samuelson06:
Your analysis assumes Donald Trump is taking advantage of something and you are trying to expose it.

Once again you are taking things from your head and attributing them to me. If I ask you to show me where I said that Donald Trump is taking advantage of anything, you'll manufacture something else from your head and attribute it to me.

If I want to say something, I'll say it straight, there's no need for you to manufacture all these things from your head.

First you said that I said that it's a bad thing for Donald Trump to win the election. I asked you for proof and you abandoned that and ran to something else.

General Yakubu Gowon returns from exile (1983)

During his independence broadcast in 1974, General Yakubu Gowon said that the planned return to civilian rule in 1976 was no longer feasible. This annoyed some military officers who were tired of military rule.

The military officers, most of whom fought in the Civil War, felt that military rule was not good for the Armed Forces. They felt that it was dividing the Army (already there had been talk about who should get government positions, those that actually fought in the war or those that didn't). These soldiers felt that Gowon was enjoying government position too much and they felt that they needed to remove him, so that the Army could go back to the barracks.

These soldiers were led by Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, Joseph Nanven Garba and Abdullahi Mohammed. However, they decided that they did not want to rule, rather they would hand over power to Murtala Muhammed, Olusegun Obasanjo and Theophilus Danjuma.

Gowon was overthrown on July 29th, 1975, exactly 9 years after he became head of state.

He was in Kampala, Uganda at the time that he was overthrown and although the new government said that he could return to Nigeria, he chose to go on exile in the UK.

Gowon had absolutely nothing when he went on exile. Presidents Eyadema and Idi Amin gave him a little bit of money for his upkeep.

Later on the military began to pay his pension

General Gowon enrolled for a political science course at a university in the UK and this alarmed the British Government. They felt that, as a former head of state, he should have informed them if he wanted to study and they would have arranged something for him. However, Gowon rejected their offer and chose to attend the university like any other undergraduate.

The Nigerian Government was also alarmed when pictures of Gowon carrying his own tray at the university canteen were published by newspapers. They said that Gowon was a former head of state and he didn't need to embarrass Nigeria in that way. They sent officials to the UK to try to talk him out of it, but it didn't work. Gowon wanted to be like any other student.

Then, on Friday, February 13th, 1976, Gowon's successor, General Murtala Muhammed, was killed in a coup. The Nigerian Government accused Gowon of being involved in the coup. They privately asked the British Government to extradite him, but the British refused.

Then the Nigerian Government stopped paying his pension and retroactively dismissed him from the army. Nigerians in the UK organised a fund raising campaign to raise funds for his upkeep.

General Gowon got his first degree, masters and doctorate degree in political science from universities in the UK.

President Shehu Shagari issued state pardons to Emeka Ojukwu and Yakubu Gowon and urged them to return to Nigeria. They both came back in March 1983.

This is a video of Gowon's return to Nigeria.

So no where to watch the tournament live?

There are campaign finance laws in the United States that limit the amount of money that a person can donate to a campaign. However, people develop all kinds of methods to get around the laws. They create political action committees (PAC) and donate via those committees, some CEOs encourage their workers to individually donate to a campaign, etc.

America (the organisation that runs the petition) is a political action committee that was set up by Mr Musk and others and he has pledged to donate $45 million a month to it.

Mr Musk is not directly donating to Donald Trump's campaign, instead, he is paying people to sign a petition. In his previous announcement he said that he will only pay people who refer voters, but in this announcement he has said that he will pay voters directly. Pennsylvania is a swing state (that is, it is not fully republican or democrat) and swing states usually determine the results of presidential elections.

Update:

Musk Will Give $1 Million Every Day To Pennsylvania Voters Who Sign His Petition
