This exchange just occurred:
Reporter: “Mr. President, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez called you a racist.”
Trump: “Who did?”
Reporter: “Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez.”
Trump: “Who cares?”
For Ocasio-Cortez, everyone is a "racist." It is a complete waste of time to try to convince her otherwise.
Meanwhile, she has a knowledge base of zero, yet considers herself qualified to restructure the entire U.S. economy.
She is trying (with some success) to build up her celebrity status.
Engaging with her gives her what she wants.
Dismissively ignoring her with a wave of the hand, therefore, is exactly the right approach. It deprives her of the fuel that keeps her going.
Note that Trump doesn't ignore Elizabeth Warren, who's running for president. Today he pounded her with ridicule on Twitter.
I'm reading Ben Settle's new book, which I think is available only to his subscribers, called Copy Troll, where he lays out a whole system regarding when and how to respond to people who attack you and, most importantly, how to profit from the exchange.
Isn't that the juiciest possible revenge?
Rapper Talib Kweli inadvertently paid for one of my trips to New York with my kids, where we saw multiple Broadway shows and had a blast.
Doesn't it sound like fun?
'Cause it is.
But you can't join the fun until you get yourself set up with an online revenue stream.
Here's the best training material I know of to get you exactly where you want to be.
And my biggest bonus -- a look inside the guts of my own business -- is being withdrawn at 10pm Eastern tonight.
