"After that meeting, many thought Mr. Bannon’s strategy was crazy, the person who was present said. Then Mr. Trump won the election. And now we can argue that Mr. Trump is, in many ways, the first genuine Silicon Valley start-up candidate and president." nytimes.com/2017/03/08/business/… | |

| Mar 11, 2017 at 19:34 | comment | added | NS.X. | I would translated into "What happened next was Trump won the election." In this case, 就 means "next; then" in terms of sequence of events instead of causality. "A. 然后就B" is akin to "A happened. And then B happened." in English. Whether there's a relationship between A and B is left to be explained or not. | |
