This blog has followed the updates of the US 2016 Presidential election fairly. There have been articles on the different intending candidates in the primary election of the two major parties. The election is getting closer, and the heat of the polity has increased, some Americans have already concluded and finalized their plans to vote for their chosen candidate.
When we did an article on Donald Trump, his profile was not really that good; his profile isn’t good enough to even vie for the most powerful seat in the world. The President of America is like the number one citizen of the world, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the key to American’s security codes. His administration, if he wins, will affect the whole world.
Even with his controversial, racist and inciting statements, majority of American still see him as the best candidate for the prized seat. Apart from his business and his properties, Trump has no other leadership skill which can help him in ruling America, and Trump chooses to present himself as a sincere individual who chooses to say his mind on some delicate issues, he also makes inciting statements. What will he gain, and what will America gain if he wins and destroys American’s good foreign policy?
Some Americans believe his stance on some issues and his rash attitude will be the best for America for now. And some Americans are disenchanted with the calmness and slow process of Obama’s administration. They believe they need a man or a woman who is strong-willed, someone who can be bold enough to solve their problem without minding the problems it might cause, someone who can be bold enough to even challenge Putin. What they seek is good, but it is also bad.
What will be of America when their president is a man of unbridled tongue? His tongue can even cause conflict among nations. And with this his bravado attitude, he would put the world peace in jeopardy. We also predict racism and discrimination coming back fully to America. Although he is a successful business man, we don’t see him being capable of managing one of the world’s biggest economy; he will be more interested in policing the world, attacking Muslims and deporting non-Americans. He is not even saying anything about unemployment, housing, agriculture and what to do with the economy, instead, he is busy attacking people’s lifestyle and personality.
However, if Americans think he is the best man for the job, then, he should be voted for. His presidency might end up good, or probably, bad. It should also be noted that America is a mixed-race country, and there is a large number of the colored in America, who would probably not vote for Trump. It should be noted that it is the white conservatives that support his candidacy, and they have their reason for their support. Vote wisely!
