Trumpism versus Seemingly Honest (Traditional) Politics: Why is Trump a Winner?

Charles M

It is envisaged that Donald Trump won the US Presidential election due to his distinct political strategy, termed as Trumpism. Through comparative and critical thinking, two considerations have been suggested that could possibly answer the question of why Trump is a winner. First, Trump was not hesitant to state his views and beliefs even if these sounded radical; no sweet words, no inhibitions but sheer, raw transparency. Furthermore, Trump is sending a message that there is a limit to where you can arrive with diplomacy and partnership agreements in issues that are of immense importance to society like: uncontrolled immigration, ISIS terror and North Korean threats. This article can serve as a platform for thorough academic research on Trumpism. A survey on the US-Trump population followed by a number of focus group meetings can tell whether Trump was elected by default or because people really like/d his ideologies.
