We want to teach our children a variety of competitive skills, the most important of which are how to be a good loser and a good winner. Winners may discover that the long-term advantages of choosing the high road require them to be more polite, even if they don’t feel particularly polite.
This is especially true when it comes to governing, especially when doing so in a divisive environment. Losers who aspire to have futures typically exhibit the trait of not seeming resentful.
Naturally, Donald Trump has not always adhered to these fundamental principles of political civility. The president-elect has, in fact, been a little more gracious since winning this election, in part because he prevailed by a greater margin than he did in 2016. He’s feeling quite good about himself, especially when you consider his really slim advantage in the popular vote. Additionally, his hypothesis on the campaign and working-class voters of all backgrounds has turned out to be accurate. He has been building up political capital, and his win simply provides him with the opportunity to do so, if he so desires.
And that’s the main query I have regarding his intentions for this presidency. How much of his presidency will be devoted to seeking revenge, reform, self-enrichment, and power accumulation for himself or his movement?
He appears to be more focused on retaliation than reform thus far, as evidenced by his choices for the Cabinet and other roles.
