Anyone else think Trump winning the election was a good thing for the US?

I don't mean because of decisions he's made but moreso because he's the slap in the face that people needed. The vast majority of citizens had forgotten that you don't have to be a politician to run for president.

Then along comes Trump who's an incredible kick in the teeth.

Now everybody is suddenly running for chairs in congress and talking about running for president in 2020.

Hate him or love him you have to admit, he's done a lot of good in the long run just by running and winning the presidential election.

Update:

I see the majority of you merely read the question and didn't bother with the summary.

I'm pointing to the fact that there are WAY more, regular people actually trying to get involved with politics now than there were before. Even if you hate Trump you can't seriously deny that the sudden influx of people who haven't done anything to do with law or went to law school are running for various positions to try and make a difference...which is the way it was originally meant to be.

    Trump has shown that you can pick a candidate that's so bad that the "system" (people around him, congress, etc...) will not correct his mistakes and you will get disaster. It's an important lesson, but it will cost the USA a great deal.

    Did you notice that, when Trump ceded control of Trump Industries, he didn't give it over to somebody from the mailroom. He gave control to someone with experience.

    He definitely shook things up in DC at the very least.

    Nope. Trump is an Israeli shill that supports giving trillions of American taxpayers to help the Zionist war machine and the Jewish controlled banks and technocracy

    No, worst election since 2000. Nader and Sanders are traitors.
