The USA has been Trumped
To me it is no surprise that Donald Trump has become president of the USA; not because he is good, nor is he better (or worse) than Hilary Clinton. He was elected because he is different.
The Americans really had a hard decision as to who vote for on the one hand there was Hilary Clinton, a well-known face in US politics, an ex-first lady and an accomplished politician. On the other hand they have Donald Trump an outspoken bombastic business man who has made and lost billions of dollars in his life time, he has a reputation for being a misogynist and running roughshod over his opponents.
What we are seeing in the USA is the same as we saw here in the UK with a Brexit vote. The people of the world are fed up with the political elite that keep telling us “that we are listening” then they ignore what has been said.
Politicians worldwide are behaving like demi gods, believing they know best; they have all forgotten that they are placed there to serve the people and not to line their own pockets and create a dynasty for their families to join; the number of politicians whose offspring have followed their parents into politics is unbelievable.
No doubt there are many people across the globe howling in fear at the thought of Donald Trump becoming president; yet there would have been an equal number of howlers had Hilary Clinton of won.
Like it or not the die has been cast so the world has to accept the result, and hopefully there won’t be the same grumbling, sniping and nastiness that has arisen here in the UK over the Brexit vote from sore losers. The Americans went into the election knowing one side would lose and they must accept that one side did.
Whether or not the best side won or not I have no idea, from my point of view I think the Americans had the choice offered to Greek sailors of either Charybdis or Scylla; there was no safe passage between.
On the bright side I think Trump could be a boon to us in the UK post Brexit. Already he is saying that we will not be “last in the queue” regarding trade deals, as was said by the Obama regime; that Clinton would probably have followed.
Trump wants to make more international trade deals and grow the US market and he will not bow down to the Tsars of Europe. He is a business man and understands the need to make a profit if you are to survive. Which is good for trade and the UK.
I have no doubt there will now be an autopsy on the result, as per usual, with all the regular celebrities and so called experts analysing why the vote went to Trump or why Clinton lost; when the answer is obvious.
The people of the world are sick to death of the ruling elite and their families lording it over us; we are fed up of career politicians who go from university straight into politics without ever having a real job. We are sick of seeing all the world leaders swanning it across the globe to various exotic locations with a cavalcade of motor vehicles spewing out toxic emissions telling us we must cut down pollution, while they sit down to a massive banquet discussing world poverty and famine.
First Brexit and now Trump what next? Marine le Pen, Geert Wilders, Norbert Hofer who knows where it will end? One thing is certain the people are fed up of the mainstream parties and their condescending attitude and disregard of the electorate.
Maybe, just maybe a vote for Trump is a vote for change, a vote for a maverick that will not conform and may be a path for something better.
Only time will tell, in the meantime don’t dig up your Anderson shelter, it may need to be recommissioned.
