Trumpism: Mantra for the new world order?

Donald Trump, the newly elected President of United States of America (USA) came from nowhere to everywhere.  In the fiercely fought battle for the White House, he defeated veteran democrat and charismatic Hillary Clinton. Despite managing the White House for 8 years as the first lady and occupying the prestigious secretary of state post, Hillary lost to Trump - a political administrative novice. This is still a mystery to many. But those who watched the election closely know well that Trump is going to create long waves in the world politics. Exactly it happened. Not only Trump won the US Presidential election but he became the mantra for the new world order. Trumpism is all about anti-immigrantism. Trumpism is all about giving jobs to locals alone. Trumpism is all about capturing the world imagination about America – the great.

 Apart from an anti-immigrant attitude, “country first”, “local manufacturing”, “employment to local people” are going to be the hot issues in the world. Trump has set the world stage on these issues. After his victory using these issues, leaders from other nations won’t rest on the customary themes of electioneering.  Safe drinking water, electricity, transportation and other day-to-day issues will take the back seat. Macro issues like immigrant population, global terrorism, climate change and denial of employment to other nationalities will come to the forefront.

Foreign policies, economic development, financial management, capitalizing human resources, America First, ban on immigrants from some countries, women’s status, climate change, wall in the Mexican border, Russian relations and many more issues have put Donald Trump in the spotlight. Whether this spotlight is for good or bad needs to be analysed.

Trump talks to family friends, media, heads of foreign nations, diplomats, public representatives and strangers in the same manner. Is this frankness or peculiar personality trait to win every deal? In whichever way one look at it, Trump’s nature has triumphed in every field he entered. Be it real estate business, or owning Miss.World and Miss.Universe pageants or running gold courses or managing sports teams or winning the US presidential election. Trump has become a challenge to the personality analyzing psychologists.

Trump has shifted his position on several crucial issues many. According to NBC News, Trump made “141 distinct shifts on 23 major issues”. His political affiliations and party orientation too changed over the years. From a Republican to Reformists to Democrat to finally Republican winning the presidential contests is not a silly joke. It needs La Donald Trump to do this trickiest job,
