Trump might be re-elected as president
The winning secret of Trump lies in the sentiments of Americans. It is easy to prophesize the political outcome of any country specially when most of the public of that country is literate and aware of political benchmarks. The Americans fall in that category as they know the democracy and have good understanding of the outcome of political moves. They are not similar to the public of developing country where giving vote is an event and a tradition and no more. In America there is ideological and pragmatic politics. The canvassing for votes is done before the scholars, academicians, students of politics and senior politicians, besides the public comprehends where the particular candidate is leading to their country.
The slogans of trump match the psyche of American masses. They
want America first and be protected from the unwanted immigration which rob out
employment from them and they also want their copyrights safe and do not want
to abolish their monopoly in science and technology which they think is
secretly passing to china and other rival states. Moreover, they want America to
remain superpower and the leader of the globe. For all these desires to be
fulfilled the conservative style of government is required. A style that
protects their industry, secure their borders and talk like a bold leader
owning the world in its words at least. Trump has fulfilled most of the demands
for that. The construction of wall around the Mexican border, banning of
foreigners from entering America for long or permanent stay, adoption of
protectionism in commerce and trade, withdrawing from the global commitments
which they feel shall hurt American interests and controlling areas of
influence of adversaries e.g., south china sea, are all the manifestation of
trump’s ability to read American minds. The prompt withdrawal of American
troops from Afghanistan and non-interference in the proxy wars started by his predecessors
would save huge money and reduce the tax burden from the citizens of America.
This is another scoring point for the incumbent president.
Certainly, there are defects in trump’s
personality and style and there occurred failures in his handling of different
situations for example in controlling the pandemic covid-19 and recent eruption
of racism. But these are the unavoidable gaps found in each person. The question
here is not about the perfection of personality but capability of Donald Trump
to comprehend the psyche of Americans. It is here where one expects the winning
of Trump the next time.
