In several instances, Donald Trump has said that some people did not believe that he will pursue the presidency of the United States. Currently, he is the flag bearer of the Republican Party for the 2016 presidential elections.
Donald Trump has surprised both friends and foes after he emerged victorious in clinching the candidacy for the White House bid. His political strategy is significantly influenced by the need to revenge and a strong desire to prove skeptics wrong.
Revenge against the media
McKay Coppins, a journalist from BuzzFeed News, illustrated two years earlier that Trump was not serious with the White House race. Trump was not happy with the opinion of Coppins. This is the reason why he regularly says that the journalist and BuzzFeed News are phony, dishonest and have less credibility.
Desire to silence widespread haters
Trump has many haters, some lasting decades. The haters are diverse and are well represented in the White House, Wharton School of Finance, and Wall Street. Trump strives to become the President of the United States so as to realize the goal that his skeptics strongly believed is impossible.
He has been ridiculed and rejected several times in both the political and business environments. Succeeding in the White House bid is a powerful strategy that will ensure that Trump gets the respect and recognition that he greatly desires.
Need for political recognition
Key political players have condemned Donald Trump because of his controversial statements. These politicians have criticized the perspective taken by Trump regarding immigration, gender issues, and race relations. President Barrack Obama condemned the opinion of Trump about building a wall barrier at the border of Mexico and the United States.
Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton has also questioned the commitment of Trump towards gender equality and protection of minority rights. Trump desires to win the White House race, so as to provide evidence to the political establishment that Americans support his strategies of realizing high levels of American greatness.
