“I think Donald Trump is very uninterested in his business. In the past he would be talking up his business, but since the election, I've seen almost a laser-like focus on his job as president. What gets him lit up the most in any conversation is bringing jobs into these midwestern states that have suffered because of technology and trade policies.” ThinkingStatesWould BeJobsPastPresidentTalkingTechnologyFocusPolicyTrumpConversationElectionTradeLitLasersUninterested Author:Christopher Ruddy
“I don't think Trump is naïve about the Russians... I don't see him giving any chips away. Trump is a much better negotiator than Vladimir Putin. He is not going to be taken.” ThinkingGivingTakenTrumpChipsPutin Author:Christopher Ruddy
“People generally have the idea that Donald Trump is a great communicator. And the press has acknowledged this guy has extraordinary communication skills. I think what doesn't come through is his humility. I know some people might laugh at that comment, and he likes promoting his brand. But at times he can be extremely humble. He likes people and wants to help people.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantIdeasHelpingMightGuyLaughingHumilityCommunicationTrumpSkillsPressesExtraordinaryHumbleLikesBrandsCommunication SkillsCommentThis GuyPromotingCommunicators Author:Christopher Ruddy

“Donald Trump moves in two parallel tracks at the same time. There's the controversial political guy that's always out there with his tweets. He comes from a showbiz background, as well as a very successful career in finance and real estate. He loves sometimes the controversy more than some people - the press thinks they're totally aggravating him. He sometimes thrives on the public controversy and the hitting back. Meanwhile, he's very results-oriented. He knows that the American people are going to judge him by his performance on the economy, on jobs, on national security.” PeopleThinkingRealSometimesMovingPoliticalGuyEconomySuccessfulSecurityJudgingTrackFinanceThriveNational SecurityControversyControversialTweetShowbizSuccessful CareerAggravating Author:Christopher Ruddy
