Donald Trump is widely seen as a crude, but genuine, symbol of liberty, capitalism, America, and the West. He's broadly, generally interpreted as being basically a champion of Western liberalism, philosophically and culturally. He isn't that very much -- but perhaps he can be forced to be.
Trump doesn't know -- or even care -- very much about politics. But now that he's been elected, he has to do something. Maybe his supporters and advisers can make him into a kind of fighter for political libertarianism and cultural liberalism. If you read the speeches and plans his advisers wrote for him -- and which he faithfully read during the campaign -- then you know there's hope for it.
This kind of thing frequently happens in political science. Leaders become what their followers and supporters want them to be.
Several pretty dreadful ayatollah-type leaders of Iran were recently elected as reformers and liberals -- even tho' they weren't that at all. But they became so over time, because that's what the Iranian people wanted. The current mayor of New York City is both a communist and a hater of the police. But because the people of New York emphatically reject those two, so has he, in effect. As is frequently said of seemingly independent and uninfluenceable U.S. Supreme Court justices: "They read the newspapers."
Maybe governmental novice Donald Trump can be made into an advocate of liberty, capitalism, America, and the West. Maybe -- with enough public and intellectual pressure -- we can all convert him into a champion of political libertarianism and cultural liberalism. Let's hope!
