As always, he who wishes to reach the most rarefied and potent ranks must be in control; his opponents are in disarray, reduced in numbers and engaged in an internal struggle, where fear and power do not peacefully coexist - The relationship of love to aggression and violence.
Unafraid of a good fight. The President and his party have firm control over congress and the ability to push through ambitious plans. His fame frame, unlike that of most other mega stars rests very much on people who love to hate him and others who hate to love him - He will always stay personally popoular. What sets him apart is his disregard, in some cases contempt, for the dictates of fashion. Revelling in presidential power and influence unseen in Washington for decades, The political matrix at the height of his power commands a certain above-the-fray quality, a certain serenity. It is a level of influence and power for a president that is literally unprecedented. He is someone who is highly charged, and, unlike most people, he neither disguises it nor is ashamed of it, he is curious, independent and thoughtful, completely an expression of himself, he exhibits, explores, and displays it, and feels no compunction about doing so publicly. Having created some definitive benchmarks which has given him the power to force an overhaul, giving him political capital to undertake big challenges; and more often than not he wins. He never follows anyone else’s lead, just his own original energy. If he handles it right it could be his century.
