5 Lessons of Trump’s Victory

So here are the 5 lessons we can learn from Trump’s 2024 campaign.

1. Capacity to change.

Trump took into account everything that had lost him the 2020 election, learned from his mistakes, and changed course. Just one example out of many is that he abandoned his tendency to surround himself with losers and toadies. Instead, he attracted people who are stars in their own right and have their own large following. Musk, RFK, Joe Rogan. Like them or not, it’s undeniable that these are very successful dudes who have millions of fans. I heard Trump’s interview with Musk where Musk was saying things Trump couldn’t possibly agree with and Trump was holding himself in check. He was making a visible effort. And if he can do this at 78, we definitely can do it in our own lives.

Speaking of strong women, Trump handed his campaign and now the position of Chief of Staff to Susie Wiles, who is a very very strong lady. Kamala is a wallflower compared to this bulldozer of a woman.

2. Authenticity.

At every point, Trump is being himself. Again, good or bad, he’s being true to himself. He’s anything but fake, and people respond to that positively.

3. Turning personal flaws into advantages.

Listen to Trump’s account of the garbage truck stunt. He makes fun of his age, clumsiness and girth very openly. It’s impossible to mock a person for being fat when he already joked calmly and confidently about being fat. People like this but only if you do it from the position of strength and not looking for reassurance and compliments.

4. Instinct.

Instinct is a shortened leap of cognition. It’s our survival mechanism. Listen to your instincts, and you’ll be better off for it.

5. Thick skin.

It’s one thing to stand up to a crowd that dislikes you. It’s much harder to say unpleasant things to your supporters. Standing in front of thousands of disappointed, booing anti-vaxxers at a rally and be unfazed, saying that you are proud of the vaccine no matter how much it upsets your most loyal supporters, that’s big. It’s very very hard. I don’t like the vaccine but I admire the capacity to stay true to your beliefs in front of an admiring, disappointed crowd.

  1. Another lesson: celebrity endorsements are worth jackshit. Remember when libtards told us that this was a huge blunder that would cost him the election?

    Taylor Swift could’ve stayed away but she just HAD to endorse lolmala and now she gets to find out her opinions mean nothing to americans. Plenty of lols all around.

    1. Even my 8-year-old Swiftie daughter was not swayed by Swift’s support of Harris. It’s a bizarre belief that people should be swayed to imitate the voting preferences of mega rich pop stars. They are rich! They have a completely different lifestyle. Of course, Swift isn’t impacted by inflation or illegal migration. Good for her! But I am impacted. So she can stuff it.

    2. Also ties in to your second lesson: Authenticity. Trump doesn’t give a shit. Doesn’t pander. He is who he is. I’m sure his advisors must’ve told him not to post I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT two months before the election, but you know he had to stay true to himself lol. People respect it when you’re not being fake, even if they disagree with you.
