Some People are Just Very Lucky in Life

Some people are just very lucky in life. Things have a tendency to go their way for whatever reason, regardless of their intelligence or any inherent advantage. It is as if they have an external force that works in the background making sure that they succeed in whatever endeavor they pursue. And when things tend to go awry, they suffer little setback. One such person is Donald Trump.

If you look at his history, it is amazing what he has been able to achieve even though he is not exceptional in any way. He doesn't have great intelligence, great looks, great communication ability. But, he has managed to be a successful real estate developer, successful tv personality and successful politician. Furthermore, he survived two assassination attempts, one by millimeters. Their must be a force acting on his behalf, it cant all be attributed to luck.

I believe this partly contributes to what triggers TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). His detractors cannot accept the enormity of success achieved by such an average man. And even more to a man they see as unintelligent, coarse and a blowhard. It drives them crazy as the more they try to bring him down, the more victories he wraps up. 

Even losing the 2020 election turned out to be a big win for him as it is allowing him to be a much more effective leader as a discontinuous president with a gap in between. And losing to Biden ,allows him to be compared to a president with dementia. Very easy comps.

Because of this unexplainable success, I think it would be a mistake to bet against Donald Trump. I think both domestically and internationally, he will continue to succeed. Yes, the administration is somewhat chaotic, in terms of the economy, tariffs, taxes, etc. but my bet is with the perpetual winner. To try and counter this trend is a foolish endeavor.

It is unexplainable why some seemingly undeserving people succeed endlessly. And why good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people. Is it just luck and randomness or is there an entity moving around the chess pieces. It reminds me of the movie Amadeus, in which Salieri questions how such incredible talent could have beed endowed into such a boorish character as Mozart. In any case, it is a good lesson in life to recognize the winners in society, pay attention to them, latch onto their coattails and ride alongside them.
