From the moment that Donald Trump announced his decision to run for president, he became a game changer in the political arena. Countless Americans rallied behind him, while others doubted him. Some of then-candidate Trump's most outspoken critics claimed that he would eventually drop out of the race. Then they claimed he would face defeat by Hillary Clinton.

Yet, despite the critics, naysayers and doubters, President Trump trailblazed his way to victory in 2016.

#1. President Trump is an Outsider

Trump's entry into the political arena completely altered prior notions regarding politics. Until 2016, most Americans believed that anyone who wished to become president must have previous political experience. However, Trump was never a politician prior to seeking office. He earned his fortune as a successful businessman and television personality. Throughout the 2016 election, Trump's critics blasted him for his lack of political experience; little did they know, the president's outsider status would be a significant factor in his victory.

One of the greatest aspects of Trump's service as commander in chief is his inspiration to others. Since his time in the White House, he has proven that being a career politician is not a prerequisite to running for office and making a difference in this great nation. As such, other outsiders, including former WWE champions, are now making their entry into the political arena.

#2. President Trump Speaks Candidly

For far too long, the American people have been forced to deal with smooth-talking, scripted and rehearsed politicians. However, Trump does not fall into these categories. He addresses matters as they are and is not afraid to fight back when attacked. Moreover, the president's effective manners of communications allow him to connect with Americans.

Throughout the 2016 election and Trump's presidency, his critics have slammed his use of Twitter. In recent months, anti-Trump individuals have even called for Twitter to suspend the president's accounts; Twitter has declined to honor these requests.

Nevertheless, Trump's tweets allow Americans to hear directly from him without the filters of the mainstream media. As technology becomes more and more dominant in the modern world, our leaders must also learn to adapt; the president is already way ahead of the game.

#3. President Trump Exposed Liberal Fascism

Any individual with even a shred of political awareness can agree that division in America is at an all-time high. As such, many people in this country have different viewpoints regarding which person or group ought to shoulder the blame. As can be expected, many progressives and liberals have faulted Trump and his policies. The intolerant left alleges that Trump's policies and reform measures are to blame for the current state of division.
