Surely, Donald J. Trump is where he is because of a new force in American politics, one very different from the old politics as usual. Mr. Trump has survived disasters that would have sunk an establishment politician because he and his supporters have a fundamentally different worldview. The world that Mr. Trump inhabits is today’s Other America, the seamy, blustering, hustling and huckstering underside of our fabled brightness and optimism. You’re gonna love Mr. Trump because millions of Americans already do. In business, Mr. Trump might be called a beta test, or a “proof of concept.” To that end, he has already succeeded.
