Top Three Things Even Liberals Can Learn from Donald Trump
No Smoking. No Alcohol. No Laziness.
Love him or loathe him, Donald J. Trump is a 79 functional and productive man. While we can all disagree on the virtues or vices of his persona and politics, there are least three things we can all learn from him. Yes, even liberals and illegal aliens, can take a page from Trump’s personal playbook.
Here are three life rules that even Trump's fiercest critics would do well to embrace:
1. No Smoking: A Rare 1940s New Yorker
For someone raised in the glittering excess of New York high society of the 1940s and 50s, Trump’s refusal to smoke is a curveball. Unlike many in his class who glamorized cigars or Marlboros as symbols of power, Trump has always been staunchly anti-smoking. Why? One word: Trauma —Trump's older brother, Fred, died young from complications related to alcoholism and smoking. Trump took that trauma and turned it into a positive, providing him with the rightful motivation for not falling in the same trap.
When it comes to avoiding smoking, Trump walks the walk. He never fell for the trap of the fake glamour of living addicted to a nasty cloud of smoke. He never romanticized smoking or drinking. In that regard, he's a role model for the kind of personal discipline public health advocates wish more Americans had.
2. No Alcohol: Sober by Choice
How many men, successful or otherwise, can say they've managed to lead or endure their lives on Earth without depending on the joy of alcohol? Trump is one of them. He's an inspiration to all of us staying away from that poison. While many liberals are content with avoiding alcohol in January (Dry January campaigns), Trump’s sobriety goes beyond a seasonal trend. It’s a personal conviction, part of his character.
Why? Same reason explained above about smoking. Same reason that saved him from falling into other traps such as recreational drugs like cannabis. The trauma of losing an older brother to alcohol alerted Donald about the dangers of booze. Good for him and for all of us who can learn from him.
While many criticize Trump's character, when it comes to staying sober, he got it right. That’s something anyone, even those on the left of his politics, should admire and respect.
3. No Laziness: Outwork and Outlast
Say what you will about his personality, but one thing no honest critic can deny: Trump hustles. At an age when most billionaires are golfing full-time or comfortably fading into retirement, he’s pulling 18-hour days, rallying across states, dictating press statements, studying trends, and managing endless tasks of the hardest job on Earth.
Trump’s stamina and relentless drive put many younger folks, on the left and the right, to equal shame. For all the lectures on grit and hustle from self-help gurus and progressive thinkers, Trump is living proof that sheer willpower—love him or hate him—can bulldoze its way into living the dream 24/7.
As many of his critics point out, he inherited money and could have easily invested it passively to sit down and do nothing with his life. Instead, Trump decided to hustle and pursue his version of the American Dream.
Trump, an American Productivity Icon
You don’t have to agree with his politics to admit this: Trump has some admirable discipline in some aspects of his personal life. Avoiding smoking, staying sober, and hustling for productivity were smart choices that worked well for Trump. The good news is that they can work very well for all us also. We're all humans. We can all avoid harmful substances, and work hard for our goals.
In a world full of excess hedonism and cultural escapism, Donald Trump, paradoxically, may be a role model of discipline and hard work. Whether you're a liberal, an illegal alien, or both, you can learn from Trump's relative discipline and work ethics. Even if you disagree wholeheartedly with Trump's politics and public policies, you can agree that some of his personal choices have been smart and admirable. Don't you think? What do you think?
