Donald Trump has been elected as the 45th President of the United States of America. I know it sounds weird saying that. It felt even more weird typing it. The Same Donald Trump that got famous for the words “you’re fired” is going to be leading the Greatest nation in the world. How can this happen?
This is how, the American people were fed up with a system that was filled with politicians who were being put in place by huge campaign donors, who had the resources to infiltrate the air waves with ads for their guy. Then these elected politicians will work for the people who donated the funds rather then the people who he was elected to represent. Then the odd sum of them would go on to be crooked in some form or get caught up in some ridiculous scandal.
This election, they had the standard bearer politician but they already was caught making mistakes and poor choices in the roles they were chosen to fulfill prior to their campaign aka Hilary Clinton. She was engulfed with controversy, her husband, the foundation, her emails, her top aides. Everything around her was crooked, nothing was peaceful.
Then we had another guy on the other side. Who wasn’t backed by any large donors. Who was attacking and pointing out the flaws of his opponents. Not sharing anything prepared but just mercilessly attacking the weaknesses of his opponents.
He showed some bravado, some charismatic traits, no experience in the political arena but experience in showmanship and selling himself to not be better then anyone but not as worse as what was available to the American public.
He wasn’t influenced by any big campaign donors, he envoked fear into his own party. He backed himself when no one was backing him. He said the ridiculous things no one would say but it all pointed him towards the most powerful seat in the land.
The American people wanted change, a change from the standard politician. A change from Bush,Clinton and Obama. A change that has never occurred in America in the last 20 years. They elected a billionaire real estate mogul as the next President. They have entrusted him to Carry on the legacy of that Prestigious office.
An office that has a history of being marred by scandals, that has been caught up in war propaganda. An office that was friendly to big business. An office that was never safe but just hanging on by a thread.
The American People , the last 16 or so years has allowed for a Donald Trump to seize the present moment. He will get his four years, it’s only fair but hopefully everyone was paying attention to how he came to be. It was the people before him who allowed this to happen. It was the churning of disappointment after disappointment of broken promises by those standard bearer politicians who didn’t sound convincing enough selling their own policies.
Hopefully that future president is currently watching and waiting to seize his or her moment in 4 years. Maybe 8 but hopefully they are waiting and watching on how to achieve such status here in America, through disappointment and fear or through hard work and real goals and policy making.
Today we live in A Trump presidency, it’s allowed, he did nothing illegal. He played by the rules and the system wasn’t rigged, it allowed him to get the throne. It only means ,that future president watching this today can set themselves up really well, if they sell policy, if they remain controversy free and if they believe in themselves and bettering America, they too can hold the highest seat in the land. Good luck and God Bless.
