Donald Trump has seen his meteoric rise towards US
presidency in his campaign with eventual clinching of the Republican Party
Presidential ticket in unprecedented fashion. Very high on negative rhetoric
and imposing himself in a party he was never an insider this man is within a
shooting distance to the most powerful office on earth. In America and across
the globe there are many who hope he doesn’t succeed but as they say all
politics is local - it’s up to America. His campaign has been brash, abrasive,
arrogant, racist, sexist that makes him disdainful. His style surprisingly won
him the Republican ticket but thanks to the party own strategic mistakes during
the Obama reign of eight years. The republicans spent all their time in their
hate campaign against Obama and forgot they needed more serious and informed
attention to issues of the day, a loophole Donald Trump fully exploited.
More fundamentally, we should be asking what has helped Trump
overcome the established favorite Republicans him being ranked an outsider. We
should be concerned with the dynamics in the American society that have assured
his meteoric rise. How come he still commands a size-able following and bar some
serious campaigns and reason prevailing Trump could easily triumph in November
8 poll? There are certainly some issues within the American society. Among what
is cited is that the blue color jobs white workers are a disenchanted group.
The effects of trade pacts and globalization that has adversely affected
critical employing sectors like manufacturing which has heavily shifted to
other destinations like China has had its toll on them.
