American Elections 11 Nov 2016
Donal Trump
is the President
I always get a feeling who’s going to win in an election. I
never been wrong, well, up to now. I was so sure of it I bet on it. I knew even
from 18 months ago that Hillary Clinton was made for it. Finally, America was
going to choose a women president not because she is a woman but she happens to
be a woman. But I had a doubt and I just ignored it; I could not get a feeling that
Donal Trump, if you disregard what he’s saying during the campaign, looked
credible and might be chosen. I mean he is educated, majoring in Economics. He
is more than well-off. Most important of all he loves his family and his
country which makes him connect with people. I still had decided not give it much
thought as I believed people are not that sense lacking of whom the best
candidate is for their country. I mean who would choose someone who says going
to build a wall over 1500 km length costing 12 billion, because there is a
threat of few immigrants getting into the country illegally? Just proposing this
would make him a “no” for most people I thought.
Believe it or not I was Hillary Clinton who has won the
majority of the votes by over 2.2 Million. But just like George Bush, he too
won the Presidency through the Electoral College, 4th time happening
in the history of the US Elections. Some people been wanting the Electoral College
to be abolished but they cannot as it in the US constitution just like gun laws
which says ‘every citizen has right to bear an arm’. Changing the US
constitution has never been tried in its 217 years of history and unlikely to
do so as no president would receive the support of the Congress unless there is
real and legitimate threat or benefit to the country by a mile.
World needs a leader
So, what can we expect for the future of the Unites States
and the World in the next 4 years? We have seen what the absence of the US is
doing to the World during the last 8 ways or too much presence is not healthy
too as we have seen in Iraq. World does need a good leader, or be in a
transitional period until one. As wrong leaders been taking the gap. Bashar Assad
continue to have the support of Vladimir Putin since why he has able to lengthen
his atrocities. In fact, every corrupt leader seems to have the support of
Vladimir Putin and he is also threatening the peacefulness of Europe which
makes the World even lesser safe place. So someone with strong voice needs to
tell Russia to shut-up. Europe been wanting that kind of a leader.
Unfortunately, Donal Trump is not that kind of a leader. Also China threatening
Taiwan, not deceasing support of for North Korea and claiming ownership in the
South China Sea. Most South East Asian countries feeling threatened by China. Obama’s
thought of US absence would make the World much safer did not come true.
Will he do what he says?
There is this English proverb ‘the seat makes the man wiser’.
So I’m hoping he will be matured as he takes the position and align himself
with what is sensible. I already can see signs of that as with his recent
meeting with Obama. He already decided not to scrap Obamacare entirely but keep
some elements of it. I guess he is someone who is from and been living in the
US’s largest city New York. And in big cities you do get a feeling that you’re
in a bubble. You do disconnect with the rest of the Country. Even he wants to go through with everything
he says, it very unlikely as he would need to get the support of the Congress.
He might use the Executive order but I could see he’s becoming much wiser as he
is about to take the position but still it remains to be seen and the next 4
years definitely
does not look predictable at all.
