Trump, love him or hate him, has brought into focus a lot of challenges that exist in America that we have chosen to be blind to for decades, for example: 

1. wealth inequality, racism, the divide between rural and suburbia, and the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street.  

2. The needs of the common man and the effect of outsourcing, computerization, and robotics on his opportunities.

3.  The dependency of our supply chain on China, Russia, and others not friendly to us 

4. The dysfunctional nature of our political system.

5.  The inadequacy of our education system.
