Trump knows marketing

Sat., April 2, 2016

Experts have been surprised and shocked at how well Donald Trump has done, partly because of the crude manner he has run his campaign. I think Trump did a pile of research on how best to reach the fed-up majority in this nation and has implemented it to a T.

To say that people have had it with all politicians is an understatement. He has honed his approach to reach these people in a truly masterful marketing campaign. It remains to be seen as president if he will follow through on his rhetoric or just return to being The Donald.
