THE DONALD HAS WON!

Despite all the poll predictions, and the self-satisfied confidence of the Hillary Clinton campaign, Donald Trump has decisively won the US presidential elections. Rarely, has a campaign been so bitterly fought or more deservedly won.

The English Rights Campaign item dated 5^th March 2016 highlighted the similarity between the USA's current predicament and that of Britain at the start of the 20^th century, and drew a cautious comparison between Donald Trump and Joseph Chamberlain. That comparison is merited by the campaign victory. The Donald can genuinely be credited as being possibly the greatest campaigner and political strategist in the history of democratic politics. He has further pulled together a team of capable people around him, and together they have built 'a movement'. This 'movement' needs to be sustained.

Clinton offered crude political correctness. She was contemptuous of those she demonized as 'deplorables' (see the English Rights Campaign item dated the 12^th October 2016). She prattled about a glass ceiling and assumed that for her to be the first female US president would be a favour to the American people. In the event, the ordinary Americans prioritised patriotism, were determined to Make America Great Again, and voted to tackle the problems surrounding the trade deficit and illegal immigration.

If a Trump administration can now deliver, then the American people have a hope of putting a stop to the political correctness, and associated issues (in particular immigration and race war politics), that has been imposed upon them. They have the prospect of a better economic future in a proud, patriotic and booming America.
