Taylor: Donald Trump’s Refreshing Lack of a Filter
This election season is going to be all sorts of entertaining – with six Republican candidates already announcing their candidacies and many more GOP darlings soon to jump into the ring. Included in the latter group? World famous real estate mogul Donald Trump.
Recently, though, I’ve come to appreciate his complete lack of filter when talking about politics.
It’s because people appreciate being told things straight. And Donald Trump does just that – he doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s like the one friend we all have that says “you look fat in that dress.” You may not want to hear it at the time, but you appreciate after the fact that he didn’t let you go out looking like a train wreck.
Trump has a knack for saying exactly what the other politicians want to say – and are probably thinking – but are too scared to actually say it. It’s unfiltered truth that resonates with people who have “heard it all before,” and Trump has a unique ability to tap into this audience.
Trump comes from a background that is completely unique. He is not a Jeb Bush, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, or Ben Carson. Donald Trump is Donald Trump. He will bring something to the 2016 election that no one else can – the harsh truths and smart quips that no one else is going to dare delivering to the voters.
