DONALD J. Trump is an extraordinary character Brutally blunt, frank and unperturbed, Donald Trump has opened a vistas in political comebacks in world politics, The Israeli Prime Minister-Benjamin Netanyahu has termed President Donald Trump’s Victory at the American Presidential Elections as one of the biggest political comebacks in history
I will however avoid the politics and focus on the human angle of this story, here are some lessons to learn from the amazing life and trajectory of Donald J. Trump.
1. Be yourself: No matter what people think or feel about you or how people criticise you, there are an awful lot of people that admire your guts your gusto and your nuisances. Many people will criticise you for your uniqueness, but they will call it your weakness.Criticism is a form of admiration.What people see as your weakness sometimes is that thing that stands you out from the crowd.In a flock of white chicken and one is black, the white chickens see the black chicken as the odd one out , but the black chicken may see itself as unique, special and peculiar.
Trump was quite unapologetic about who he is and what he stands for .If you do not stand for some thing , you will fall for anything.
2.Maintain Courage Under Fire: In the Hollywood Blockbuster “Courage Under Fire “, Denzel Washington played the inspiring role of a soldier who showed great resolve in the midst of extenuating circumstances. Donald J. Trump was convicted,his lawyer was convicted, his associates convicted ,all of them allegedly because they were attempting to demarket Trump and make him a felon that is unelectable.He denies all the allegations and even at the assassination attempt at him ,you will see Trump shout in defiance “fight, fight”.However , Trump has maintained unwavering resolve to deal with the multitude of issues thrown at him with solemn equanimity and profound tact.He has triumphed over the rubble , within the province of a shark infested water .There is new word in the dictionary. It is to be “Trumpy”.
3. Stand Out from the Crowd:
In whatever you do in life, create your trajectory. Donald J. Trump has stood out in his strides , building his own unique story that fascinates the profound.Never follow the crowd or you will be lost in the crowd .Be a person of distinct character. Know thyself and by yourself.
4. Do Not Dance to the Tunes of Your Detractors ;Create Your Own Tunes :Never bend to the breeze of your detractors .Be your own conductor of your orchestra .Create your own world and rebrand yourself at all times to keep up with the tides. Never be the fall guy .Be the hand that lifts people, because the person with the hands that lift never falls.
5. Loyalty Pays : President Donald Trump was betrayed by most of his trusted allies. But there is this woman that stood with him all the way and all this while. Her name is Susie Wiles ,who coordinated his campaign.Now she has been appointed the Chief of Staff at the White House, to resume in January, 2025, after his swearing in.Loyalty indeed pays. Be a dependable and reliable ally. Do not be willy nilly betrayal.There is the speed of trust.
