I said it before. Let me look for the post.
Here:

This is just the beginning.

And in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump suggested he would keep elements of Obamacare after an appeal from Obama, including a provision allowing people with pre-existing conditions to get coverage and another that allows parents to keep their older kids on their policies up to the age of 26.

"I told him I will look at his suggestions, and out of respect, I will do that," Mr. Trump told the Journal
-----


Have you asked yourself why Trump mentioned high flying assets as part of what he discussed with Obama during their first meeting at the white house

The truth is Obama begged Trump not to erase his legacy.

He presents himself as a monster. Not anyone.
All he said is in record. Those were not even quoted words but heard from his mouths.

In any case, he can't even push through a third of his campaign pledges.

He has already started to backtrack from his promise to repeal Obamacare.

Kindly share those quotes that portrayed him as a monster.

As per his policies he hasn't been sworn in as president yet so it'll be better you avoid passing judgement. And if you expect him to maintain confrontational posture whilst there a transition process in place then it clearly shows you don't understand politics.

There shouldn't be any for fear except such individuals except they are illegal immigrants or law breakers.

I refuse to to get carried away that Trump is a monster as the democrats made some people to believe.

The emergence of Donald Trump as the President-elect of the United States of America has shocked the entire world.

Africans, Mexicans, Muslims and several other people and interests, who were the target of Trump’s campaign have expressed different views on the president-elect.

Trump, the candidate of the Republicans Party, defeated Hillary Clinton, candidate of the Democratic Party, after a bitterly fought election that was marred by a blackmail-filled campaign, which left the people divided.

Trump’s campaign, tagged ‘Make America great again’, was largely hinged on threats to send immigrants back to their home countries.

With the emergence of Trump as the next president of the US, The Nation spoke with some Nigerians resident there (US) on their reactions to some of Trump’s campaign issues.

For George Nikoro, a Nigerian resident in Denver, Colorado, it is still premature to say whether Trump will carry out his threat. He, however, said the president-elect may have made those threats as a ploy to win the election.

He said: “There is fear, but it is too premature to decide that Trump is going to carry out all those threats. From all indications, he was just saying all those things to appeal to the electorate.

“When he starts acting as president, all these things he said that he is going to build a fence, he was just spewing them out to appeal to the electorate during the campaigns.

“Also on deportation, America is a country that is organised. I don’t see Trump coming up with a deportation squad. So, I don’t see it happening. He is not going to do anything without the approval of congress.”

In the opinion of Oluwaseun Ogunniyi, who lives in Maryville, Illinois, all immigrants in the US are anxious over the anticipated Trump’s policy on immigration. According to him, Nigerians, like other immigrants in the US, are scared that it will be more difficult to get opportunities to remain in the country on a long term basis.

“Nigerians here have the same fears as those of immigrants from other countries. There are anxieties about how Trump’s immigration policies might make it more difficult for people to get visa to study and work. Ultimately, people are scared that it will be more difficult to get opportunities to stay here on a long-term basis.

“There are also concerns about how this can further aggravate violence and all forms of abuse against minorities. People are also worried about how sound his foreign policy will be, if it will not be disastrous for the rest of the world. This is due to the fact that this man will be controlling the most powerful army in the world,” Ogunniyi said.

Olagbenro Oladipupo, resident in Madison, is not surprised with the emergence of Trump.

“I wasn’t surprised. For some reasons, I knew Trump would win. The Democrat Party, media and public intellectuals tried to trivialise Hillary’s baggage of scandals. This is a great undoing on their part. Someone is telling you to “Make America Great Again”, he is getting a lot of followers to buy this message and you think he is stupid? For a long time, liberals in America have pursued liberal ideologies that are threatening the values of white middle class Americans. In trying to please everyone, liberals robbed some of their values. They voted Trump as a protest.

“As a Nigerian, I really do not care if Trump is elected or not; I am not afraid. I am here illegally. As a Black man, my humanity will be a little bit bruised. But, really what do we expect? America is not my country. I don’t expect myself to think I can act anyhow here. America belongs to those who own it.

