IF the United States (US) were not the most powerful country in the world which can change the course of human history. If its President were not the most powerful politician in the universe with the largest military. If American policies and actions would not affect world economy. If it were not a nuclear power with an arsenal that can sink the world.
I would have been contented sitting down to enjoy the one-man comic act called Donald Trump. He is the egoistic multi billionaire estate mogul, businessman and leading Republican Presidential aspirant who when he opens his mouth, which is quite often, his words pour out in unrestrained torrents. This week, as he basked in even higher ratings, he rationalised his knack for speaking before thinking things through “No one tells me what to say.
I go by my heart. The combination of heart and brain.” Trump is vanity incorporated. He revealed in his book TRUMP: SURVIVING AT THE TOP that he visited his 118-room house in Palm Beach no more than two dozen times in the years he had owned it. He said of this and other items including yachts he acquires “the same assets that excite me in the chase often, once they are acquired, leave me bored…For me, you see, the important thing is the getting…not the having”
With a knack for saying the most outrageous things like claiming that Mexicans and immigrants are “bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and they are rapists”. He dismissed Senator John McCain’s rating as a war hero, and mocked US Secretary of State, John Kerry as an incompetent man who “goes into a bicycle race at 73, falls down and breaks his leg.”
Trump is a street fighter who obeys no rules while his opponents want a normal ring with rules; for many of his supporters, this is his strength and the weakness of other contestants. In bulldozing his way through the primaries, he calls the Kentucky Senator “The moron Rand Paul” while he says of Jeb Bush; son and brother of two former Presidents “He’s stiff. The guy can’t even talk. He has zero energy.
You would fall asleep interviewing him”. With each ranting, his popularity seems to grow. This week, the Fox News national poll put him at 25 percent, that is a 13-point lead over his nearest opponent, Ben Carson who has 12 percent, Ted Cruz, 10 percent, Jeb Bush, 9 percent and the rest thirteen contestants having between 1 and 6 percent.
As far as Trump is concerned, he has won the Republican primaries which may pitch him against the Democrat candidate whom he assumes will be Senator Hilary Clinton. So he opens fire declaring her a “highly complex person who can’t help going over the edge. She just can’t stay true to herself.”
With his rating women very low, he assumes he will defeat her, so he takes a shot at President Barrack Obama whom he claims is hated by every country “Obama is going to like me, very, very much because when he’s done with his term, he will be at my golf courses, because I have the best golf courses in the world. He is going to go off to greener pastures, I guess.”
Even without the Republican primaries haven taken place, the boastful Trump not only assumes that he would succeed Obama as American President, but that he would have a successful first term in office. He told American talk show host, Chuck Todd “In four years, you’re going to be interviewing me and you’re going to say ‘What a great job you’ve done, President Trump.”
Trump’s programmes include criminalising abortion except in cases of rape, incest or where the woman’s life is in danger. He sees the Iran Nuclear deal as a bad contract which he would use his expertise as a businessman to neutralise.
On ISIS, he boasted like a typical cowboy starring in a Hollywood Western “We go in, we knock the hell out of them, (we) take the oil”. He expanded his thought process in his programme; American troops will be sent to fight ISIS and “(We) will take away their oil-and use the profit from the oil sale to help the injured US soldier”. In his imperial mindset, he seems to shut out the reality that ISIS has no oil, and that it is the responsibility of the Americans to take care of their troops, including the injured.
He wants to reduce social spending, take on China and Japan whom he claims are ripping off America, and impose heavy tax on firms exporting jobs. Except for the indigenous minority Indians, all other Americans or their forebears were immigrants. Trump’s main programme is directed at immigrants. He wants to deport all undocumented immigrants estimated at over 11 million with 60 percent of them being Mexicans.
In doing so he said “We’re going to keep the families together, but they have to go”. He said illegal immigrants caught will be detained until repatriated while people who overstay their visas, will be held by local officials until the Federal authorities arrive.
He also wants to end birthright citizenship; there will be no automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. He also hopes to abolish the Obama Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act under which immigrants would be granted conditional residency, and after getting better qualifications, full residency. Clearly, under a Trump presidency, things will be quite tough not only for Americans and undocumented immigrants, but also for the rest of humanity as American policies would be unpredictable, predatory and scornful of poor countries.
A President Trump would set more fires across the world like George Walker Bush, and generally make the universe, a more insecure place. Certainly, there will be the lighter side, for instance, he may call Queen Elizabeth II ‘an old girl’ who should vacate the British throne for Prince George, her great grandson!
Trump is the Republicans nightmare. If he does not win their primaries, he says he will run as an independent candidate. Either way, he will reduce their chances against the Democrats.
Helluva endorsement. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump paid that hired pen for his hate screed.
Sorry, Lowei Afemka, you are clearly blinded by the fact that we have a semi-black president with whom you think you share a kindred spirit. If you knew how harmful his presidency has been to black people in our country, you would be embarrassed by your fear of Trump. In fact, if you understood how low our country’s morale is and how deeply in debt we are, you would understand that Trump, and other conservatives with similar ideas, represent positives for us.
Sorry, Lowei, but in this article you have betrayed your ignorance of current conditions in our country. You have also betrayed your ignorance of the negative influence of Obama on the national scene. Trump, or any of the other conservative candidates, will not “set fires” but will improve our international relations.
So far Trump has beaten them all. But Trump won't do himself in ,only media slander against Trump will take him down if at all.
Megyn kelly was just one of those 46,000 news reporters that tried to take Trump out. all the media joined in as they always do and even now most people believe that Trump was talking about megyn kelly’s menstruation which is a smear against Trump.
The media destroyed Sarah Palin , Herman Cain etc.
This author misunderstands the American psyche.
The dreaded Cowboy status. Dreaded if you’re three steps left of Lenin and Marx.
Owei, I got your name wrong, but I’m not apologizing!!!
2016:
Cowboys v. Islam
Cowboys v. Zulu
Cowboys v. Mexico
I can hardly wait!
“In his imperial mindset, he seems to shut out the reality that ISIS has no oil”
Africa seems a bit behind the times. Oil is a huge source of funding for ISIS
#CowboysMatter
This guy is an idiot.
Just as long as they don’t call him a maverick.
Cattle baron, not a cowboy... there’s no dirt under those nails.
I had a hard time getting past all the dependent clauses presented as sentences, let alone the misinformation (the US does not have the world’s largest military).
IOW - Trump won't lay down and obey the rules of his enemies which ensure they win - that's how he differs from the RINOs that the Left so often walks all over....
