In the book, ‘The Case for Trump’ written by Victor Davis Hanson, chapter 3, ‘Modern Day Presidential’ highlights how and why Trump overshadowed his ideas and won the Republican nomination and election. Due to his characteristics, some wonder why people supported him throughout his political campaign. Although he made outrageous claims, Trump was never abandoned by his supporters because they felt as though he was retaliatory. It was implied by his followers that he was a long-overdue ballistic missile against those who had been plaguing the working class with racist attacks. Despite Trump’s large momentum shift within the Republican Party, it was inferred by oppositionists that this destroyed this sphere of politics. The reason being is due to the fact that his massive influx in Republican advocates directed support away from other Republican candidates; therefore, the future of Republican politics is at risk. Prior to his political career, Trump was a reality TV star and much of his imagery derived from this. Because of his media presence, Trump was notorious for his charisma, humor, and presence. Republican voters wanted more winning in politics; thus leading to more action within the White House. Beyond his appearance, Trump’s diction and what he was able to say became a force multiplier of his message. Typically after a year or so of exposure, politicians become repetitive in using the same few words over and over again. In the instance of Trump, he may have gotten repetitive, but his arsenal ranged between 500 or so words. It is implied by the author that Trump drew much attraction from the beginning of his political career in a good way.
