Trump Survival Guide Crisis PRSTRAP yourself in, folks. The ride ahead is guaranteed to be very bumpy indeed.

The inauguration of the 45th President of the United States of America is upon us. Yep, The Donald is in the White House – and nothing will ever be quite the same again.

Trump may be over there, while your business is over here – but that shouldn’t stop you from extracting every possible ounce of business insight and value from watching the progress of the Trump bandwagon.

While your rivals are jawing about the latest controversy involving America’s first orange, septuagenarian President, you can take the dos and don’ts from his antics that can help keep your business ahead of the pack.

Just getting to inauguration day was one helluva rollercoaster ride. The Mexican wall. The p***y-grabbing boasts. The cosying up to Vladimir Putin amid claims that Russian hackers helped sway the Presidential election result. All of this before the most outrageous political figure in living memory got his hands on any of the real levers or power. He’s been unpredictable, off-script and outrageous during his inexplicable rise from no-hope outsider to the man with the keys to Air Force One.

Here we offer our own Trump Survival Guide: our best advice on what The Donald’s rise can teach us about successful business communications. Oh, and don’t worry. Even though we built it, we don’t intend to make you pay for it. This one’s on us!
