Donald Trump's post election speech from his headquarters in Florida Tuesday night celebrating his primary wins in Michigan and Mississippi was a good example of a man who on a winning night sought fit to once again personally attack his republican opponents.
It was not a humble speech nor one with virtue. It was a time to celebrate a victory with his supporters but instead talked about his business accomplishments with much criticism for others. Trump's lack of character shows his weakness as a man and also conveys his reasons for speaking in the singular. (I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.)
Speaking in the singular is the trademark of republicans but they have little accomplishments to show for it. A Presidential candidate can not afford to be negative as Trump and expect to be effective or even representative of what America is all about. It should be obvious that many executives in corporate America are ruthless and Trump, being a part of corporate America, exhibits his fondness of being ruthless.
If a Presidential candidate can not show character and humility in winning, he is already a loser. Trump talks a lot about his opponents being part of the establishment but so is he. He is part of the corporate establishment who give millions of dollars to elected officials in campaign contributions to try and influence their vote. That makes the corporate establishment worst than the political establishment. And that really says it all.
