Great. Why will I continue to fund what is no longer serving my interest. Trump is not a politician that all they know it throw money away that has no strategic value, he is a business man. There must be value for every penny. It's the same reason some lazy Nigerians will say rich men are stingy! No they are are not, they just want value for money. I hope our politicians learn from this. Good morning everyone TGIF...

You know nothing about geo politics . America is not the world's most powerful nation because of its military but because of its influence and that influence comes from it's currency . If other world powers want to pay their dues to these international agencies they pay in their currencies,the British pay there dues to the UN and other agencies in pounds and Europe pays in euros . Now if you were one of these agencies and have received support in pounds and euro would you change it to dollars to make transactions? In the long run it reduces the dependence of these agencies on the US dollar and how is that good for the US , OMO it's just common sense .Trump is running American influence into the ground and it's crazy that's both the Dems and republicans are powerless to do anything about it.

Capernum:
But the America under Trump is stronger, more powerful and respected. Not a dumping ground it used to be.

The crime of Trump is that, he decided to class America above other nations, leveraging on their military might and economic power. The crime of Trump is that he wants to restore the originality of America void of hetero-cultural and inter-religio contamination.


If all world leaders think like this, the world will be better. Whoever is angry with Trump is obviously bias... Due to his or her inferiority. Native Americans are proud of Trump.

No matter how powerful you are you need allies, ask the nazis . Power is useless without allies

Don't worry, Secretary-General, midterm elections will send Donald Trump packing out of the White House.

KingOfAmebo:
I want to ask you two questions, please answer with an open mind, Is the Trump administration acting like a democratically elected government or a snatch, steal and bully smaller nation dictator style government?

Secondly, Is the American government making more friends or creating more enemies?

The answers you give depends on your level of intelligence.

See, my friend, thorough leadership is not for the emotional weaklings. It's not for anyone seeking general and global acceptance. Sometimes, everybody may be wrong and only you are right. You need to convince others by walking and fighting alone regardless of what they say. The end will eventually justify you.

If not for Trump, Islamic radicals will take over America is just 20 years with the rate they invaded that territory. Trump knows what he is doing and America will be proud of him eventually.

Nobleou:
Only use one of the bold words. Tautology

I'm glad you learnt something from the whole piece, your school was well utilised, follow me for more grammatical lessons.

Must you must detect early when your allies are evolving into adversaries. You must quickly discern, take a stand and decide to walk alone. The allies will join you later. Leadership is not for the feeble. Allies are important but not indispensable in every case.

Nahunger:
I understand the 80/20 principles.

Politicians especially career ones are all about making money and profit to enjoy their retirement.

So they negotiate from greed, personal perspective but shroud it in a veil of national interest, Trump being a business man, is applying his business strategy in leadership, which is why anything he does is either being slammed or clamped down on by the political class who have no life outside the confines of public funds..

Meanwhile for the NAHUNGER name, I took it up at a downtime in my life and to remember our late nairaland member "HUNGERBAD" I loved reading his posts and comments with "Tonyebarcanista before he became political.

Also the name makes me not to argue or exchange insults with nairalanders who try to attack and insult me, I simply just say NAHUNGER dey push them to do what they are doing lol 😂

I came to hear the name "HUNGERBAD" after I joined.

I commiserate with those who knew him and I pray that our own actions exemplify the best human ideals his life stood for.

And as per your choice of a name, I just laughed again and again.

Concerning Trump, we seem to be in agreement. But please no loud am for this Nigeria ooo, people fit attack you. I don talk my own oo.

#walking away before they join the 2 of us together#

Thank you for making my day. God bless you.

Meanwhile, creating more enemies is not a problem. If you decide to better your experiences and reach a great height, if you decide to show your true worth, get ready to have plenty enemies. See, all these enemies will become friends eventually when they have accepted that America is way above them.

I pity whoever takes over from Trump as US president, a lot of these moves have lasting implications.

Trump is keen on taking away all the leverages the US built over her allies for decades.

To the folks who don’t understand what’s at stake, do you truly believe that the US presidents that have sustained these alliances for decades were all stupid?

America has lost all her soft power under Trump, the remaining military might will be vulnerable without trusted allies

This particular move is a very strategic move. No American leader democrat and Republicans alike will return to old normal. For many years now UN has increasingly been anti American and west.

You are right , but the US is the one turning into an Adversary. You can't bully the whole world into doing What you want . No country on this earth gets everything it wants. Take Greenland for example, the US wants Greenland for its resources but Greenland is already under demark a nato member. If your cousin comes to your house , takes your TV and claims he needs it because it's important he must have tv in his own house , what will your entire family do it him? See it's just a matter of time because NATO turns on the US . No matter how powerful the US might be it cannot fight the rest of the world and win . US will end up being the common enemy. Trump should go ask Hitler .

money buys influence anywhere in the world , take away that money and the influence goes. The becomes less influential. Who loses the most ? The US

Does it not shocking to you the UN That was created to simply help to prevent war, as turned to different many organizations? The UN have over or more than 100 organizations. For what purposes? If you hear some you will be shocked. The only important thing in UN And give you influence is the SECURITY COUNCIL . The have vote power. The rest are not important.

Flets:
US soft powers depend solely on these associations. Trump has succeeded in isolating US on the world stage

Trump has succeeded in alienating all her allies and neighbors. All US have left is her military might and it will take a Russia/ China minimal efforts to court all the allies that Trump seem to be fighting

Within US mainland, things have not been better. Prices of goods and services has maintained an upward trajectory, medical insurance premiums are almost unaffordable, MAGA is in disarray, even Trump acknowledges an impeachment if the republicans lose the mid-term.

I ask again, what metric is going right for the US citizen under Trump?

BUSINESS UNUSUAL.

My brother, my transition from political commentary and analysis to active partisan politics should be encouraged. The reason is that while commentators and Analysts may write/say beautiful things and espouseideas, it is the active politicians who secures votes to implement these things and redirect the course of the society for the better.

Unfortunately, I agree with you on the state of politicians in Nigeria, but you would agree that if sound people who are patriotic were involved in politics ab initio, the idiots would not be dominating the system, just like it was in the first and second republics.

What you should be concerned is whether I am now "part of them," this will be judged by my actions.

Meanwhile, a surprise is coming...

Happy New Year 2026

Very commendable brother.
I wish you well in your travels...


We live in a society where the masses want immediate benefits not promises, intelligent or selfless leaders..


It's a case of majority (Unlearned) vote their projection on the minority (Learned)

I absolutely agree with you. But first thing first, we must reevaluate how we recruit people into positions of responsibility, who will recruit and the social contract binding us and people who we place into position of authority

How do you convince when the majority are only after their stomach and are in control of leadership machinery t

Make things easier. You start with the minority within your circle, and expand your network from there. Everyone is an advocate, but your style and works should be the most convincing acts.

Do what Jesus did to spread his teachings

I am doing my bits,

Helping younger generations enjoy financial stability by employing labour and being a supportive boss rather than an oppresive boss..

We still have lots of youths without conscience or morals, from; Yahoo, Ritualist, mentally lazy people and they are out procreating the same minds.
