Many factors why #Trump won
The most crucial piece is that #socialmedia is the center of all attention
Not unique to the #USA
Example:
"#FarRight #candidate takes shock lead in #Romania presidential #election"
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9dlw5pq967o
#Georgescu is anti-#NATO, anti-#EU and admires #Putin
He joined in August in 8th place. He is now in 1st
Why?
Social media saturation
Forget #cable, forget the #press: it's dead #media
Social media is killing #Democracy
This is now our greatest struggle
