Self-promotion is a skill. And he is very skilled at it.
But the largest reason he was able to obtain the presidency is that he was born to Fred Trump, who gave him almost half a billion dollars.
Self-promotion is a skill, but I disagree that he is skilled at it. A skill is something that remains unless it is a physical one or unless you lose mental ability to do it. Trump has lost his ability to self-promote successfully ONLY because we are becoming more and more aware that he's been a liar all these years. That makes it not a skill. He can not successfully promote any more simply because we all know who he really is.
He will keep supporters because they are stupid and racist, but his ability...his skill...to deceive is over.
When he began his bid for the White House and he mentioned that because he was so rich that he didn't have to be beholden to any special interest groups, I thought..."man, that's a very alluring fact." I didn't want to vote for him of course, but until I learned more about him, I bought that he was wealthy and successful. He had fooled me. That ability...that skill...is over.
So, I will submit he WAS skilled at getting what he wanted through lying. That skill has been whittled away for years now, beginning with US banks who haven't given him loans for years, and now the curtain has been pulled, revealing a man with NO skills.