“The worst scenario is that America gets too hostile for me to live in as a Nigerian. And the last time I checked, I wasn’t exiled from Nigeria. I can always return home. Maybe a mass return of Nigerians in Diaspora would even help shake things up and make Nigeria great again if we were ever great. Only those who think they can’t make it in Nigeria or anywhere else should be afraid.”

Francis Fapohunda of Tucson, California, condemned the reactions by Nigerians who took to twitter, facebook and other social media platforms to mock their kinsmen in the US. He is, however, optimistic that Trump may turn out to be a good leader like the late Ronald Regan, who was also an entertainer.

“In my honest opinion, I think Trump said all those things to become president. I am expecting he is going to be different from his campaign now that he is president-elect. There is fear, but I am sure the American people will not allow him do all that he threatened to do.

“On Nigerians at home mocking Nigerians in America; they don’t understand the politics of America. Yes, the victory was a major setback, but the American congress will checkmate his activities.

“Ronald Regan was more of an entertainer than a politician, but he did well as president. Let’s just watch and see how things unfold.”

slurryeye:
Did you just say white americans are native?

No I didn't say that.

slurryeye:
He didn't demolish any establishment because he has been part of the establishment for a very long time. What made Trump won was getting to the sensitive side of white americans especially the uneducated rednecks and hillbillies. He came out to preach white supremacy and taking back america from the hands of immigrants and non-white. A typical white american especially the non-college educated can't wrap their heads round a black man with middle name Hussein being their president for 8 years. They wanted someone that will assure them that they still matter and america is still a white men country, Trump understand that message and he ran with it. With demography of about 70% white people of the total population spreading across the country, he knew that the message he needed to pass was tell them white race is supreme and other races are piece of sh.it.
If you understand this American election, you will realized that Trump didn't win the popular vote, as matter of fact he knew he didn't need the popular vote to win. He knew all what he needed is to beat Hillary with a big margin in the rural american states and get enough electoral votes to get him 270
That's why I giggled when I see Nigerians making sense out of Trump becoming president because dude gives no mess about any other race except white

He's not part of the 'establishent' of policy makers, political power brokers cutting across the globe representing American interests/foreign policies.

Agreed he appealed to the sensibilities of white Americans /natives and identified with them but he didn't break any law cos they felt assured he consider them to be of importance in the scheme of an achieving better lives / America.

The man is a Machiavellian, he did what he had to do to win cos he understands the game better than some gave him credit and got needed support to achieve his aim.

The dude is smart.

Ccdavies:
Please who ever read through this Term paper should please summarize what he said finally.. Thank you

A look at the picture explains it all.

Abati is seriously wailing on behalf of Hillary and American political establishment.

Caseless:
I hope that doesn't happen-he must be checkmated .


I foresee an impeachment for trump in the event of displaying his excesses just to call it a presidential order.

DT will surely push some of his campaign promises cos he's a successful man who often gets what he wants but politics is about losing some and winning some.

I look forward to his administration cos it's gonna be interesting.

Ribaman:
Adolfo Hitler, leader of the Nazi party, was intelligent. In fact, he won a national election as well. You go figure out the rest.

Why are you guys so much afraid of Trump

The electioneering campaigns are over for goodness sake and it's time Americans move ahead for a better country. Demonizing the president elect will only create more divisiveness.

Caseless:
who would do this? The divisive trump himself?

I've always maintained that a victory for trump would bring America's downfall faster than it's desired by her enemies. The signs are here! Americans might not survive this political mistake they made in voting trump.

You can't be too sure of that cos republicans and other stakeholders won't allow Trump a free reign that'll bring down the whole house.

America is not a country where rule of law is often abused nor an oligarchy.

RABIUSHILE04:
What do you propose they do?

Arresting those guys and apprehending those barges will be a better option.

Or isn't it ironic the FG is proposing a clean up of the ND and at same time blowing up barges containing stolen crude

Noneroone:
is still suffering from post traumatic stress

Or post elections loss.

ba7man:
I don't know ooo...... ask the Niger Delta Avengers too.


I've stopped being a Niger Delta environmentalist so all join.

