1. The constant misrepresentation of Trump by the media ever since he announced his candidacy is probably unprecedented. Here’s an example of misrepresentation pointed out by one of the greatest thinkers of our time Nassim Nicholas Taleb: “he (Trump) said `let us stop Muslims from coming until we figure out' and the words `until we figure out' were not picked up in the media … the press prices itself out of the market in a way by not presenting Trump's ideas in full.”
2. Add to it the 75+ million dollars spent on media ads attacking him — again, probably unprecedented.
While the former was done mostly by anti-Republican folks, the latter was done — amazingly — by the Republican elite.
End of the day: It was the voice of the people that won. Trump won the nomination (almost).
How: Trump appears to have listened to what people wanted and simply became their voice. In the business world (or in the Trump world), it’s called “voice of the customer.”
Questions: Would Trump get more polite (while keeping his political incorrectness)? Would he become President? If he does, would he be able to deliver?
