THE liberal elite in America might not approve, but the blunt-talking President has survived the mid-term elections remarkably well.
While many voters don’t like Mr Trump, or his style, they do appreciate jobs and a growing economy.
And, unlike many politicians before him, he is doing what he said he’d do.
On Tuesday, the last-minute rallying call from many US politicians was to unify the “divided states of America”.
Look at the new map of congressional seats won and lost in these elections and it suggests they are already unified.
The country is a single mass of red Republicanism, thinly edged by blue Democrat constituencies.
Yet those blue margins represent some of America’s most populous cities, home to the more liberal, educated and minority voters.
What’s extraordinary is that the Democrats spent three times more on their campaign than the Republicans.
It worked to a degree.
The Democrats are now, just, in charge of the House of Representatives, the lower of the two US legislatures.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump, despite his many powerful detractors, has increased his hold on the Senate.
He has claimed this as a victory and, indeed, given his unpopularity, it would seem to be.
The lesson is clear: voters like leaders who deliver on their promises.
This point should not be lost on our own politicians, many of whom are doing all they can to thwart Brexit.
And, let’s not forget, that the 17.4 million people who voted to leave were accused of being ignorant, badly educated and racist.
These insults have now been followed by calls for a second referendum.
We must learn from these US elections that it’s important to hold firm to one’s word.
We promised a referendum; we promised to respect the result; and we must.
