Memo to millennials, that awful feeling you've got is called losing. It happens. If you want to know how to win, stop whinging for a bit and learn some lessons from Trump




By Piers Morgan - a friend of Trump - for MailOnline
16 November 2016

Cheer up, American millennials!

I mean, seriously, CHEER THE **** UP!

Oh, I know you’ve had a rough week ever since Donald Trump won the election.

But it’s time to get a grip.

STOP crying.

STOP taking personal days off work to ‘process’ what happened.


Millenials need to get a grip. Stop whinging and crying and complaining how unfair life is because Hillary Clinton lost the electoral vote to Donald Trump

STOP huddling with your equally distraught buddies in Starbucks over your Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha.

STOP howling away on social media about how unfair life is and how it’s the end of the planet as we know it.

STOP updating the exact number Hillary won the popular vote by, because it doesn’t bloody matter.

STOP marching around screaming your fury at the result when many of you couldn’t even bothered to vote.

STOP retweeting all your favourite celebrities’ own outbursts of pique, rage and anguish.

STOP demanding the Electoral College reverse the decision in December.

In short, STOP being such a faux-tormented bunch of absolutely deluded cretins.

Want to know why Trump is going to be your next president?

It’s because he is what’s called a ‘winner’.


Trump is going to be your next president because he is what’s called a ‘winner’. I know it’s not ‘cool’ to be a winner these days and it's an ugly, dirty word in your PC-crazed universe

I know it’s not ‘cool’ to be a winner these days.

It’s become an ugly, dirty word in your PC-crazed universe.

Far better, the social media millennial mob cries, to be a gallant loser who tries their best but comes up short - like Bernie, or now Hillary.

To which I say: bulls**t.

Winning is what life’s really about - whether in sport, politics, or simply producing the best decorated pumpkin in your town’s Thanksgiving parade.

If you don’t strive to be the very best at whatever you do, however big or small, then what’s the point in doing it, or frankly even being alive?

Why wallow in self-induced mediocrity?

Yet that is precisely where so many of America’s 80 million millennials enjoy wallowing, and as a result they have become the most pampered, privileged and selfish members of the human race in history.


America’s 80 million millennials have become the most pampered, privileged and selfish members of the human race. The NIH reported that 40% of millennials believe they should be promoted every two years regardless of performance. 77% of millenials can’t even name a senator from their home state. Here are University of Chicago students protesting on Tuesday

Where’s my evidence for such a shocking assertion?

Try the National Institutes of Health, which reported that 40% of millennials believe they should be promoted every two years regardless of performance, and are so fame obsessed that three times as many middle school girls now want to grow up to be the PA to a talentless celebrity like Kim Kardashian as want to be a senator.

(Hardly surprising therefore that 77% of millenials can’t even name a senator from their home state…)

Oh, and 80% of millenials say they’ll be richer than their parents, yet more of them live with their parents than with a spouse, still take cash off their parents, and work half as hard.

The tragic truth is that America’s millennials are a bunch of phone-addicted, selfie-obsessed, hashtagging, snapchatting, kale-munching, twerking, lazy, whining, ill-informed, politically correct, cossetted narcissists who find absolutely everything mortally offensive and believe there are 165 ways to sexually identify.

They don’t understand the concept of ‘losing’ because they’ve never had to experience it.

At school, to avoid any ‘low self-esteem issues’, they were all given endless ‘Participation Prizes’.

It’s hard to think of a more ridiculous, insidious ‘honour’.

What possible pleasure can there be in ‘winning’ a prize for just turning up? What incentive is there to compete in anything if you’re going to ‘win’ anyway?

Participation prizes converted a whole new generation into people with no understanding of what genuine competition actually means.

This, coupled with the advent of social media technology that allowed them to post relentless ‘filtered’ images of themselves, led to staggeringly self-absorbed figments of their own perfection.

The combined effect of these two things has been to create a deep-rooted sense of entitlement that manifested itself in a breakdown of biblical proportions when Trump triumphed last Wednesday.

Well, welcome to the real world, my delicate little Instagrammed snowflakes.

Here are some DC protesting students Tuesday

This is how democracy works…

You all have a chance to vote…

Someone wins, someone loses…

To the winner of a US presidential election goes all the spoils of being the most powerful person on earth...

To the loser, no gold stars for effort.

Winners like Trump don’t believe in ‘participation prizes.’ They believe you either win or lose.

Winners like Trump don’t weep and wail when they lose. They vow to win next time.

Winners like Trump don’t take days off to ‘process’ their loss. They dust themselves down and get on with life.

Winners like Trump don’t assume they’ll win. They do what it takes to win.

Winners like Trump don’t leave anything in the field of competition. They give it 100%.

‘Winning,’ said the great NFL coach Vince Lombardi, ‘is not a something thing, it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit.’

Lombardi further clarified: ‘Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.’

That’s Trump’s life mantra too. It’s why he’s now heading to the White House, and also why he may now surprise people and turn out to be a rather effective president.

The millennials can’t handle it because it wasn’t supposed to be this way.


The millenials can't handle Trump's win as Hillary Clinton was their anointed one, their heroine, their pick for first female president - thought she was a dull, humourless, uninspiring candidate mired in Wall Street greed, Washington dogma, and her dodgy server

Hillary Clinton was their anointed one, their heroine, their pick for first female president.

No matter that she was a dull, humourless, uninspiring candidate mired in Wall Street greed, Washington dogma, and dodgy email servers.

