The whites in America had decided to take back there country by putting the whole world execpt Igbos in shock and fear not knowing what will happen tomorrow.
Blacks, latinos and hispanics in america are in total fear like the rest of the world.
This election had revealed the deep and unspoken hatred and racism in america.

I voted for Trump and I have no regret.

USA was gradually sliding into era of nauseating political correctness whereby evil must be clothed in euphemism.

It was a choice between two mediocre candidates. However, Donald Trump is known for consistency in ideology since the 80s. The oligarch wanted a puppet and Hillary fits the profile. But electoral votes gave victory to Trump.

Kudos to him.

there is nothing sad about Donald Trump victory, it is sad only to the few who felt that their support to a particular candidate represent the popular will of the people, that is why those few alwalys subverts the majority voters in favour of their prefered choice especially in Nigeria. That woman was not even popular among the American people, the media overrated her because of her husband relationship with them years back as US president. The American people have made their choice through votes so any body complaining now is only causing damage to his BP.

Everything Trump said this year or last year is what he has been saying since early 80s. No flip flops. But US politicians are great sales people with the same pitch every year. Yet nothing changes.
Of course, Trump has his major flaws. So does Hillary.

By the way, make sure to investigate the source of all the propaganda against Trump. Are you aware that the higher you go, the more you find out that a lot of media outlets are owned by one parent company. Eg. Viacom owns MTV, Spike, Comedy Central, BET, VH1, Nickolodeon, etc.
Time Warner owns HBO, CNN, TBS,TNT.
G.E owns NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, A&E, etc.

The more you look, the more you find out that all media entities in USA are owned by only 4 entities. Their support follows top-down approaches while the masses think that they are getting information from different outlets.

Similar scenario will be the case of Luxottica. This company makes all the glass frames for Chanel, Prada, Gorgio Armani, Burberry, Versace, D&G, Tory Burch, etc. Have you seen how the masses are paying different prices for the same frames manufactured by the same company under different labels?

The world we live in is not as complicated as most people will love to believe. There are oligarchs calling the shots and Hillary is their puppet.

For your listening pleasure, I found this:

Washington Post, CNN, ABC, the whole establishment media were against Trump and here you are citing them as your references. Truly in this age it's best to listen to both the mainstream media and the alternative media, weigh the news in the balance of reason, of history, of truth and reach your conclusions. At the end do we really know what goes on in the dark labyrinths of government? Hitler once said how fortunate for government that those over whom they rule are ignorant.

To be honest, Hillary wasn't a good choice for president of the US, she's too dirty and committed to war, with Hillary, the chance of world war 3 happening is high which is why most people who really understands what Trump's win means for the world peace is celebrating.

We just hope, the cabals won't convert trump into a war monger like obama.

It doesn't help to know that Washington Post was bought by Jeff Bezos, the amazon.com billionaire with personal cash. As such it is not a subsidiary of Amazon. Notably, he is a sworn enemy of Trump.

The oligarchs are really writhing in pain over Trump's win. I am somewhat worried for Trump. Think of what happened to Kennedy when he planned to move against the establishment.

Sorry bro, Trump is the president, the electoral college wont make Hillary the president. Stop hoping on that. Trump won the electoral vote by 290, the electoral college meeting on 19th December to vote are more like rubber stamps. Follow the history of US elections, the electoral college always vote for whoever wins the electoral vote and it's not going to change anytime soon unless America wants to show to the world that their democracy is a facade, which they don't intend to do.

On Iraq, america has no business invading Iraq in the first place, it was a terrible mistake by Bush. Trump blaming Obama for pulling out troops and creating ISIS is the lamest point ever. After ousting Saddam Hussein and transitioning Iraq to a democratic government, america cannot legally have troops in Iraq unless Iraqi government gives them the go ahead. And if trump thinks he can have air raid in Iraq without any reason, he will make things worse than Bush did. Simple truth, he can't end ISIS

As regards Israel and Palestine, though America is a strong ally to Israel, as a matter of fact recently pledge $38B for 10 years in arms to Israel, past American presidents always advise Israel and Palestine to maintain. But with Trump as president, Israeli government believes is time to wipe Palestine off the surface of earth
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/09/israeli-minister-donald-trumps-win-means-the-palestinians-will-n/

Lastly on Russia, though Russia and America are allies, however they have been in loggerhead in recent time due to where they both stand on some issues. Russia basically support a dictator and war criminal Assad, and Illegal invade Ukraine. The whole world is looking up to united nations and America to have a dialogue with Putin. But with Trump as president who's fond of Putin (more like Putin's puppet), Russia will do whatever it likes and however it likes it. Do you know what that implies, any country could invade any other country they feel like. China invading Taiwan, North Korea invading South Korea, Iran invading Iraq etc.

World politics is looking very gloomy my friend unless Trump does entirely different things to what he campaigned about



That's the fact. He Lied to get hold of Power, he need to change direction now, then manage his lies for the next 4yrs. If he lives up to his lies, it's a disaster for the U.S and the world. Most of the people who voted are shallow, he keeps making promises without giving enough breakdown of how he'll accomplish them, but they care less, all they want is a Messiah.

There's no way Trump won't be war monger, The Republicans have far more records of war than the democrat govt. And no matter how much anyone hate Obama, he is far more discrete and more coordinated in making decisions than Trump.

what a well written balanced piece by Ruben Abati. I believe the mystery behind Donald Trump emergence as American emergency President will one day be unravel by history and posterity. I strongly believe Donald Trump will not go beyond first term presidency, if at all he is able to complete the first term.but then Trump is not a man of Honor, he can do a 360 degree on all his vituperations before the election and tie the path of reformed democrat and listen to voice of reason. But Trump as now is riding the tiger by the tail. if he goes on to deliver his election promises, America stands at the labyrinth of isolation and a pariah -given Russia the most coveted leadership of the world.. if he make a u-turn, his constituency will disavowed him and may lead to his impeachment. it's a waiting game

Hitler actually won an election and was voted in as the Chancellor of Germany.i think it was in 1933 or thereabout .It was after he was voted into office that he staged a sort of coup and made himself the supreme leader or fuhrer of germany.He also made himself loved by the German ppl by blaming Jews for their woes...the same way trump made himself loved by blaming immigrants for Americas woes.

Trump has made it clear that if he bcomes president he will withdraw the US frm the international sphere.if that happens the UN bcomes impotent in solving disputes hence nations will have no option to arm themselves with nukes to tell off other powerful nations.

He was appointed Chancellor after the Nazi party won more seats in the Reichstag( sort of national assembly). The only elections he actually contested, he finished runner up. My point is the comparison to Trump is too extreme. Trump could have said things similar to what Hitler said, but I believe comparing them is a bit of an exergerration. The American institution is too complex and too woven for Trump to carry out his mundane threats. For one, he can't build a wall to keep out Mexico. It costs about $25bn to do that. He won't get the required Congress support to carry it out. He can't withdraw the US forces from East Europe and South China Sea. Doing that will result in the middle East and Europe being over run with terrorists and North Korea getting more aggressive on the South. Even if he wanted to, I'm sure Congress would find away to impeach him. For most, he was the lesser of the two evils; so he was picked.

Against any other equally weighted candidate, he would have lost.

You're right. After spending a better part of campaign calling Obamacare the worst thing he ever heard about, he actually came off a meeting with the incumbent saying there were things in Obamacare he actually liked.

Trump electoral promises were at the very least, preposterous. And just like the APC govt in Nigeria, he simply can't deliver on them and that may be his very undoing.
