Trump is masterfully turning the tables on “Political Correctness”. The power of political correctness has been the fact that it is a form of “Legitimized Bullying” for the purpose of herding people into “Proper beliefs and thoughts”. As a result the majority live in fear of even accidentally committing a “thought crime”, and losing our bakeshop, flower shop, career etc.
I believe the main reason for Trumps popularity is that he has dared to step away from the herd and has been turning on and attacking anyone who tries to bully him back into place. Trump refuses to play by their rules. When they attack him it is he who profits, and they who are fired.
I am beginning to see a renewal of confidence in many people who have up until now been cowed into submission. I believe the media and liberal overseers are beginning to sense this unrest, and are frightened.
We are living in interesting times.
And he has the personal business history (made billions means he is no dummy) to show he has gravitas. He is already 'proven'. Most running for office have proved nothing. How is a lawyer who was in the senate proof they will be a good leader? A CEO like Trump has lead complex businesses in good and bad times and came out ahead. That adds weight to his insults. If Trump calls you a dummy - what proof does a politician have they are not? A law diploma?
