Donald Trump has reclaimed the U.S. presidency.
Regarding Trump’s “user manual,” a separate contribution was made by economic experts on November 8th, and as an American, I fully agree with its content.
For those who haven’t read it, I recommend reading it again.
Vol 620 Learning Trump’s Manual from Former Prime Minister Abe
Why Trump Was Chosen—What Is the “Action” America Seeks?
“We chose Trump not because we fully support him.”
Many Americans say this.
I don’t particularly like Trump’s personal behavior either, but I believe he has special value in rebuilding the domestic economy and giving countries around the world the opportunity to strive for independence.
The presidency is not a position of absolute power, and long-term dictatorship is impossible. Still, I feel we need a leader who can deeply influence the United States over a few years in office.
Global Perspective and the Reality of American Citizens—The Background of Trump Support
You in Japan don’t have the opportunity to vote in the U.S. presidential election.
However, I’d like you not to simply dismiss the reasons for disliking Trump as “just evaluating his words and private actions.”
The United States is the world’s largest economic power, built on abundant resources, vast territory, cutting-edge technology, and medical advancements.
On this powerful foundation, many Americans are expecting Trump’s “action” and “decisiveness.”
While it may be difficult for small countries in Asia and Europe to understand the choice to support Trump, from the perspective of a great power, there are grounds for this decision.
Trump from a Real Estate Investor’s Perspective — An “Unconventional Leader” in Business
I’ve served as a partner in an overseas real estate investment bank and have been involved in important decision-making in the real estate market.
From this position, I’ve had opportunities to know Trump as a businessman to some extent.
He is a very unique individual who surprises those around him with his own style.
Of course, I understand that opinions are divided on his business approach.
However, unconventional as it may be, his decisions affect many people, and his influence cannot be ignored.
My boss, the CEO, was a classmate of Trump at the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Business), and the anecdotes he heard about Trump well illustrate his personality.
