On “Donald Trump Thought”

“Xi Jinping Thought” is required reading in China. Trump is a far greater man, and he leads a more powerful country, so why shouldn’t he have the same privilege?

It would read something like this:

  1. History is made by great men, of whom Trump is by far the greatest. Everyone else is just ballast.
  2. Great men aren’t subject to the rules of morality that regulate the rest of us.
  3. All relationships are about power.
  4. Every relationship has a winner and a loser.
  5. Real men prove themselves by winning through negotiation.
  6. Negotiations are won by acquiring and using leverage and by complete ruthlessness.
  7. Truth is determined purely by its usefulness.
  8. Experts don’t know anything. Rely solely on your intuition. If you’re a great man, it will never fail you.
  9. Never apologize, and don’t let anyone think you are retreating. If you must retreat, spin it as a victory and change the subject.
  10. The only jobs that matter are performed by strong men.
  11. America was built by WASPs. They have the right to run the country in perpetuity. Everyone else should just accept that and shut up.
  12. The president is given unlimited power by the people for four years. He is accountable to no one but himself during that time.
  13. The greatness of a country is determined by its balance of trade.
  14. Where there’s a winner, there’s a way.
  15. Never stop telling the world how great you are. If you say it enough times, some people will believe you.
