If someone like Trump becomes the president of an African country, he would be competing with the likes of Museveni and Biya who would last longer in office. Soon, Americans will show him that he's merely leading a country where the rule of law reigns supreme
SHUT UP.

You've been worshipping Trump. Continue with your worship. He has nothing to do with Africa.

Why are people so bias against Trump,so u all want non citizens to be voting in us elections,so that illegal immigrants and terrorist will vote against the good people of united states'.
I stand with Trump on this one, operation show ur ID before voting
If you live for USA, you will know that the last place an illegal immigrant wants to be is the polling booth.

It’s like you saying a thief will purposely carry themselves to be in the book of the police station.

Even people with green card won’t dare do it in a presidential election let alone an illegal immigrant.

The US has now sunk to a new low.just imagine this in the land of democracy and freedom that the world used to look up to?
This guy is doing his best to turn rhr US into a banana Republic as fast as possible.
You have been sold a brilliant lie and beautifully crafted Nollywood story line.
The US has never truly been a land of democracy. Trump is a true identity of who Americans are. It's all deception and lie plus propaganda. Why do you think a real democratic people would vote such a tyrant twice?

Although this is all a waste of time as only US state legislative branch are the ones mandated by the constitution to determine the time, place, and manner of elections and Congress can set regulations to this. No where in the Constitution does the president have any powers over election processes.

Trump is just making it easier for the GOP to lose and his accelerated impeachment much more easier

Come on.

Lets say that you stand with Trump on Voter IDs. I also see nothing wrong with Voter IDs.
Do you also think he has the right to postpone the election? He doesnt.

This is an evidence that electing idiots have consequences. Nigerians will make the same mistake next year.
Bro, I want you to reflect on this.

Do developing nations need democratic process to elect their leaders?

How can such a dedicated leadership be achieved without a democratic process?

Some nations achieved phenomenal growth through one party rule, eg., China and Singapore

South Korea through military rule

Rwanda: multi party system that turned to strong-man rule

Vietnam: one party rule

Eu/Ru/US/AU: these were “old monies” that had emperors who conquered other nations and acquired wealth ; then education and strong institutions that guide them till this day.


Singapore and Malaysia both started at the same mark, but due to a singular rule in Singapore and consistent policies, they were able to overtake Malaysia in terms in development. Similar scenario when we compare China and India.

Let me know your thoughts

Elections are carried out by state legislative and Trump as POTUS has no business to determine how they should be conducted.

Even saying he will postpone the midterms is tantamount to a breach of the constitution as he has no powers anywhere on this earth to cancel or postpone any elections including the Presidential race.

The people fighting him are his own people. He came into power on the mandate of MAGA then made a U-turn and started doing something else like fighting wars, something he criticised governments before his and said he will not do. Do illegal migrants outnumbered real American citizens? If no, then he has nothing to worry about

No one is against having Voter IDs.

The issue is your Trump threatening to abuse his office by ordering an EO postponing the elections.

Separation of powers says he has no powers to pass or make laws, and there is no provisions in the US constitution that gives him the powers to postpone or cancel an incoming election.

Hollywood ko, Hollywood ni. At my age I know a democracy when I see one.
No democracy is perfect, the US democracy was still something to admire until the Orange clown came in and destroyed whatever it jad left.

Rhe US was still considered the land of the free by Billions of people around the world.
Yeah, it has never been perfect and there's no single system anywhere in the world that's perfect. But people all over the world who jave lived in this country can attest to the fact that it's better than what they had in any that came in from.

It’s not difficult, get a voters ID and vote that’s all.
But, y’all chose to leave the message and attack the messenger. Why are humans this difficult? If you want him out get your ID cards
Re: Trump Threatens To Cancel Midterm Elections by TimeManager(m): 4:00pm On Apr 01
He has no power to do no such thing, if he stepped beyond his powers, the judiciary will overrule him.

Elections in the US are not conducted by a Federal body but instead, it is the State legislative that sets the dates and determine the process.

Most states do not require IDs while some do.

Trump should have gotten his GOP state legislators to push for this to be mandatory and with a dedicated state issued ID system but being the dumbass he is, he thinks he can abuse his powers and declare an EO to postpone elections indefinitely.

So what then happens to those currently in Capitol Hill?

Their terms automatically comes to an end since they have not been subjected to another round of elections.

This will see the US not having a Federal legislative branch and from there Trump now becomes god-emperor.

Have you considered this?

Dumb post, dump comment and a need to be seen. Desperately.

Ever asked yourself why your supporters are afraid for voters to be identified for voting as it's been done the world over.

But hey, we're not expecting logic and common sense from people who advocate for M +M

Lovers of Islamic terrorists that kill in NIGERIA are quiet, but open useless threads when a man protecting his country speaks, because he is bombing IRAN.

Is that NOT madness? I just puty christians who dont even know that an agenda is being structurwd in NIGERIA
Let me ask you a simple question:

What then happens to the US Congress when Trump passes his dead on arrival EO postponing the midterm elections?

Are you aware that every serving Senator and Congressman and woman automatically must vacate their seats immediately their tenures expires?

That means the US will not have a legislative branch.


How can Trump run the US without an elected Congress? This alone is impossible as the US constitution puts more powers on Capitol Hill towards checking the excesses of a tyrant President.

Trump will not even be able to run the governmentas only Congress can appropriate money to the executive.

Even all appointments under POTUS within his exectutive branch will become null and void since Congress is mandated to screen and also conduct oversight functions on every executive appointee .

The US constitution does not recognize any federal body as the ones mandated to conduct elections.

Elections are conducted by the respective state legislative.

That's their way.

Did you read what the foolish Trump posted?

So if he can't get his way in Congress he will postpone the midterms.

Does he have the powers to make and pass laws?

What then happens to all serving US Federal legislators when their tenures expire and the idiot Trump some how thinks he can block the midterms? Won't they automatically lose their seats as their tenures have expired?

You guys should try and be thinking before posting here.
