I was thinking about why it's important to debunk the idea that he's a Perceiver. I don't think Perceivers are more inherently skilled at things than Judgers in general. Maybe slightly in some things on average while Judgers are slightly better at other things on average. But Trump has built a fake image of himself as this wheeler and dealer type businessman who can make "deals" happen as if by magic.
I don't think there is anyone that can do this. But Trump has essentially sold himself as a superhero with the superpower of impromptu deal-making and decision-making. But that's all it is - it's a sales pitch,
deceptive self-marketing at the most basic level, where he sells himself as a Perceiver.
What he actually does is
stage things to make it look this way. The guy's a general moron but one thing he has been successful at doing is making this pitch that he can walk into a room and make things happen in a way that other people can't. Yet how it works in reality is he either:
- Knows how something is going to end and plans for it to end that way, while making it look like he made it happen with his deal-making superpower
- Sets a goal ahead of time, and gets his loyal minions scrambling to make it happen, ready to swoop in and act like he's the one who made it happen in the first place, again through his superpower
To see people type him as ESTP generally indicates that they've bought into the deceptive charade that he has this superpower. Because once you see that he is
not a late decider who keeps things open for improvisation, I believe it becomes obvious what he actually is: an ESTJ.
