Entertainment is nice to have around, but politics are serious business.
I think that is what made some people unable to accept Trump as a legitimate company candidate. The only impression they have had of him are likely the apprentice, and maybe his wrestling career. They may have even jumped on the dirty lies bandwagon, believing various lies about his character, because they just can’t take someone seriously who they have seen only as an entertainer. He lived a whole lifetime before that. He expressed at times that he wasn’t all business and no fun, and that was how he got started with doing movie and TV spots.
People who go into the arts as a driven soul, they are a different mindset, with other means of accomplishing, and an inability to have the mindset to perceive what goes into political and business successes. I don’t find most celebrities credible in their thinking on political stages.
A good example is Clint Eastwood. I love his work, not all, but most. However, in trying to be political, he is not a good choice.
People want mostly the same things, truly, but few realize what is required to have those things.
That is why some countries are constantly at war, and never find a leader who makes them all happy. Lots of people believe they know what is required to have a happy, well balanced community. As a result, they resent the measures taken by whomever is in power. They revolt. The leader will resort to awful things to maintain power. It is a cycle which is perpetual.
We all see things we don’t agree with, or approve of in our leaders, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad leaders, but simply imperfect humans.
I loathe talking politics, so, any rebuttal will not be answered by me.
See how that works? I’m stating an opinion, but not crusading.