Lol

NDA go say e no concern me that's it's their oyel.

And why you no wan be environmentalist again Na. Oya give ya former members number make I ask dem

drss2:
dam u just took d words right out of my mouth. just wat i wanted to say until i saw ur mention.
dont mind dem clinton fanatics.

They are inadvertently stoking a self-induced "arab spring" that may boomerang cos should the pro Trump side decides to confront them then ...SMH.

The American establishment sore losers should help calm frail nerves and rallied the country together to stop mischief makers from creating more problems.

Moreover it's the first litmus test of Trump's administration and I hope he handles it maturely.

Is there no better way than adding to the pollution of the environment

drss2:
liberal hypocrites doing wat they know how to do best - their way or d highway. n they call demselves liberals some clinton fans ar fanatics. very intolerant.

Ironically it's the same set of people who maligned Trump when he wasn't specific on accepting the elections result. But now they are the ones going overboard cos they lost.

Bunch of intolerant sore losers.

He should start the violence by killing himself first.

Nonsense.

Axon:
....


Men, this guy's job is hard

He stands between two powerful interests hell bent on wrecking the country to the ground... bubu vs militants

Lol

You mean between the devil and the deep blue sea

Caseless:
I always see this happening.

Should that happens then US will automatically brings its own version of arab spring upon herself...talking of karma.

However I don't think those losers will result to such crude tactics lest they create a major crisis that may boomerang into racial killings cos the country is already divided.

It is paramount they heal the wound of division from the elections.

TonyeBarcanista:
Where was this man when NDA was bursting pipeline in Ijawland?

Where was Jonathan when politicians turned Rivers state to Rivers of blood?

Where was Jonathan when Shia were killed by his government (in 2013) and Buhari government in 2015 simply because they did peaceful procession?

Jonathan, please mind your business! You have no opinion in American Affairs.


Aproko

So because of those issues a former president who's widely acclaimed shouldn't say anything about US elections?

And haven't you as usual penned one of your usual epistles regarding same election or should i ask when you'll be doing so if you haven't?

At times I want to believe those who termed you a 'chameleonic' flip flop.

They'll soon calm down cos Trump won fair and square.

Nigeria survived a volatile 2015 electioneering campaigns despite our complex multiethnic society and no less is expected of the US which consider herself a symbol of democracy.

Have you asked the lizard of Ubima if his boys aren't involved

Kindly beam a searchlight also on those who aren't in support of Edwin Clark committee.

Those sore losers (the establishment) will only consider such option if they'll get away with it.

It'll be better Americans allow him settle down for governance than creating more crisis for themselves.

"Donald Trump heard a voice out in this country that no one else heard. He connected with -- he connected in ways with people no one else did. He turned politics on its head and now Donald Trump will lead a unified Republican government,"

-Speaker Paul Ryan

No matter what people says about him he demolished the whole establishment to achieve what no other politician has done before and got a home run against all odds and helped the Republicans to win both house of reps and the senate.

Anyone who still thinks Trump isn't intelligent needs to have his/her head examined.

richidinho:
Wise man

He's using Trump's against all odds victory to promote his business....it's allowed...it's the 'trending' way of seeking attention presently

Whatever rocks his boat.

My own concerns is there should be a level playing field for all contestants to prove their popularity and acceptance.

Olusola Oke is OK.

I'll be giving out a million thumbs up for Trump too.

The man that gave Killary Clinton and the entire American political establishment a humiliating defeat.

Sai Trump.

Forwetinnah:
May your days be long on earth...if only Nigerians knew the harm people like Abdulsami, OBJ and the likes of Wole Soyinka are causing in Nigeria, they'll be stoned to death. Those old fools are CIA Sleeper agents in Africa, knocking democracies down just for international recognition. I pity people who still have faith in them. Back to the topic? Was the US ever involved in the fight against BH in Nigeria? What a load of bunkum?!

Amen and you too.

Some simpletons still believe the US is sincerely interested in ending terrorism cos they donated funds and some old minesweepers when they ought to have supported our quest to procure weapons to fight BH.

The shenanigans and holier than thou US foreign policy stinks to high heavens.
