One of the lessons to
be learned from this Trump episode is, “nobody can stop you until you stop”.
Unlike many Nigerians Donald Trump has being on my radar since as far back as 2010,
for the wrong reasons of course. I first came across the Trump “personality”
when I managed to read just two chapters of his self acclaimed bestselling book
“Think Big, Kick Ass”. His diction, his tone and puff in those first two
chapters steered up a dust of discord between me his personality. A dust that
has lasted till date and is not likely to settle anytime soon. However a good
lesson to been learned is a good lesson to be learned, not withstanding its
source.
In 2000, Donald Trump
voluntarily withdrew from the presidential race, on the ground that the Reform
party under which he wanted run was too dysfunctional to support his campaign as
well as they didn’t stand a chance against the Republicans and the Democrats.
It took Trump another sixteen years formerly declare interest for the Oval
office after series of speculation between 2004 and 2012. I personally think
that those years of speculation were years of preparation and study of the
naivety and gullibility of the white republican voting majority.
Donald Trump’s victory
at the polls in November 2016 preaches resilience, doggedness and a never say
die belief in your abilities, among other things. How Donald Trump ended
election night as Donald Triumph is a still a mystery to me and many other
Hillary faithful around the world, even as some Hillary supporters are holding
anti-Trump protest in the U.S.A at this time. The fact is, I do not like Donald
Trump, but I love his resilience. I sincerely think Hillary a better President, if given the office,
but come January 20, 2017, Trump will be President whether anybody likes it or
not. These anti-Trump campaigns, if converted into votes for Hillary Clinton on
election night would have being more resourceful to keep Trump out of the Oval
office, all the media back lashing and propaganda didn’t. However that ship has
long sailed.
I congratulate America on making what I see as
a terrible decision. I congratulate Donald Trump for his trust in the
gullibility of Republican Americans to make such a terrible choice, and I
sympathies with John McCain, Mitt Romney for finding themselves on the wrong
side of the Trumping.
