Winston Churchill was a genocidal colonist. Mother Teresa made thousands suffer. Martin Luther King Junior had a mistress, JFK had many more. Ernest Hemingway was abusive to his wives. Theodore Roosevelt hated the natives, Christopher Columbus enslaved and butchered them. Lincoln was racist. So was Gandhi. These are some of the greatest minds, people, idols. Our heroes are measured on who they are, but what they achieve. I’m not endorsing horrific behaviour, but saints are made through suffering and change, not by tradition.
Donald J. Trump will be the one of the best presidents the United States have ever seen. He will divide the country, he will alienate some, and he will be an idol of hatred. But after his initial spiral downwards, he will create a unity amongst the country never seen before. This partisanship of the people will be brought out by his one main message; fighting the system. The system that had brought down so many, has destroyed lives and fought against change. The middle class of America is no more, what was once a vibrant prosperous nation is a void of personal debt, dead-end lives and hatred. The people, however, used the only thing they had, and on the 8th of November, the people of America realised that the American Dream is dead.
It's not what he's promised, but him as an idea; a never-elected before candidate won over a former First Lady, first woman candidate, Secretary of State. It's that he is the change people needed not because of what he says, but who he is. Now both parties are in disarray and complete malfunction because there's nothing stopping Trump 2.0 coming in 2020/2024. The parties, the government, Wall Street, the media now have to actually care about the working class, otherwise they will face demise.
His ideals, his policies do not matter, his ideas and engagement are just a medium for the people to actually get their voice heard. He won, not on hate, but for love of the American people who have nothing, but used to have everything. Trump, as a concept, will change politics forever, will change people's lives forever; and for most people, any change can only be good.
Trump is the American Dreams resurrection. It’s the notion that anyone can do anything. That the people can rise up and stop this cyclic system of capitalistic fascism. President-Elect Trump will pave a way for those outsiders and believers for years to come. Candidates like Sanders, like Stein, those who think differently than what the DNC or GOP want them to think, will have an actual change. Now is not the time for protests or violence. Now is the time for American Heroes, who will push the boundaries of the system, and begin a new wave of prosperity. Too long have the majority been pushed down, and now they know it. Donald J. Trump is not an idol of hatred, but an inspiration for how the hatred can change. He is the hope people need and he is the light to end their darkness.
There is no knowing whether he will achieve greatness, the only thing we now is, at the end of his tenure, how influential Barack Obama has been. He’s been a substantially good president, through criticism from the House and Senate, and he achieved not what was great, but what was hard. Now we carry on his message from one president to the next: Hope.
