Can Trump actually turn around and become the globalist to fuel a great legacy?
It seems improbable, but right now nothing is out of the question. As Trump chats it up with world leaders congratulating him, some for the very first time. I think we will begin to see a dramatic change in the so-called racist demagogue that many love to paint him as. While I understand those concerns all too well and agree with a lot of them, Trump is a master at manipulation in his own right. He can make anything look good! He can sell ice to Eskimos and it doesn't even have to be successful. As long as he DOES it! That's a win in his book.
For awhile now, I thought that if Trump was going to win (now he has) he has the alt-right populist advantage on his side. It's now more than the CTs and the fringers. It's the idiots that fall for click-bait trending social media stories, and spread fake websites around the world. It's also the same populist concerns that have been sweeping a lot of Europe and a lot of the rest of the first world countries. Donald Trump is in the unique position to carve out a very unique legacy for himself that no one really sees coming, not even him.
Most people are expecting him to fail and they will maximize any little stumble, while Trump will probably just brush it off. That would be a YHGUE mistake right? Though there is one thing I am waiting to see. I am waiting to see if he stands by those principles that his supporters claim he has. If his acceptance speech is any indication. I don't think he will.
