People want to be sold a story—a story of better jobs, better wages, better living conditions. A brighter future, a greater country. They don’t want to hear long, elaborate economic or social policies; they just want someone to say, “I will fix it.”
She seemingly checked all the boxes that would give her an edge with minority voters. But apparently, that didn’t happen. Instead, people put their faith in a convicted felon facing 34 counts, with a long history of falsifying business documents, ties to controversial figures, and multiple accusations of SA.
None of that—none of his past behavior, his problematic remarks, or his criminal record—mattered. At the end of the day, he is the man who managed to sell people the dream that he could fix it. That he could end wars in 24 hours, keep prices down, create jobs, and make the country great again. He might not be as eloquent as the prosecutor, but he succeeds at acting like a common man and speaking like one, even though he’s spent his entire life in a higher income bracket.
He managed to get his message across better than she did, and I think that was the deciding factor. At times, her campaign seemed more like “vote for me because you don’t want him to win.” But he did.
Going from multi-billionaire to president, losing an election, getting convicted, serving time, coming back, running for office again, and winning by a margin of 4 million votes might be one of the most legendary runs a politician has ever seen. That man now holds the most powerful position in the world. Someone who was laughed at as a clown in the last election cycle is now president. Again. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny him.
Hopefully, this presidency will unfold better than the last one.
