Who is Donald Trump?

The Trump family came originally from Karlstadt，Germany. In his Childhood, he was quite rebellious. “Who could forget him?” said Ann Trees, 82, who taught at Kew-Forest School, where Trump was a student through seventh grade. “he was headstrong and determined. He would sit with his arms folded, with this look on his face—I use the word surly—almost daring you to say one thing or another the wouldn't settle with him.” Before his election，he was a very important“Manhattan real estate developer”，“an Atlantic City casino owner”，a well-known “TV celebrity”，a “family man” and an “outsider”.

How and why did he win?

Although he has no political background, Trump has the ability to play and win games. Election is a complicated game and he has the skill.He recognizes the game and knows that one doesn't win just by being popular, because representatives make the decision. He wins by getting the most votes.

The traditional way to win the battle of election is by money and advertisements.

Trump's approach is rather new and innovative. He uses Mass rallies, and twitter to directly contact with people. He dominates the news cycle and cooperated with the media: controversial stuff he said made him the headlines every day. And He did well in head to head contests and politics.

With his murder's row -- Roger Stone, Corey Lewandowski, Roger Alles, Paul Manafort, Sheldon Adelson, Rebekah Mercer, Kellyanne Conway, Steve Ban-non, Sean Hannity -- Trump changed the structure of politics. He did not just win the game; he changed the game. He seems bad and immature, but he knows where to win his votes. “Apprentice viewers are more likely to favor Trump.” -- He went for the crazy people.

What might he do as president?

According to what he said,Donald Trump had been kept on building a physical wall between Mexico and the US, but he thought he had been very successful in building a virtual wall as well. Except investing on infrastructure, Donald Trump's plan also include tax cut, putting American back to work, give life to white Nationalism, retreat from hegemony(NATO,Asian alliance,etc.), and focus on Islamic fundamentalist terrorism as part of a much stronger and pervasive national security policy and so on.
