Precisely. The thing about complex systems is that a tiny touch in the right place can change the system state beyond recognition. Trump's been doing it 140 characters at a time and it's driving his opposition absolutely nuts.
“Trump’s been doing it 140 characters at a time ...”
The significance of this will eventually be realized, even by his political enemies, when the history of his Presidency is written. FDR is lionized about his “fireside chats” as an effective way to speak directly to the people. Trump’s use of Twitter is a mega-paradigm shift. And I hope they mentioned how the MSM and the entrenched political class was begging him to stop using it after the election so he could “look more Presidential.” He never listened to them - to his great advantage.
What might be less written about is contrasting the much older Trump’s use of technology against Mr Technology himself - wunderkind BHO. All the reports about how BHO used technology to get elected, how his mastery of technology was never seen before by a President and was a game-changer and allowed BHO to connect to the people like never before. After he was out of office it came out millions of his on-line “followers” weren’t real persons - phoney and fake, just like him. A 70 year man who grew up in an entirely different technological world, mastered and used something supposedly “owned by the young” - and well beyond “genius BHO” could even imagine.
Trump’s election is truly remarkable in so many ways, this is just one of them. A black swan historical event that totally upset and continues to upset the status quo. BHO’s legacy is melting away faster than the wicked witch.
