Donald Trump will be a great president of the United States. He's charismatic and witty, and he certainly has the real world managerial experience; he has run businesses that give direct feedback in the form of profit or lack thereof instead of holding the equivalent of a tenure in some government position like much of his opposition has for their entire lives.
He doesn't so much throw the decrepit old electoral script out the window as he does tear it into pieces and snort it up his nose (much like Obama used to, only with crack cocaine instead of torn-up paper). For that alone, he is a worthy candidate: the career politicians aren't quite sure how to deal with him -- or what to make of him.
Trump, unlike others, needs no teleprompters or notes to tell him what to say next. No, he knows what he is about, he has done his homework; no one need put words in his mouth. He has rare authority. He is used to being listened to. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks.
It's important, of course, to understand that while he doesn't abide by the ancient rule book, he's still playing the game. Not everything he says should be taken literally - or, in some cases, even figuratively. The man must - and does! - employ political gambits just like everyone else, should he wish to have a real shot at the prize. And he does wish, and he does have. He's in it to win it.
Trump will employ aggressive tactics from the business world in the realm of politics. Tactics that are proven to work. He will be a leader that America's enemies will fear. He will not be anyone's door mat. He will not be Obama. Trump will do what must be done to achieve what must be achieved. Nations and groups all around the world will recognize this and act accordingly.
Simple social interactions, business, politics - these all share the same dynamics. People are people. Trump knows how to play people.
Trump's star is rising.
America's star will rise alongside his.
