My Views On The Recently Concluded US Elections by Jaykizz(m): 10:57pm On Nov 09, 2016 |
At first, I reserved my comments as regards the US presidential elections. Although it might be a little too late, but better said than never. Besides, this post would only be a reminder of what transpired during the run-up to the elections. So how did Trump get to win the elections? The Democrats succeeded in having a very good campaign and campaign team, however, I strongly feel that they lost it at the second presidential debate. Clinton assumed she had all the support and was too sure of winning, she always assumed that Trump had nothing good to say or he was only fabricating whatever he was saying as strong points which could deter the just concluded government. Rather than face the facts and come up with readily available solutions, she was only using the "Assurance" term - "I assure you, US would be better under Clinton, so don't vote for Trump". As regards economic issues relating to 2008 financial crises. Clinton also failed to apply the principle of economics and finance in answering the questions. Her answers were to allow businesses and entrepreneurs to leave the country in order to reduce the crises (in the short run) as well as contain it in the long run. This, I felt was not the best way in answering such a question (especially for someone that served in office for 30 years) Trump on the other hand hit the nail on the head by his application of fiscal measures in putting an end to the crises and building an enabling environment that would ensure a sustained growth. Trump, as people say, is "a jackass, a womaniser, a man who couldn't hold on to four marriages, and a shrewd business man". But I must say he is a selfish and shrewd business man who understands the essence of business - for the gains/profit. If I were a business man, I would target the ultimate goal of business. Trump changed his campaign team twice. While some saw it as a weakness to his campaign, that I feel was what worked its magic to the victory. If you are surrounded by people who don't by into your thinking, pull them down before they pull you down. Furthermore, the idea of "ObamaCare" was a scam that Trump verily noted but Clinton failed to admit. This is because its target population ended up not getting the due benefits but spent more (Just like our network operators with their 'wayo' offers). On the crises happening in the East, Clinton solely blamed the Russians and Putin and never attempted to answer how she intended to put an end on the ISIS notorious groups and AlQaeda. Trump on the other hand pointed out to the failure of the current administration to see out a war by totally destroying an enemy so that such an uprising might never ensue. He said what Americans needed to hear and even came up with ways he felt the American Soldiers could defeat ISIS. Clinton on her part was only playing the assurance game on Americans. She could not come up with a modelled solution on how she intends to put an end the war. Also, Trump strongly assured his fellow business men of supporting their businesses and ensuring that other business could spring up and thrive in the US economy by lowering tax rates for entrepreneurs. Clinton was even against the idea of having an upper class that are amazing at what they do. Her campaign was for the middle class. She had forgotten that there can't be a middle class without an upper class in a classical society. It is the Bourgeoisie that feeds the Proletariat and not the government in a liberal society. Indeed, the essence of a government in a classical society is to ensure the welfare of its citizens and not the sole driver of productive resources in the economy. Personality wise, I feel Trump had the personality to take authoritative decisions even in the face of daunting circumstances (Just like David Palmer did in 24 and like Buhari told us he would do during his campaign). I am not saying Clinton doesn't. All in all, the two candidates were very interesting candidates with the sole motive of achieving a common goal but with contrasting ideas on how to achieve the goal. Hence, only one could definitely achieve this goal of leading their nation for at least the next 4 years, and that one was to be decided by the populace after hearing their contrasting views on issues affecting their welfare. And majority decided it is Trump they feel can take America to the next level. However, this is just the beginning of a new America and questions such as "How to boost their economy as China, Japan and Russia are posing a big threat to the nation's economy; How to raise GDP and ensure sustainable economic growth; How to recreate unemployment and prevent loss of jobs; and how to develop a new America that would stand the test of time" readily needs be answered. So, let's celebrate their decision and sit back and relax to see how the next 4 years would unfold for America. Please before you bash me, go and see their previously held debates and draw your conclusions from their debates so that we can have our discussion.

Afonja views are irrelevant considering they rooted for the dullard. The Yoruba race will be self balkanized in the near future because of their collective stupidity in voting a dullard . Soon will be hearing of Osun Baptist yorubas against osogbo dunce Muslims. You guys are finished as a race, people and an identity. . 1 Like |
