THE REASON TRUMP WON

I won money on Sportsbet, got on him at $5.00

You have to see Trump as the Americans see him.

How come the
L.A.Times Poll was the only one to read it right from the start?

How could hard-working Americans who have been marginalised over the last 8 years find comfort in Donald Trump?

He has been in their lounge rooms every week for straight 11 years in The Apprentice. They know him, and love his hair like we love Elton John’s and Bert Newton’s wigs. They think his humour is reminiscent of that other actor President Reagan (HERE), (it isn't).

Have a look at Series One, Episode One of The Apprentice (HERE) and see how an average American could think that Trump:

  • is funny,
  • is rich,
  • has a stunning apartment,
  • has taste (not my taste but theirs…),
  • is a leader,
  • surrounds himself with good assistants —one is a woman,
  • clearly recognises women can be better than men,
  • can delegate,
  • is decisive, and
  • is presidential,

He is a real estate salesman, so people believe he will be good at negotiation and selling. 

Whilst Americans struggle, 12 Trillion dollars has been printed, and given to the rich. Friday’s DOW stock market close is the highest in history, 18,000. Yet has Middle America seen any of this increased wealth?

Their real wages are the same as 1966.


Like everyone in real estate, he knows cycles, and mentioned in the first debate that we are in a bubble, ‘We are in a big, fat, ugly bubble…’ and was just starting to talk economics but the moderator changed the subject*.

Trump seems to model himself on F.D.R. who went to Washington to end the Depression. He knows what is coming, and may even be the right person for the job.

Whereas Clinton’s “Deplorables comment” and final catch phrase ‘I wanna be the President’ was all about her, the super salesman put his customers first:

‘… you wanna ‘nother eight years of this?’

Clearly they didn’t.

The reason the losers are setting fire to the cities?

They are angry at themselves, and each other, that they didn't get out to vote like they did the last two times.

If they did, Mrs.Clinton would have won.


And I'd have done my dough.
