Misconceptions About President Trump

It has been a few months and both the press and opposition have not figured out President Donald Trump. Let alone why Trump won the election. Lets clear some misconceptions:

1) Rural / Country Votes Defeated Hilary

Not enough rural votes to matter. The Democrats struggled with the Suburbs. People on government support voted for Hilary, the people who pay the taxes did not.

Hilary won California by 4 million votes. She lost the other 49 states by 2 million votes.

2) Expecting President Donald Trump Will Act Like a Politician

Donald Trump won the election despite the Republican Party, despite the Press, and despite the Democrats being incumbents. He ran as an Anti-politician. He has said outrageous and provocative statements to shake up the election. Look at his selected Alpha business CEO advisors who get things done to lead his government. They will act very different than politicians.

3) Donald Trump Will Stop Responding to Criticism

Donald does not operate under  ‘attack each other to a draw’ politics of the last 20 years. He will respond like a Media star.

Obama tried to ignore the unfair ‘Birther’ attacks during his presidency. Donald Trump responded forcefully to the unfair ‘Illegitimate President’ personal attack no matter how respected the speaker is.

He will respond forcefully no matter how important the Country criticizing him.

4) The Republican Party is in Charge

Donald Trump is not stuck on an ideology. He is a Moderate. While rare in DC these days, still very common among non-politicians. He will take allies where he can get them on each issue. While the Republican Party is weak, per Chuck Todd “The Democratic Party is in Disarray, and is Irrelevant.”

5) Donald Trump is a Negotiator

Master negotiators have an agenda, do not reveal everything up front, and read the opposition before reacting. He is use to people playing hardball with him. Has progressed through life he has accumulated power, and negotiated at different levels of power. Not much will throw him.

Expect outrageous opening positions in public. But people & governments who want to work with the US will find a reliable partner. Government who try to overpower the USA will be rebuffed. Deals are made where both sides can Save Face.

Government negotiations will change from the weak tactics used by the last administration. President Trump has the advantage President Bush 43 had has ‘The Cowboy’. No one is certain what he would do.

6) President Donald Trump Does Not Owe the Establishment

The people who elected the President are the Unprotected. Average working people who pay taxes who use to be The Silent Majority. These citizen are his clients.

Not even sure he will want a second term, unless his supporters request him.

President Trump’s first term is not about being reelected. It will be Getting Changes Done. Expect things will be different in DC.

Losing

The protesters are complaining President Elect Trump is “not their president”. Immediate thought “Whiners”. (Never naturally “PC”)

Technically they are right, President Obama does not turn over the position until January 20^th. They have a couple months until he will be President #45 Donald J. Trump, and everyone’s president.

BTW this is nothing new. Remember people saying the same thing when Obama won, Bush won, Clinton won, and back till I was young. And if you think this campaign was crude, you never read editorials from Yellow Journalism from the late 1800s, and from Colonial times. Our forefathers did the same.

It hurts to lose. You were so sure you were right. This was the year for your team. Then it does not go your way. Sometimes a close one, other times you get creamed. Someone else gets promoted. The person you wanted dates someone else. You get outbid on a home. The joke falls flat. We have all been there.

What really hurts is finding out people do not think your way. It is logical to you. Their choice is logical to them. Colleges are into groupthink. They are misleading their students about the real world. When I went to college it was expected other people thought about thing differently. Now saying it may get you punished.

Some of us choose to lose. We play against more experienced and talented players. We take chances. Write songs and posts no one hears or reads. Even after years of practice, still see horrible sentences with incomprehensible meanings. OMG I really wrote that? Afraid so.

The reason it is okay to lose, that is how you learn. Trial and error and error and error teaches us.

It is okay to vent and protest. That is why we have free speech. Go ahead and talk about it. Every says, “It is not fair.” Work can suck.

What is not okay is breaking car, business and home windows. That is not influential. That person probably voted for your candidate. They believed what you believed. Now you damaged their property and they have to pay for it.

Anarchist does not mean power. Anarchist is a “petty criminal” who needs to grow up.

Remember January 20^th President Trump.

BTW voted, but for 3^rd party. My vote was a protest.

The American people have spoken. 

They don't want very Conservative views, or they would have picked a different primary candidate. They did not want extreme Liberal views or would have been a runaway vote for an experienced candidate. The people voted against the existing political arguments.

They voted for the candidate who believes in the average working person. Pundits are missing the reason for the enthusiastic rallies. They voted for the person who believes in them.
