Frida Ghitis: Why is a regular guy attracted to a billionaire candidate? It's simple: Because the candidate can play to people’s fantasies, Ghitis says.

She says Silvio Berlusconi , like Donald Trump , was a right-wing leader capable of attracting the most disappointed and least informed voters, who historically had chosen the left.

Ghitis writes: Trump 's victory on November 5 is clear and instructive; it gives the whole world a signal as to where America is headed.

The copyright of this questionable political style belongs at least in part to Boris Johnson and Trump .

Successful leaders have stopped “preaching the necessary virtues of the nation,” instead preferring to applaud its faults.

Trump wears his flaws like medals, and is appointing people to his coming administration who have the same attitude.
