"President Donald Trump is a 'master' of Twitter, according to the company's co-founder Ev Williams. 'What Trump has done with Twitter is pretty genius, frankly'..." cnn.com/2019/05/22/tec… Wow. I disagree. It's not genius or mastery, but a lack of shame + the platform of POTUS.
Two years ago, I wrote about another version of this belief: that he is some kind of media genius. pressthink.org/2017/05/gettin… "Trump is exceptional, but this is different from saying he is a masterful. In fact, he’s a compulsive. Which is the opposite of mastery."
From me in 2017. "Everything explained by attributing to Trump some genius for the media arts is better explained by his utter shamelessness, his malignant narcissism— and his indifference to being the clown figure."
It's the need to believe in his genius that we should examine.
