Donald Trump
😍Love him?
😱Hate him?

Who cares?
You're here to build influence and income streams.

Here's what hustlers can learn about Trump's methods of persuasion
👇
🅽🅸🅲🅷🅴 🅳🅾🆆🅽

Trump enjoys polarizing language
-My team vs Their team
(e.g. patriots / socialists)

Willing to lose the unwinnable in order to engage the reachable.
-not every follower will be part of your 'tribe'
-define your tribe clearly for greater loyalty

Trump loves word pictures

Example: environmental policy
-he avoided academic and esoteric

Instead: Comedic convo
-couple sitting at home
-wind not blowing
-no electricity
-so, no TV

The concrete idea in the picture did the heavy lifting

Not in the 'picking fights' sense
(although he likes that too)

Trump speaks in *concrete* examples,

Like in the story above, how does policy 'x' affect
-you?
-your kids?
-your economy?
-your well-being?

Are YOU using concrete examples?

Social Proof and Personal Testimony
Let someone ELSE make your point for you.

(E.g. ) Trump could ARGUE the benefits of Freedom

OR

Have Ji Seong-ho stand up at the 2018 SOTU address
And recount his harrowing escape to freedom

People do not remember long, rambling explanations.

Keep it pithy.
Bumper-sticker short.
It was pithy phrases that moved the needle in 2016.

'MAGA'
'build the wall'

And then there was that dig at Hillary in the debate:

Your Tribe is your connection to your followers.
Your BRAND is what you have to offer them.
➡️product
➡️idea
➡️service
➡️experience

The more clearly your brand is articulated, the more easily someone can connect to it.

That hat is recognized on sight.

Trump uses what I've dubbed a 'Lightning Rod' tweet

For example:
'Very Stable Genius'

It took heat but accomplished something.

👀 It created a buzz.

The OTHER points he was making in that thread?

They got noticed, too. (Winning)

(Last one!)

Trump uses simple words and phrases.

Why Simple language?
➡️More persuasive
➡️More memorable
➡️Packs more punch
➡️Won't lose the hearer
