I just watched Trump open the NYSE and give an ad hoc interview with Jim Cramer on CNBC. So, let's talk about Trump as a Communicator.
Roosevelt and his Fireside Chats changed the way that a President communicated with the Country.
Kennedy ushered in the Television Age as an immediate telegenic star.
Reagan (probably most like Trump) was the Great Communicator with his relaxed presence in front of crowds and cameras.
Trump is Reagan on steroids. I cannot think of a President in the past or a President in the future who has given as many interviews and public appearances as Trump has. He even reminds me of Winston Churchill during WWII (public appearance wise) in his effort to be in as many places as possible during trying times.
And I loved Trump's Meet the Press interview with an aggressive Kristen Welker. She asked him about the fear that he will seek retribution against his political enemies.
His answer: The Success of this Administration will be my Retribution.
As long as Trump holds that attitude he has a chance to elevate his historical standing- Dare I say with some of the names above.
