Donald Al Jerem: Why does Trump win?
His opponents are beaten and confused. They are studying opinion polls, renting advisers and collecting alliances. Their critic permeates TV. However, the central question remains. Why does President Trump continue to win?
He challenges the possibilities over and over again, rewriting his political obituary with all a new victory. Critics cannot understand. The political class has no answers. Academic analysis fails over and over again. They are looking for weakness and only. They are looking for retreat and finding his intention to progress. They expect regret and get the challenging confrontation.
Trump wins because he is not just a politician; It is a phenomenon, a model. It is transformative, solution, uncompromising, reckless, concentrated, not afraid, unable and not asleep. He is the master of the media, and is surrounded by committed slaves who embrace his message and methods.
Most people alive have not seen an American president for this Timbre, Temerity or Mood. It is likely to see any of us again. Despite everything that is aimed at, Trump continues to win. He not only challenges the conference, but destroys it. From foreign affairs to fiscal policy, it has reshaped Washington – in fact, the world – to a new American model.
Unlike other presidents who rule with one eye on history and the other for the voting numbers, Trump rules both eyes of the prize: power and results. He understands, instinctively, what Machiavelli presented centuries ago – that it is better for the prince to be afraid of love, if not both of them. Fear and respect are the twin currencies to lead it, and it is osteoporosis.
Trump wins because he does not give up the battlefield. It does not give a narration. He never surrendered. He is always fighting everywhere, with weapons of discourse, scene and endurance, and he left nothing but treated. He refuses to play with the rules written by his enemies, and move quickly the storm while others convey notes. His critics only expand him with all opposition.
Each era has an intermediary. Roosevelt rule. Kennedy is fluent in TV. Obama harnessed digital data. Trump orders social media easily, bypassing the gate guards and speaking directly to millions.
Once, the chiefs of journalists. Trump commands them. Once, the press has set the agenda. Trump is the agenda. In a 24-hour news course, it is the permanent-continuous story that cannot be avoided.
Most leaders are looking for safety in consensus. Trump flourishes in the conflict. He welcomes the opposition, absorbs hostility, and transmits adversity to an advantage. Where others wander under a scandal, Trump is stronger. Where others are recruited with criticism, Trump is encouraged.
These are Churchill’s challenge things: “Never give up. Never, never, never.” “A man in the arena” remembers Theodore Roosevelt, marred by dust, sweat and blood, but dares greatly. Trump flourishes in the square – unlike many, he enjoys dust.
Every isolation, every investigation, every indictment, all aimed at destroying it, made it more flexible and huge.
Also, Trump’s victory is not limited to policies or elections; It is cultural, psychological and civilizational. He revealed the fragility of institutions one day believed to be invincible and destroy the cortex of non -survey elites. He revealed the gap between the convicts and the conservatives, as democracy was reformulated as a competition for the will more than a bases.
Like most transformational movements, its legacy is double edges. The disorder is active, but it shakes stability. It disturbs the allies, hearts and non -deadly traditions. But it is undoubtedly strong. Trump’s forces are questions that others escape: What is the leadership? What is legitimacy? What is America’s fate in this century?
Trump wins because he is unique. Where others comment, announce. Where others postpone, decide. Where others retreat, progress. He does not ask for permission or apologize. He does not wander. Obama gave America “the boldness of hope.” Trump usually gave her boldness.
Trump every instinct is to pay further than that, fight more strongly and demand more. Hope looks up. The audacity tends forward, and Trump never stops fighting.
He wins because he embodies the audacity in the era of shyness. He wins because he leads the theater in an era of fluctuating men. He wins because his opponents reduce his faults and even his strength. He wins because America, in this era, requires more than managers or those in charge. The wrestler requires.
In the end, Trump wins because he mastered an old truth: the leaders are not measured by the titles he holds, but by the tide. Trump has turned into tide in foreign policy, economics, media and culture. He turned his enemies upside down and his followers’ expectations were convinced.
Trump’s opponents will continue to walk in a loss of loss, and are looking for explanations. They will write books, hold seminars, boxes committees and talk on TV. They will blame voters, order, and the press – even the same divine care.
But the truth is simpler: they lost because he won. Trump wins because America entered the audacity, Herld, which was not limited.
For the better or for the worse, whether you support or oppose it, it is transformed by Trump tidal and the islands, and it can be said that it is the world. Whether history records everything as a victory or a tragedy, nothing will dare to call it small.
