I have no idea who it is, but the private one is clearly different than the public one. Profoundly ignorant in both cases though, on the issues of the day, and the narcissism comes through in bot cases as well.

It was mostly the ignorance of the author coming through in that interview. You don’t get to see what actually happened, this person is selling you their filter.
He had some crazy demonic stereotype built up that no one could believe unless they had never seen Trump but only listened to Democrats talk about him.
He thinks when asked what books they are reading Republicans always say the bible.
The interviewer didn’t come off as very knowledgeable but rather full of stereotypes.
I give it 5 Courics.
Bravo, Bart!
As an aside on Couric, it seems her team broke several federal laws regarding firearms, and then complained that what they’d done was “perfectly legal” and held it up as an example of why laws are too lax. Thereby, they achieved the rare status of being both duplicitous (via the editing) and pig ignorant on the subject on which they were pontificating.
In “Einstein space and van gogh sky” one lives or moves thru different realities. Realities being zones with different rules. Everyone does it, daily, hour to hour. One can say that one has different behaviors for different situations- that it’s only in our head- so it’s “actually” different realities.
But everything is in your head, and one can notice or highlight that they are different worlds, and it might useful in terms of question what is the real Donald Trump.
[Or in contrast, Reality TV is bullshit. Or once was uses a camera, one is altering the reality. If not the persons being filmed, the those filming are altering it- the editing alters it. Or putting a cameraman at protest, alters the protest]
So real Donald Trump is what is important to the Donald. And what seems obvious is that working is what is important to him.
So Donald will explain to a wife that he is a work alcoholic- it’s something any wife of his would have to accept, or it’s going to cause a lot conflict. Or this is not something a wife is going to change.
So one can have different type of work, and Trump’s work is being President candidate. And when he is President, his work will be a President.
So when ask what is real Donald, the answer is he is a worker. And then he has personal life after work, BUT he brings his work into his personal life- his wedding is not different world, but another business opportunity in different venue. Donald does not do vacations- it’s another business opportunity. One could say the Trump running for President is his vacation.
What is vacation but entering different reality.
So really the only way for Donald to take a “real” vacation, is to run for President. Or it has enough power to pull him away from normal work obsession, but obviously one generally would call it a working holiday- but point is it’s a different reality for Trump- and therefore as like a vacation or retirement program
It isn’t really that hard. He’s a shock jock. For some reason we are nominating a shock jock for president.
Ignore most of what he says and you’ll be good. Hopefully he’ll pick good advisors and listen to them – I assume he did that when he built buildings.

Well shock jock in sense of say there is girl with 3 tits. And the shock jock says, the chick has 3 tits.
Or Trump says things which may appear to be not true or offensive but true. Also Trump expects the media to lie about what he says.
So Trump says there should have temporal ban on Muslims, and media says Trump wants to ban Muslims [[forever]]. And then Trump doesn’t do the press the courtesy of correcting the stupid press, rather he seems to encourage the press do their frenzy of stupidity. Then he follows up by saying the obvious: that the press are bunch a scumbags [which has always been true].
The press are actually the Shock Jocks- it’s their business. If bleeds it leads, etc. It is not an invention of Trump. Trump is just playing their game- but obviously better than they can do it.
“Ignore most of what he says and you’ll be good. ”
Which difficult for press to do. The press is Left, and Trump goes after
the political correct of the Left.
Examples of left’s political correct, gay marriage is important national issue. People should care about global warming. Women are the same as Men. Women should be in same kind of combat that are Men.
Everyone should have equal pay. You did not build that.
There is endless supply of Lefty nonsense which is sacred to Lefties.
My feelings about Trump as a person or his competency don’t really matter at this point. Democrats are unleashing militant mobs into the streets using violence to terrorize and intimidate their fellow Americans. Who as the interviewer of the link showed, Democrats see as evil sub-humans. Democrats view this violence as righteously justified and even required.
Democrats waving Mexican flags and burning American flags are a disgrace.
How can anyone not vote for Trump at this point? Who thinks that elected Democrats won’t use the government the same way as their mobs?
Where can Democrats go from here, lynching people in the street? Without the cops, it already would have happened. Scary when you consider how they do battle with cops and pressure elected officials to not provide police protection.
Anyone who fears Trump being a fascist dictator needs to look at how the government has acted under Obama, how Hillary has promised to go further, and how the Democrats are orchestrating violence.
The fear of the unknown future is very different from the reality of right now.
I don’t understand why Trump is such a mystery to some? He is a rich guy (how rich is immaterial) as surprised by how things are going as anybody else. This really isn’t about him. It’s about the reaction to him and the swell of support he’s getting.
The opposition are thugs. We are heading for a civil war because few have been fighting back. Trump doesn’t back down and his intuition is often correct. Just watching media heads explode for the next four years will be worth it.
