Big smile, America
Op-ed: What the scared Americans really needed was an eccentric New Yorker with no political experience to make a change in the diplomatic, social and economic thinking patterns. No more ‘political correctness,’ but simply and sophisticatedly telling the truth.
Make no mistake. The hurricane of Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States
will wash through the entire world, destroying mountains and smashing rocks. Erroneous diplomatic concepts which have guided the diplomatic-social-economic discourse in the past century – and have almost led to the free world’s collapse – will disappear. A worldwide conscious revolution has begun.
I cannot avoid mentioning the fact that last Shabbat we read the weekly Torah portion of Noah, which focuses on the great flood that hit the world and was followed by the development of a more proper world.

Running amok, the free world adopted the “political correctness” doctrine, which banned any warnings against countries captured by radical Islam and forbade people to speak out against millions of Muslim immigrants who flooded Europe, and say that instead of integrating into the free world that welcomed them with open arms, they were planning to destroy it from the inside. This world was about to collapse into itself.
As if temporarily blind, the leaders of the most important countries in Western Europe recited poetic phrases about their “multiculturalism” policy, based on which they took in millions of Muslim immigrants. Immigrants who were not beaten and not persecuted – and if they were persecuted, it was in Muslim countries whose values they brought along into Europe and refused to bid farewell to. Negative types of people who should have been banned entry under any social standard.
And so, entire cities and quarters in Europe were shut off to… the local government which took them in. Barack Obama, the leader of the free world, outdid himself by consistently refusing to refer to global terror as “Muslim terror” against the free world. The inexperienced Obama with his naïve vision traveled around the world, scattering the basic security, economic and social assets of the world’s greatest power in the wind, and leaving behind blood, fire and pillars of smoke.
The Middle East is on fire, Europe is collapsing on its borders, clear US economic interests of have been sacrificed for the sake of “political correctness” – neglecting the heavy industry states in the US – and Obama arrogantly went from one election rally to another in the past few weeks, filled with self-satisfaction, completely blind as the finest “political correctness” supporters. He pleaded with the voters: Choose Hillary, in order to maintain my achievements in the past eight years.
And then came Trump. His success lies in his ability to translate to Obama and people like him what the scared American citizens really want to maintain, as they alarmingly watched the “political correctness” establishment – the old politics – taking most of their assets away. The air that the great America breathes.
What they needed was an eccentric New Yorker with no political experience, who was not educated in the suitable elitist institutions, to make a change in the diplomatic, social and economic thinking patterns, something that has not been seen since the days of Machiavelli. No more “political correctness” prism, but simply and sophisticatedly telling the truth, at eye level. And sometimes a lot below the eyes. As long as they understand.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it “Let’s talk dugri” in his United Nations speech. So on the following day, people in the US and in the rest of the free world which was crushed under the boots of political correctness woke up with a big smile.
As far as Israel is concerned, Trump is a reality which is close to a dream. Because, let’s talk dugri, the Palestinians don’t want peace with us. Despite the radical concessions we made, we were still hit by missiles, suicide bombers and knives. But the leaders of the Western world, loyal to their “political correctness” doctrine, kept calling us occupiers, racists and peace refuser. No more. A new concept has arrived in the world we are inventing as we speak. Introducing the “reality correctness.”
From now on, everything will be examined undisguised. Without any imaginary covers. Black or white. There are good guys and there are bad guys. The good guys want and are working for the world’s prosperity. The bad guys want to make it dark – and the bad guys come from Muslim countries, brainwashed by an educational system which teaches them that sacrificing their lives as jihadists is sacred.
Up until now, European leaders would justify these crazies. No more. The world will soon adapt to the new “reality correctness” lexicon. Just like the economic gloomy prophecies predicted by the supporters of the old world evaporated within several hours. Commentators spoke about months of economic recession which would hit the world if Trump were to be elected. The markets stabilized themselves faster than expected.
Here’s another test linked to our region: It seems that in light of the new “reality correctness” that has just been born, the French initiative to convene a peace conference – in other words, a conference aimed at embarrassing and pressuring Israel – will be postponed and then fade away.
And we have yet to talk about the expected dream team in the new president’s executing cabinet. The designated secretary of state, Newt Gingrich, understands better than the rightists among us who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in the region. The designated attorney general. Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and the father of the “broken window” theory, who turned it from a crime city into the capital of the world, acts according to the reality correctness principles.
In his arrogance, Obama (remember how he put his feet on the table while talking to Netanyahu on the phone?) refined political correctness. He was handled with kid gloves and relied on those on the left who kept him out of public criticism, and even gave him a delusional Nobel Prize, to protect him and his legacy. But that too will eventually fade away.
