The Sad News Of Trump’s Triumph, By Reuben Abati by KENNING2010: 3:42pm On Nov 11, 2016 |
“Democracy is tricky; it sometimes ends up as a parody of itself. When the people clamour for change, they can vote with their hearts, and prove impervious to plain sight reason, and overlook likely pitfalls. We can only hope that Donald Trump does not become the symbol of the change that Americans are seeking. That would be sad indeed for the free world.” – Reuben Abati, “Anything Can Happen in America”, The Guardian, March 6, 2016. http://skytrendnews.com/2016/11/11/sad-news-trumps-triumph-reuben-abati/ 19 Likes 4 Shares

Trump has made made me to study P. T. Barnum seriously once more. // Trump's promises only makes me remember the greatest conman of all time, P. T. Barnum. Barnum is a man well-versed in psychology. None of us will escape Barnum if he wants you to enter his shows. He once had a show that was aimed at advancing one of his goals. He tagged the show Free Music For Millions, and he had the crowd. Who wouldn't want a Free stuff lmusic)? // Barnum once had an old black woman who he said was the nanny of some American founder and he charged fee for people to see her. // His promises were outrageous, even unbelievable but hardly run foul of the law. His motto is, "Every crowd has a silver lining." He's a master psychologist who fools the people a thousand times and they still forgive and flock to him, cos he always has something up his sleeves. Trump's a Barnum incarnate. Look at his speeches and you'll see that they're full of hyperbolic adjectives and descriptions, just like Barnum's. People love Barnum because he can entertain, which he uses to pull rag over their faces. The diff. is Barnum stayed within the circus business, and most of his victims realized he was a con only after his death. For Trump, we'll see how he'll marry the make-believe world of circus and showmanship with governance. Trump's promises were jumbo. And FYI, Barnum is said to be the reason why the word "Jumbo" entered the English language 56 Likes 7 Shares |

"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," 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. 135 Likes 8 Shares

Caseless: 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. 3 Likes |

America has decided to spit in the face of history and opt for misogyny birthed by ultra-conservatism. dats the main reason why I would have bet my life on that election if it's possible that Clinton would win. No sane country like USA should take an experience politician over an egoistical racist business man. but USA is a country full of surprises, like play like play a black man became president and today a sonafabitch is replacing him. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

pu.ssy grabber as president ![]() [b]Now for Callous Nigerians that think 1) Trump will deport all Nigerians in America: Forget it, it can never happen unless such person is an illegal immigrant 2) Trump will end Islamic terrorist: In as much as I want this to happen, forget it, he won't end it. As a matter of fact, he is likely to make it more complicated if he makes a wrong step like George Bush 3) Trump will assist in their independence: Forget it, that dude gives no flying fuc.k about Africa or whatever happens to you 4) Trump says the truth: Actually, he never said any truth. He only said things that white americas especially the uneducated ones want to hear. infact, he consistently lied, and lied about his lies. The one Aspirant that said the Truth is Bernie Sanders 5) Trump is an outsider: Honestly, he is not an outsider. Though not a seasoned politician, but Trump has been visible in America politics since the time of Ronald Reagan either as a supporter, critic or sponsor 6) Trump will make america great again: Seriously, if Trump decided to do all what he said in his campaign like cancelling Nafta, invading Iraq, cancel nuclear deal with Iran, building wall on Mexico borders, closing borders to muslim, carrying out stop n frisk in major cities, support Israel again palestine, going after Nato, forming alliance with putin etc. not only is america going to be in a total mess when he is done, the world will shake in its foundation[/b] 16 Likes 3 Shares |

TheFreeOne: 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 fuc.k about any other race except white 16 Likes |
