Lessons from The President Elect Trump －：－从下任总统特朗普可以学得怎么教训呢？
I wrote on Donald Trump on 31st July 2016 inviting you to help me ghost-write the inaugural speech of the 45th President Donald Trump. You thought this to be a joke and failed to respond.
I wrote again on Donald Trump on 11th October 2016 in another page entitled “Trump - Triumphant?” Still not a single one of my friends out there responded.
Now I am writing again, immediately after Trump had won the Presidential race and is now confirmed as the next President of the United States of America.
This time, I am writing on the lessons we can learn from this election victory of Trump.
Lesson # 1: Professional career politicians like Hillary Clinton (who had never taken on a real job in the business world) is no match to someone who has been successful in business, like Donald Trump.
Lesson # 2: Donald Trump’s victory is against all media and polling predictions and against the opinions of all traditional establishments. This may well mean that in a democratic one-man-one-vote system, the educated ones must never ignore the ideas and the wishes of the many underprivileged lots amongst us.
Lesson # 3: Donald Trump does possess a sound head in marketing and in the execution of a project steering it towards success. Of course, the divisive method he had used to divide the country may well be one that was well rehearsed.
Lesson # 4: The use of high society personalities to campaign on your behalf (and I am referring to Hillary Clinton’s final splash with celebrities endorsing her) may be seen by the ordinary man-in-the-street as yet another example of the rich grouping together to protect its interests.
Lesson # 5: Corruption, nepotism, blatant ignoring of the desires of the poor and the needy are all sure signs of a country coming to an end of her reign of power.
