Trump's Art of the Possible

Donald Trump “shocked the world” when he won the United States presidential election in 2016 over the heavily favored and elite-approved and -manufactured Hillary Clinton. The results may even have shocked Trump himself, so heavy were the bookmakers' odds against him. The New York Times reported on Election Day that Clinton had an 88 percent chance of coming out on top. The expert reporters on the liberal television networks looked ahead confidently to the official coronation of “The First Female President of the United States” and the ratification of feminism, diversity, and multiculturalism as the officially sanctioned doctrines of the land. Indeed, Clinton and her campaign staff celebrated the impending result on their flight home to White Plains on election eve, and Chelsea Clinton is said to have popped the cork on the champagne at Clinton's hotel headquarters at 9 p.m. on election night, just as the disquieting early returns from Florida and North Carolina were beginning to come in.
