THE ART OF THE IMAGE - By Bernard Bujold - Donald Trump's mastery of imagery played an essential role in his return to the White House. In many ways, Trump was not just a candidate navigating the 2024 election race but the executive producer of his own political comeback.  In a way, I admire his techniques because I've been a PR professional myself for several periods of my career in politics and business. I've rarely seen leaders with such a talent for communicating. To call it mere political imagery is to underestimate the importance and difficulty of this element. Successful political campaigning has become entertainment and image-making all over the planet, as has the world of news media.  If anyone is a master of modern imagery, it's Donald Trump.  SEE FULL REPORT IN THE NEW YORK TIMES https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/us/politics/trump-visual-imagery.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qE4.-K6R.mNRWalacrdSm&smid=url-share

CONDO UNDER THE FLORIDA SUN and THE DARK SIDE OF POLITICS...  Ivanka Trump said she quit Washington and moved to a $24 million Miami mansion to protect her kids from ‘Darkness’ of Politics. She also added: “My father (Donald Trump) is different and he loves politics... He got so much energy, support, and excitement. And I think the four years since 2020 has really allowed him to calibrate, you know, how he wants to spend these next four years now. And he’s incredibly excited and enthusiastic.”  SEE THE FULL STORY  https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/ivanka-trump-donald-politics-miami-house/

MY WAY -  By Bernard Bujold -  I love working out at the gym listening to Frank Sinatra, and even more so on this weekend of festivities before Donald Trump is sworn in on Monday, January 20, 2025. ​It was while listening to Sinatra's s​o​ngs that I realized Donald Trump, Elon Musk​, and I have ​one ​thing ​i​n ​c​ommon: our vision of life, which is to choose our own way of living. As Sinatra sings in MY WAY: “... what would a man be if he didn't stand up for his opinions? In the end, we are all alone in our destiny!” Donald Trump's life journey is an inspiration and an example of a man who listened to his instincts and lived “MY WAY”.  Have a great weekend...
