We Americans or so called intellectual Americans could not even entertain the idea to endorse Trump; how could we and he came across to "intellectuals" as the ultimate Un-American, the ultimate rude and unpolished, the ultimate joker and populist demagogue and people attacker and an American unleashed pit bull; the man said on tape " grab women by the P***Y"; But, ironically, without women vote, Trump would not have been even close to be elected.
No way, it would have been inconceivable and the ultimate political incorrectness to endorse such person for president of the United States.
A person who attacked the same system that elected him president; the man attacked the electoral college and called it rigged; said that we needed in previous elections to have gone by the popular vote; a man who lost popular vote to Hillary and won the electoral college.
A complete populist demagogue; a Niccolò Machiavelli Prince
But we could not see anything beyond that shallow shield and slogan. We could not see that people across ethnic lines felt left out, for some reason left out, although America has been strong and the economy recovered under Obama. We could not see that people like change, like to spice up their lives, get tired of same old same, same old faces, same talk, same elitist career politicians telling us how we should behave and how we should talk and how we should look if we want to succeed. Like someone once told me, 'we need some trash in our lives from time to time' and here comes Trump to provide the trash we need, he attacked everything and said almost everything that did not sound right or correct. He was the ultimate populist demagogue that some other countries chose during periods of times. and until now.
The stupidest thing we did in predicting the outcome of the US Presidential elections is to go by the conventional wisdom; Nothing was conventional about our 2016 Presidential elections. The other two outcomes were:
America now cannot be too liberal and talking about unity is nonsense; every election has been around 50/50, nothing unusual; Trump was the only unusual thing in American politics
However, America is no different, people are people. People who embraced and endorsed Trump from the start and all along, saw in him a vindictive machine about anything frustrating in their lives, Trump delivered every trash Americans needed to attack the elitist or so called elites. Hillary's distrust and tricky politics provided Trump with the needed ammunition to attack a system and politicians he called corrupt; Trump in this particular case was not so far from reality, but the system is not corrupt, politicians by nature are and now Trump joined the same group he attacked.. As for Hillary, really another thing we ignored was her treacherous campaign against Bernie Sanders and the fact that she lost the Democratic primaries in 2008 to Obama. Hillary appeared strong but in fact her campaign and career were full of holes. But again we ignored all that.
Trump is a billionaire but not an elitist Harvard guy that could come across as out of touch or cold but as Pence said in the vice presidential debate Trump is "not a polished politician"; Americans loved the unpolished politician. Americans looking for extra spicy not mild which Trump during the presidential campaign provided. The rest of Republicans including the one we thought here would be the ultimate winner, Jeb Bush, crumbled and disappeared in front of Trump. Trump delivered the trash and the screams and the frustrations and the hate and brought to the surface the worst that exist in every human being, but again in the process people released their anger in a democratic way and at the ballot boxes.
Now, he is the President-elect and we will be experimenting with Trump; he could end up to be a goldmine for politics. We never had a president like Trump before, coming really from nowhere and providing no concrete policies or platform to govern and being elected to the highest office in the land.
Maybe Trump will give the trial and error that we love to use and see how things go, provide precedents which, again, we love to have to start, establish or avoid things in the future; Trump is the vehicle now for everything we did not have or ignored before or he might be nothing but the same old same.
Who knows now, maybe Trump will be the ultimate American and will make a positive change across the country and will keep America the nation among nations and the shining city upon a hill like Ronald Reagan once said or Trump will turn out to be the ultimate fraud we have never had or seen.
