I feel like that is not even remotely true. Just looking at stats of cspan shows that people don’t want to watch politics that much.

People dont care about policy, and great leaders dont have so much disorder they need to be in front of the nation daily.

But we’ve seen how much the general public likes drama though. Look how people tune into Jersey shore or Real Housewives by the millions. That is where Trump is operating.

A reasonable discussion would be whether we want the people we elect to build our society should be as focused on ratings and coverage as the producers of trash tv.

And trumps operating style reminds me of this skit: https://youtu.be/3ss-59fi4nM

He is watched by non-idiots because they can’t believe how idiotically he behaves.
