Kamala Harris’ loss to convicted felon Donald Trump is a clear sign that the majority of the voting citizens in the USA are not yet ready for a woman president, and mark my word, they will never be ready for a woman president in this lifetime.
Kamala Harris, just like Barack Obama before her who ran for the White House even though he was black and won the presidential race, epitomises black excellence.
But the fear of a woman president, who Trump has labelled a foreigner and a Marxist, influenced those who are dumb-and-dull in the United States of America to opt for the proverbial “better the devil you know” choice.
And just like Hilary Clinton who lost the 2016 presidential race to the selfsame roguish Trump, Harris is a brilliant lawyer and academic and has charisma.
In all honesty, Trump is not the most brilliant, articulate or magnanimous human being in the United States of America, yet misogynists of his ilk voted for him.
And many women of all races in the USA also voted for him.
This is a clear case of the “pull her down” syndrome which is generally attributed to women who do not want to see other womenfolk succeeding in their endeavors.
Instead of embracing black excellence, intellectualism and clarity of thought as espoused by Harris, the fear-induced American electorate, including grown up black men, chose to go with Trump, irrespective of whether he takes them to hell or to a bottomless pit.
Trump thrives on the maxims of polarisation, fear, animosity, hypocrisy, name calling and brinkmanship.
There is a song called “Silence Is Golden” which was made famous by USA pop group The Tremeloes, the lyrics of which go: people follow like sheep/ even though there is nowhere to go.
The following is a litany of crimes for which Trump has been charged, and for which he has already been convicted for one of them.
And those who voted for him knew about these charges and conviction against him, yet they showed preference for him over Harris, who epitomises a civilised, law-abiding and forward-thinking citizen.
1. Trump was convicted of felony earlier this year after paying a porn star money in 2016 not to reveal that he had an intimate affair with her.
He is still due in court on November 26 to be sentenced in this regard.
2. Trump has been charged with illegally removing documents from the White House, which is the official USA presidential residence and also of subsequently attempting to block the USA government from retrieving the said documents.
The case is still pending in court.
3.Trump has been charged with inciting violence when he encouraged a mob to storm the Capitol, which is a USA Parliament building in January 2021 so as to reverse his election defeat by President Joe Biden in the 2020 elections.
On top of the criminal cases pending against him, Trump currently faces civil lawsuits for the selfsame incident of inciting a mob to storm the Capitol.
He also faces a case of defamation of character brought against him by a United States woman who alleges that Trump harassed her sexually.
Some Trump sympathisers opine that Trump won because he promised to deliver on the “basic needs” of the citizens of the USA and embark on a policy of isolation whereby the USA won’t interfere with geo-political matters.
But this is a lie, because Trump interferes in world politics where it suits him, like in the case of the Israel/ Palestine war, where he has already expressed support for Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu amid the killing of innocent men, women and children in the war between the two said countries.
Trump is also a close friend of Russian leader Putin, and the Ukrainians are presently worried that the maverick Trump may withdraw the support that the USA has been giving their country to fight off Russian aggression.
Another lie which Trump supporters would like to believe is the one about him building a huge multi-trillion-dollar wall to keep away Mexicans and other foreigners from entering the USA.
The truth here is that he had four years as president of the USA from 2017 to 2020 and he never built the wishful wall.
Another factor that must be noted here is that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden created 16 million more jobs as compared to Trump and the inflation that the Americans are said to be complaining about is something that has hit most parts of the world and not the USA alone, and in all fairness, this is something that Harris and Biden couldn’t do anything about.
Another issue which would see Trump not interfering in world affairs, if indeed that is what he will do, is that he is an intellectual dwarf who would take ages before actually understanding what is going on in the rest of the world beyond the USA.
