Dr. Phil knows how to get to the heart of the matter with anybody. Donald Trump knows that Dr. Phil is going to reveal Donald Trump in ways that are unique. Dr. Phil succeeded and it was truly a uniquely revealing interview.
The bottom line is that Dr. Trump does not filter his real personality when he speaks. He speaks what he really thinks as he is a very real person. He is far from perfect, but he knows it. That is perhaps one of the reasons why he resonates so much with the simple people across America despite being a wealthy multimillionaire.
Donald Trump’s habit of name-calling is both infantile and effective. His ability to communicate is simply uniquely fitting to so many American people. But in this interview, you get to see Donald Trump opening up a bit about the toll on his family. It doesn’t seem to bother Trump all that much because he is indeed rather narcissistic. But his narcissism also includes a healthy dose of genuine care for the everyday American. That is perhaps why so many people are willing to forgive Trump and vote for him despite the things that bother them about his personality.
