who’s as authentic as Tom Brady’s teeth and hair. There’s never a real bone in her system.
We are in the final weeks of the 2024 election, and we still do n’t know who Kamala Harris really is.
As for Trump?
He’s closing the vote with a burst of his best press stunts: There he is at McDonald’s, flipping burgers and working the drive-thru glass! He’s driving a garbage truck while wearing a structure coat! He and Joe Rogan are tussling over each other and getting thousands of views. He’s actually throwing a star-studded event in the center of the democratic lion’s cave, Madison Square Garden!
And each time he does it, he suckers a little more gas out of the room.
Trump win by being Trump. And Trump is the only person who is more knowledgeable.
