The new ways

A newbie in politics comes in with the goal of making things better but soon realizes it will take time so he must be reelected and this then becomes the number one thing. This means, in most cases, following the tried-and-true ways of conforming to get on committees and gain respect. In a short time, they become part of the establishment. Trump came in as an outsider and started fighting with the in crowd and was summarily dismissed as a comedic clown. As he gained some success, he continued his anti-establishment ways but soon gained popularity. He was fighting an up-hill battle but overcame all opposition and to the dismay of the political leaders was elected. In his second term he doubled down on his radical approach and is constantly proposing new ways to solve problems. In the Middle East he got four Arab countries to normalize relationships with Israel and is working on getting Saudi Arabia to join. He proposes a Palestinian Riviera which is laughed at and leads to the rich oil countries to consider investing in Gaza. He suggests moving a million Palestinians to Libya and is scoffed at. He thinks outside the box because he is concentrating on problem solving not getting reelected. He has a standard way of operating where he uses both economic and military power to forge new thinking. He remade the republican party and is in the process of ending globalization. He negotiates in public because experience as taught him that any secrets will be leaked. His back and forth, up and down way of deal making has the press in a tizzy. The public knows what is going on as soon as the press. He is called reckless and unpredictable and sometimes crazy as friends and enemies try to figure out what is going to happen next. He is willing to take the risk of going down the path less traveled and that kind of person is always persecuted. He is changing the world at a record pace and will need a midterm win to have a chance to succeed. The odds are against him but it is possible to reshape the globe.
