The difference between the Trump mindset and the previous prevailing political mindset may be quite simple - Trump doesn't wrap his intentions in pseudo-speak, he tells them like they are.
At least sometimes, with the exception of when he just wants to confuse his adversaries, whoever they may at the time be (work with me here - he's one of a kind after all).
For a politician, speaking the blunt but unpopular truth is big-time heresy. It also might be the first step toward moving politicians from the group responsible for the joke "How do you know when a politician is lying? - When you see his lips move" to a group in which we might actually place some credence in their promises (but don't hold your breath).
At least Mark Carney is apparently joining him (possibly temporarily) in speaking truth.
But will such an extreme revolutionary idea ever catch on?
