Donald Trump: The Man and Stable Genius

Once upon a time, a Man descended from a set of stairs with a very important message for his fellow citizens. What he didn’t know was that his message would be almost completely ignored and that the few that were listening were going to laugh out loud on his face. What those who ignored and laughed at him didn’t understand was that he was serious about his message, that he was going to end what he had started and that he would prove them all wrong. Little by little, The Man, who was laughed at and ignored by almost everyone, began to turn heads, raise eyebrows and get lots of attention. He had all the means in his hands to crush everyone in his path, yet he decided to get his message across like everyone else had done before. He devised a campaign to let people of all ages, ethnicities, social and economic classes know that they had been lied to for too long, that their country was like an immense ocean plagued with sharks and gigantic Jurassic reptiles who had dominated the waters forever. In doing so, they had squeezed the life out of their country and were now in the process of handing it away to foreign interests. The reality of a decaying country was not new. It had been exposed for years by people with the same concern. Those people had been ignored in the same way The Man was when he made his announcement. They had been laughed at and they had been attacked in the same way he knew he would be attacked. The man, a prolific businessman, though not perfect by any means, had learned a lot throughout his life as he had been part of the favoured classes he was about to face off.  One of the lessons he had learned in his life was that, before you are able to earn the support of anyone, on any single issue, you first needed to help potential supporters understand why your ideas and plans are relevant to them. In other words, you needed to make them understand WHY. Before this man could be successful in his campaign he had to deal with a dilemma: he was going to have to continue being himself -straightforward, uncensored, aggressive- or he was going to change his ways to avoid upsetting some feelings; especially those of people who couldn’t handle reality, who were used to being talked down, softly, calmly… He chose to be himself and to speak straightforwardly. His campaign began and he singlehandedly took on his rivals, both on the media, within his political party and in other political groups. One by one, his rivals began to fall as his support began to skyrocket.  His rise was almost impossible to explain, at least in the mind of rivals and detractors. His words were too hurtful and his discourse too blunt and, in many cases, offensive, they said.  But it was exactly his words, his straightforwardness and bluntness what was refreshing to millions of fellow citizens who immediately connected with his message, his plans and his personality. To the amazement of his critics, a lot of his support came from people who, given his discourse, should have felt offended, outraged and repulsed by his words. Only the mentally damaged, who had been indoctrinated into following an ideology, a political group, a personality, or worse, to blindly believe their elected representatives, were unable to see through his message. Many of those who ultimately supported him during the campaign, disliked his manners, his use of certain words or his outspoken style. Many of his late supporters found it refreshing that he was so clear in his message because they thought exactly the same as he did. For many of his new supporters, the difference between him and others was that they had found someone who thought just like they did, who spoke just like they did, and who apparently, wanted the same thing they wanted: to put America First. The Man defeated all his rivals, first in the media, though he never engaged in a fight with any of them personally. That, he would leave for later.  The Man’s message was so strong and so clear as to what his goal was –Make America Great Again– that he also defeated his rivals in his party, even though they outspent him at all levels. While his defeated rivals and the media attacked him for his alleged racism, xenophobia and discriminatory discourse, his numbers didn’t stop rising. In fact, they rose faster when attacked, when called racist or xenophobe.  The media and his rivals couldn’t comprehend that their country had a taste for a man who was totally the opposite of what previous men and women in his place had professed and done. Were all of his followers racists and xenophobes as well? This distortion of reality was what the media used as their next weapon against a rising figure who they began to hate because the more they attacked him, the more successful he became.  They brought known “experts” on their shows to try to salvage their image and that of those candidates they supported, but that didn’t work either. While The Man continued to gain support and to defeat more rivals, the media sought to affiliate themselves, now more than ever, with an agenda that had been somehow hidden behind their […]
