Hitler and Stalin were no Trump’s. Just keep trying to assign your theory like the climate warriors.

liberal drivel

Trump won because the democratic party hates the majority of Americans and enough of them saw this and voted Trump for his pro American policies

Hillary brought nothing to the table

So we were all played and manipulated, we have no ability to think.
Sheesh.
No credit to voters for making a rational choice.
It's liberal brainscramblers like this, with their complete contempt for actual people, who make it impossible for libs to understand regular folks.

Hmm...Rejection Theory appears to be a work in progress. One might with equal accuracy state that Trump identified with oppressed classes and earned their loyalty by opposing their oppressors. Naturally the latter "rejected" him. This is not exactly subtle stuff.

One notes that progressives never self-identify with oppression; it's always the sort of social justice that consists of oppressing somebody in return, hence morally sanctioned. We mock "it isn't fascism when we do it" but that is a perfectly cogent statement of that attitude.

Hence a massive blind spot for the resentment that they have earned. The other fellow has no right to feel that way and so it has to be something else. He - shall we name white males with no college education as the current subjects of this abuse? - he is stupid, unjust, a suitable focus for all the country's wrongs. Of course, he votes. At least for now.

There is no analysis here, only a clever reframing of the question such that only one answer is possible, which is the inadequacy of the opponent. Hillary's team was full of these tale-spinners and it cost her dearly.

>>I see all people through the lens of their relationship with rejection.<<

I reject that lens.

It is like EVERY SINGLE LEAD CHARACTER IN EVERY TV SHOW IN PRIME-TIME has a problem with his/her father (always) and/or mother (usually).

Gee, sounds like a salesman for his product...

Trump had to be rejected by the establishment as an anti-establishment candidate.
Anti-establishmentarianism is not always the right course.

I see all people through the lens of their relationship with rejection.

Have fun. Too limiting for me.

Scott Adams put it much better, when he said that Trump owns the downside of his decisions better than any politician.

It goes to the heart of most people’s desires: we want to be popular/loved/admired and we’re willing to do almost anything to get it.

Trump did the opposite. He made his unpopularity an asset and a source of strength. He projected confidence and bravado in the face of overwhelming odds. Most people wouldn’t or couldn’t do it.

He won by making the election a referendum on his opponent rather than him. If you can diminish your enemy and raise yourself, you will win. The advice isn’t from Trump; its from Machiavelli.

The man who plays politics better than the rest and uses the passions of human nature to dominate others, is a winner. Its a script as old as time. Studying it can lead us to learn how Trump succeeded where others had failed.

I cannot stand "TED Talks."

A bunch of yapping egomaniacs who feel that their every syllable and impulse is the Wisdom of the Ages.

Pretty good article. Can’t really disagree with the argument.

Thank you for posting this. Yes, he is touting his product. Yes, he is not a Trump supporter. Yes, there are other reasons Trump won. But after a quick read I’d say there is some validity to his argument. Trump really doesn’t care about rejection and he knows how to use it. There’s a lesson there for all of us.

The Power of Rejection is the arrogant salesman who does not respect the answer no, he continues to send email spam and US mail spam to your mailbox.

He should be in prison.

As a parent, he drives his child to suicide.

I thought that was a really good article! I love the last bit!

“The day before the election on November 7, when all the polls showed Clinton as an overwhelming favorite, I went to both Trump’s and Clinton’s websites looking at their schedules on election night.

On Clinton’s site, it said ‘Election Night Related Events’. And on Trump’s site, it said ‘Victory Rally and Party.’

Somehow, I had a sense then which campaign was more cautious and which one was more fearless.

In battles, whether with sports or presidential elections, if you have to bet on one side, always bet on the fearless side.

"I am not a Trump supporter, to say the least."

OK, that's all I need to know. Nothing worth any further worth reading with this bozo.

I read this article and came away with the impression that it was a great deal of jibber-jabber by a guy trying to sell a book and a concept.
