Here’s to welcoming Africa into the bodacious buffoonery of Third World dictatorships. In the American spirit of leading by example, I’m sure Trumpism Africa foreign policy may not tell well for Africa’s life presidents (Mugabeism, Gnassingbeism and Musevenism and currently holding the lead), but far surpass them all since dictatorships have been in serious rise since independence.
I can testify that Africa will continue to see megalomaniac showmanship in display on the continent. This is what Donald Trump said in Nebraska taken African leaders to the cleaners:
Speaking in Nebraska, Trump said that Africans are slaves living like slaves in their own land yet they claim they are independent.
Trump was responding to a question by a South African journalist on whether he thinks African leaders were right to seek mass withdrawal from The Hague based International Criminal Court.
“It is shameful for African leaders to seek exit from ICC. In my view, these leaders want to have all the freedom to oppress their poor people without anyone asking them a question. I think there is no shortcut to maturity and in my view, Africa should be recolonized because Africans are still under slavery. Look at how those African leaders change constitutions in their favor so that they can be life presidents. They are all greedy and do not care about the common people” Said Trump.
“When I saw them gang up against ICC yet they can’t even find an amicable solution for the ongoing quandary in Burundi, I thought to myself these people lack discipline and humane heart. They can’t lead by example. The only thing they are interested in is accumulating wealth from poor tax payers. Before they think of exiting from ICC, they should first restore peace in Burundi and other war-torn countries rather than gathering like hyenas with the aim of finishing the poor people” Added Trump. truth hurts
The truth is hard to digest, But President Trump is saying the truth. African leaders are just a bunch of heartless people.
It is a known fact that Africa has a monopoly on morons, clueless men and women that call themselves Presidents or Heads of State. Regarding Trump, he is an African president based on intelligence, temperament and maturity. It is true that it takes a monkey to know one. So I for one find his statement about his counterparts in Africa on point. It is true, come to think of it. Is it not?
“The truth hurts and “President” Trump is only telling the truth”. That may be so. The problem with Trump is that, he like the African “leaders” he was railing against are the same Vultures. The only difference is that Trump is an American Vulture perched on a bigger Pie with a more “Matured Democractic Dispensation” which Trump has Contempt and Disdain for. The only thing Trump values is how to exploit and game the Financial and Tax System to his advantage for decades. Even that, Trump Trump’s incompetence showed. He filed several Bankruptcies. I advise that Trump’s Cynical Speeches and Platitudes Should be heard and carefully analysed before jumping or diving in. There is no business Trump got into where the poor were not or are not being taken to the Cleaners by Fiat. From refusing to pay for work done by Contractors and Employees, to paying Minimum wages for long hours. Breaking Contracts and Agreements and then Subjecting the Victims to Law Suits. From Housing discrimination Against African Americans and Hispanics to taking Adverts Against Innocent Central Park Joggers’ falsely accused and sentenced to prison African Americans and Hispanic teenagers. Teenagers Trump called “Animals” who should be given the Death Penalty”. Simply because they are African Americans and of Hispanic ancestry. They were all later found to be innocent of the Crime. Did Trump care about his racist Kneejerk Reactionary’s Significant Contribution to the destruction of those lives? Don’t hold your breath on it. Trump is no friend of anyone, not especially of Africa. When Trump talks about “African Hyenas” and make it seem like he is describing the African Presidents. He is not describing any Specific African President. No. Trump’s world view is patently Black and White, Slave and Master, Rich and Poor. In a World governed by Trump and his believes, Africa would be more than Recolonized. It would be like Belgian Congo’s King Leopold (the rat) or worst. In a World Ruled by Trump, the writer of the article I am responding to will not be entitled to his God given right to live and work in the United States much more express his opinion. By virtue of the writer’s ancestral origin, and the religion he follows, he will be considered sub-human, a criminal, a Terrorist, not worthy of extending the right to Vote, Express his opinion or a Living wage. No, Trumps words about African Presidents acting like Hyenas is like the Vulture calling the Hyena “you Scavenger”. It has a Paradoxically, Self-serving effect with an equal insidious Boomerang Meaning. Trump is a Soiled, Discredited, Depraved, Messenger on any issue connected to Africa and Race in a manner that demands the message and messenger be thrown back to the messenger. Trump’s Corruptive Practices, Despotic and Insidious Racist Behavior and Actions from birth to the present does not qualify him to piss out the Lucifer Inspired drivel the writer appears to take at Face Value. Dangerous. He is no friend, Nor one to emulate. He is a Demagogue, and a danger to the Current African gains made in the National and International Arena. For example, when Trump talks “Reform” at the UN or at any other Bi-lateral and Multi-lateral Fora such as GATT and the The Paris Global Warming Accord, his Goal and Objective is one that would Marginalize Africa and other Countries of the Southern hemisphere even further. His Insidious Subterfuge and Subliminal Divisive terminology of Souvereignity and America First Alternative Track, is nothing but a throw back to the old “Mercantile-Survival of the First” Euro-Centric Hegemony. Trump is Not and has Never been a believer in Peaceful Co-exitence. He is of the Supremacists School of Thought. A School of Thought Were the only race that has a Right to Freedom, Liberty and the Right to Own and Express one’s opinion, are the Millionaires and Billionaires as long as they are Caucasian. Period. If you are not, Trump sees you as an annoying mosquito that needs to be quashed with Maximum Prejudice and if possible with Merchantile like Profit. Africans and Africa you are Warned.
Sidi, you are right on this one. I absolutely agree with ll that you say. For a president of the free world, Trump is wost than the African presidents he berate. He has appointed his family members into senior positions without a care in the world. Whilst i do not agree with African countries withdrawing from the ICC, we should not be taking any lectures from Trump. The very African leaders he is calling hyenas are all keeping their loot in his country. If he cares about the “poor people” in Africa let him repatriate those loots back.That will help him with his immigration problem because most Africans will return to their countries of origin because we can develop Africa with it.
I think Donald Trump’s total knowledge of history is confined to yesterday’s bank statement.
As a white skinned man I apologize.
Mike, there’s no smoke screen. He was called in by the police to have a chat about utterances that they felt they need clarification on. It is about time we start giving the police the benefit of the doubt that they are acting within their mandate. Lets flip the coin and say e was called in for questioning because there’s no smoke without fire. Perhaps they have intelligence that he is planning to destabilize the country. The police would not share such intelligence with the publicly until the get all the facts. APRC members should know that there are laws in the country that governs the actions of every one within the Gambian jurisdiction and they are not above the law. Ironically, those laws were created by APRC so if the laws are bad they should never have created them. Until such a time that we are able to expunge those bad laws,every Gambian has to abide by them. Fabakary and APRC are just trying to divert people’s attention from the revelations at the commission. APRC was rejected by Gambians in two successful polls.
Buba I think your on the wrong page….
However to promote the law Jammeh left and excuse the Barrow regime the same misdemeanours is to speak with a forked tongue. The UDP suffered most during this time, but seem to be incapable of making any distinction.. now they have power..
WE call this duplicity. To use law as a convenience is wrong.
Mike, you really know what a forked tongue is because its the only thing you have been approaching things on this forum. Whenever others are mentioned you hide behind democracy of freedom of speech but if it concerns UDP then you come with some forked tongue analysis of the situation.