Trump won because he didn’t even bother trying to conform to this new world order of eggshell-hopping me-me-me millennials who infest places like New York and California.

Instead, he invested his time and effort in America’s rust belt states where such idealistic, sugar-coated nonsense is complete anathema.

The reaction to Trump’s win has been absurdly, dangerously over-the-top.

A San Diego based cyber-security firm founder and CEO millennial named Mark Harrigan resigned this week after posting the following on Facebook:

‘I’m going to kill the president elect. Getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the whitehouse that suits you motherf***er. I'll find you. In no uncertain terms, f*** you America.

Seriously. F*** off.'

Hardly the personification of ‘#LoveTrumpsHates’ is it?


Winners like Trump don’t assume they’ll win and do what it takes and don’t leave anything in the field of competition. They give it 100%.*Trump won, fair and square. The moaning millenials may not like it but refusing to accept the result is un-American. Suck it up

Today, it emerged that 200 students from a Manhattan high school were allowed to skip lessons to join the protests outside Trump Tower.

Can you imagine the furore if Trump-supporting students had demanded the right to do that if Hillary had become President?

It’s all so pathetic.

The simple fact is that Trump won, fair and square.

The moaning millenials may not like it but refusing to accept the result is not just undemocratic, it’s un-American.

Nobody rioted when Obama won, twice – though feelings ran just as high against him from those who voted for the other side.

As Trump’s rally song by the Rolling Stones so perfectly summed it up: ‘You can’t always get what you want.’

So suck it up you squealing softies, get back to work or college, and if you want to win next time, get a candidate who’s a winner not a loser.

Millennials were too lazy to walk to the polling stations...

They're still wondering why Usain Bolt just didn't take Uber to go the hundred yards.

It's like those Millennials who were too lazy to get out of bed before the polling stations closed at 10pm during the EU in/out referendum and then took to the streets in protest afterwards when it emerged Leave won. Had more of them been bothered to vote Remain may have won.

They fail to understand people may think differently and have a different opinion than what they determine to be the right one. That is their biggest problem, they have such a narrow view defined by all their kumbya get-togethers they do not notice there is multiple generations ahead of them who disagree and actually go vote.

This election seems to have you all f*cked up. Are you on the firewater? You cannot discern between generalization and specific any more. Oh well! Stay drunk for another 4-8 years...it seems to be how you deal with the disappointment of a Trump victory. Suppose we should be happy you aren't out there in a futile protest or attacking anyone who voted for him.

More of that calm, unemotional observation?

Boy howdy, the mask is off now.

This post is against my better judgement. I’m not usually one to promote hate and division but I’m pretty sick of RWRRA (right wing racist republican as.sho.les) claiming their ‘side’ never complained about Obama the way libtards, democrats, socialists, commies, lefties, etc. are ridiculing and demeaning Donald Drumpf.

But I can’t help myself. I’m tired of the two-faced hypocrisy from friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. who honestly (?) believe everyone was kind and courteous and magnanimous when their ‘team’ lost in 2008 and 2012.

On the night of Barrack Obama’s inauguration in 2009, Republican ‘leaders’ met in a private dining room at an expensive Washington, D.C., steakhouse to plot out ways to not just win back political power, but to also obstruct anything Obama proposed. Their plan was clear: Ruin the American economy (hey, they were all rich, it wouldn’t affect them), blame it on the young black President, and then recapture the White House in 2012.

They committed to vetoing, filibustering, obstructing and/or sabotaging every legislative priority coming from Barrack Obama. They knew they were condemning millions of U.S. citizens to poverty, joblessness, bankruptcy, homelessness and even suicide -- but they didn’t care.

It was putting party before country. It was treason. And it actually happened, according to Robert Draper’s book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives,” It was even confirmed by treasonous attendee Newt Gingrich on the Thom Hartmann program, with Newt justifying this insurgent mentality.

And it was supported by the silent-but-hate-filled minority of other RWRRA citizens.

It’s been that way for almost eight hate-filled, non-productive years.

Most Obama haters either deny this meeting ever took place or claim they have no recollection of any obstruction or disrespect to Obama after he won the election. They claim Donald Trump is being slandered, libeled and dissed like no one ever before. They are insulted.

So. For those who believe Drumpf is being treated unfairly, please review the following images that confirm how yes, Virginia, the opposing party completely demeaned and delegitimized America’s first black President in some of the most horrible, shameful, racist ways possible.
...


That’s it. I’m done.

The Democrats loss really shook people up, didn't it? Now a lot of them want to change the Electoral College system to Popular vote wins.
In Canada we have Popular vote, first to get the most votes wins and the government is trying to change it.
Very weird!

But you gotta admit that when Obama won there immediate talk of Texas seceding - that is, until Obama bailed them out through his stimulus package. So many cry babies from the Tea Baggers to Occupy Wall Street - extremists from both sides whined right up until they got their welfare checks from him.

Ah...........but did they take to the streets in mass protests. Did they block traffic? Did some of those protests turn into riots? Did they deface buildings?

The mayhem we've seen in the wake of this election goes waaaaay beyond complaining, gopher.

I did say that extremists from 'both' sides often whine and am just spreading the wealth. But note how the far left attacked Obama, the far right applauds Trump. That's the difference.

You be nice to those Millenials! They'll be paying the taxes that will sustain us old folks, when we're in our dotage ... if they get half of a chance, that is.
