The look of hurt on his face when someone asked a question about Iran instead of the ballroom was priceless

"Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management who is one of the nation's premier CEO whisperers, is out today with "Trump's Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox," including "Reducing Complexity to Simplicity" and "The Role of Grandeur, Image, and Heroic Aura."

Why it matters: "Like him, loathe him, or try in vain to look past him, Trump is the most consequential leader on the planet right now," Sonnenfeld told me. The professor calls his book an "objective leadership analysis by [someone] who has known him for a quarter century."

Sonnenfeld met Trump in 1992. The mogul's trademark seduction began: The two later conversed at Trump Tower, over lunch at one of Trump's golf clubs, at the Connecticut home of Larry Kudlow, and at a Sonnenfeld CEO summit at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan.

Based on all those years of studying Trump, Sonnenfeld says the tactics include "divide and conquer, the sleeper effect of constantly repeating false information with unshakable confidence, starting negotiations by giving the other side a bloody nose rather than a handshake of trust, centralizing all power [in your own hands], personal grandiose branding on everything."

The bottom line: "The key insight about how Donald Trump leads is that he is the sun around which all else must revolve in the Trump solar system," Sonnenfeld concludes. "Power must not reside in institutions, collectives, or equals; all power must radiate from Trump himself. If he is not at the center of an event, then in his retelling, it is not important, or it did not happen."

"President Trump last night unveiled the first renderings of the presidential library he plans to build on prime Miami real estate after he leaves office.

A nearly two-minute video on Truth Social depicts it towering over the city's existing skyscrapers, suggesting the shrine could become the tallest building in South Florida.

The mock-ups show space for an Air Force One 747 jet, a Marine One helicopter and several other aircraft.

Plans also include a large golden statue of Trump in an auditorium (pictured below) and a golden escalator reminiscent of the one the president famously descended in 2015 at Trump Tower in Manhattan."

*I think it is very unfair and a sign of severe TDS to compare Trump to other megalomaniacs in history

So are you saying he also missed the mark on analyzing the inner Trump?

Yes. That "Trump leadership toolbox" has driven his tenure into the ground just one year into his second mandate, not much of a leader.

Trump leadership toolbox in action:

I guess it shows my bias against Trump because I interpreted that author's analysis as the perfect recipe for a meteoric rise and a meteoric fall.

If the author thinks his analysis compliments Trump, then he is as bat sh@it crazy as his subject because that play book has had no positive outcomes in history.
