Trump's Triumph

Nov 9, 2016. Early morning, as the final results came in, angry protests spill onto the streets across various cities in the United States chanting slogans against Donald Trump. How did a political outsider, who the liberals claim had made racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic and anti-Islamic comments with regularity, win the White House? This is the book about the inside story of how that happened. People inside and outside of the US are still reeling from the shock of Donald Trump's astounding victory in the US Presidential elections. America's adversaries and allies are equally surprised by this event. Were people so disenchanted with the political system that Hillary Clinton represented? The numbers are startling. Nearly 60% of all Whites voted for Donald Trump, including a majority of white women. The claims of women being offended by Trump falls flat in front of this statistic. It wasn't just older voters. 5% more whites under the age of 29 voted for Trump compared to Hillary. Furthermore, more than half (55%) of white college graduates voted for Trump over Hillary. They were all willing to overlook Trump's comments about Mexicans and Muslims. Third World War is the reality we are living through, which can be described by the phrase, "The Perfect Storm". It is a military conflict on a global scale and at different levels. It has many dimensions like Economic, Social, Religious, Geopolitical and Ideological. The three trends shaping WW3 are: 1) The rise of Jihad in the middle-east & beyond; 2) China's military expansion & modernization; 3) The economic de-leveraging of the western world. The above 3 trends could be approximately mapped on a timeline in phases as follows: 1) 2014-2018 (Incremental or rising violence phase) 2) 2018-2019 (Peak violence phase) 3) 2019-2025 (Decremental or rehabilitation phase) The above 3 phases are characterized by the combined strength of the 3 trends noted earlier above. Meaning from 2014 to 2018-19, global violence will keep rising owing to all 3 trends gaining momentum. In this phase, Islamist Jihad will continue gaining strength. Partly because the West refuses to act against it due to political correctness, and partly because of Jihad owns inherent devilish characteristics. Phase-I will also witness Western world's continued de-leveraging (a downward economic spiral fueled by excessive debt. Combine this with China's rising military muscle.