Do you get the feeling that our esteemed host and generous sharer of this bandwidth is the last Libertarian/Conservative/Republican/Right holdout of the anti-Trump cause . . . on his own blog?
That this is taking on attributes of The Last Man on Earth/The Omega Man/I Am Legend as the Plague, either a bio-war agent or a well-intentioned medical experiment depending on the retelling, turns the rest of us into photo-phobic bleached-skin Trump supporters?
There are still a lot of people that won’t vote for Trump. Maybe if you live in a deep blue state, it doesn’t matter. Not voting for Hillary or Trump because of disgust with both is legitimate but it also has to come with the recognition that one of them will be President. Not participating, doesn’t change the outcome.
The only way Hillary doesn’t become President, is if someone else wins. The only other person who can win is Trump.
I don’t know how a president Trump would govern but I do know how Hillary would and watching her stormtroopers riot in the streets means I want to prevent her from winning.
Only one way that happens.
Wodun,
I just thought of one way voting for Trump if you live in a Deep Blue State can be useful for Liberty:
Dems love to talk about overall vote totals even though we have an electoral college. The overall vote count is meaningless in a Presidential election, but the Lo-Fo’s don’t understand that.
So the narrower the difference in overall vote count, the less able Hillary can point to an awesome mandate.
Do we all get a cool ‘fro?
Is the public Paul Milenkovic the same as the private one? Is the public Ken Anthony the same as the private one? Is the public Mark Whittington the same as the private one? Is the public Jon Goff the same as the private one? Is the public Ed Minchau the same as the private one? Is the public Rand Simberg the same as the private one?
There is a difference between public and private for a reason.
There isn’t much difference between the public me and private me.
You might notice a difference yourself, if there were cameras scrutinizing your every move and teams of volunteers looking for inconsistencies.
Any candidate will be less than perfect. Until human beings are perfect, it is unlikely there will ever be a perfect candidate. This was just as true when there were 17 candidates vying for the Republican nomination.
It boils down to a minimax algorithm – who is going to be the least-worst? I think that’s an easy choice this time around, with the added bonus of watching a Lefty meltdown a la 1980. I think Scott Adams is right, even if Hillary can somehow stay out of prison until November. If she drops out, whoever remains will be a sacrificial lamb.
And I think that even if you had the attention of the whole nation, your warnings about Trump would be noted – and he’d win anyhow. Where you really can do some good is in your area of expertise. This will be a new administration, and I can see from thousands of miles away that it will be a Trump administration.
And this new administration will be headed by a guy with an ego the size of Ganymede, who likes pageantry and big flashy things with his name on them, who says he wants to Make America Great Again. Right now his policy team is very small, and they probably don’t have a space policy yet. This is the time to be changing the game, redirecting NASA to things like propellant depots and space-based solar power – sometime before Trump makes a slew of off the cuff remarks about space.
In your shoes, I’d be doing everything I could to actually be Trump’s space policy advisor.
There are thing I do in private that I don’t do in public, but I don’t undergo a complete personality transplant. People who do that are show people and con artists.
” People who do that are show people and con artists.”
It has been constantly said that Candidate X, is different person in one on one meeting, or even in small gathering of people.
And many people will say that politicians are “show people and con artists”.
Trump seems fairly consistent. Comedians can talk like Trump- in order for that to work, people have know how Trump behaves.
Ms Clinton is famous for speaking with southern accent when talking to southern crowd whereas Trump is Trump.
Clinton wants to put coal miners out of work, and she imagines she is doing them a favor.
Trump has no reason nor will to put coal miners out of work, rather he want more coal mining done because he realizes that for America to be great, the US must produce more energy, and even becoming energy export nation, rather import energy from unstable and tyrannic which are hostile to US interests.
I imagine Trump is fairly skeptical about space exploration and expanding Earth’s economic sphere into space and imagine Trump tends to look for quick fixes rather than anything requiring decades. Unfortunately, fully utilizing the space environment is more of long term goal than short term goal.
Therefore I would sell idea of space exploration on basis of fully utilizing NASA. Which btw is no different than what I have saying for years. Or we pay a lot money to NASA and it’s not using the money in wise fashion.
I would say NASA is not the solution but challenge that require work to fix and straighten out, so NASA could begin exploring space for usable resources [explore Moon to find commercially minable water, then explore Mars]. That Bush II had a general plan but Bush failed to get the ball going on it.
Basically what Trump needs is the right NASA administer.
I don’t have much opinion of who that could be. It seems possible one can even use Bolden. One would have to give him a clear direction- and he has to want to do it.
Have you seen Jupiter Ascending? Privately, I’m the guy with the rocket boots!
