Donald Trump has done an inestimable service to the world already, merely by being elected fair-and-square.
It may not have been pretty - it may not even have been seemly - but American President-Elect Donald Trump's surprise win on 8th November is a great motivator.
Motivation is often the result of seeing the seemingly impossible come to fruition - and nothing was more impossible, or seemingly so, than a Trump presidency.
And yet it's happening.
The game was rigged right from the start. The rig was that Hillarity Clingon was set to assume the White House: it was her turn, or so conventional wisdom would have it. The mainstream media, for the most part, were on board - with the exception of those "meddling kids" at Fox. Celebrities, too, were largely behind Chairwoman Mao, many of them making complete donkeys of themselves calling The Don anything from misogynist to literally Hitler whilst dreamily counting the fragrant butterflies which floated with the sunlight from Crooked Hillarity's jack-knife nipsy.
In a country where electoral success has usually followed the money Trump was at an acute disadvantage. Whilst he is worth anything from $1bn to $10bn depending on the markets, Hillarity was getting her fill of generous campaign donations from the crooked and the venal pay-for-play marks. Remember, you can't cheat an honest man.
It's never been done.
But what has been done gives hope to all those struggling to find success. After all, if The Donald can do it on a relative shoestring (although with campaign funds running into the millions, that's a pretty big shoestring even if, against the Clingon billions it's still a shoestring), then anything is possible. And that's my point.
You see, wherever there's an attitude of anything being possible, great things happen. Now, as we've already said in Haveyouheard, Trump is a businessman. Business is the engine of economic prosperity, and economic prosperity is the soil in which all other good things are possible. Business grows and creates jobs, jobs create tax revenue, which can be spent on looking after the less fortunate, making sure the country is secure and so many other things which will make America great again.
But it's not just America. Trump's victory will resound around the free world, where others will be inspired to enrich themselves, their families and their countries, as long as there is the political will to allow that. And where there isn't, there will probably be such foment as to force the Government, where the people are not so free, to allow such enterprise as will engender self-determination.
Which is probably why many of the more autocratic leaders around the world are so worried.
