So it's no longer news that Donald Trump, a seemingly successful business man won the 2016 American presidential elections. This is 2019 and almost three years down the line, there seems too be a lot of negative vibe from American people towards President Trump and his government. Now personally, I do not live in America but i follow a number of American news outlets that post a lot of content on the social media platform facebook. From what I've observed, the American people who also follow these media outlets always lash out at any news coming from Donald Trump and the white house and they also seem to berate any piece of news concerning Donald Trump's government. So my questions are :
Do these Americans on social media represent the interest of a vast majority of Americans?
If the Vast majority of Americans disliked Donald Trump from the start, then who voted for him in the first place? (I assume the elections in America are free, fair and credible).
Donald Trump's government seems to have done a lot regarding unemployment and taxes? Are his achievements not good enough for the American people?
Lastly, is it just a smear campaign by a section of the American media to promote the perception that the vast majority of Americans are not in tune with the government?
I would like answers from those who live in America and are familiar with what's happening in the American political sphere.
Down here in Nigeria where I live for instance, the government of the day is known to be one of the most if not even the most nepotistic democratic government to have ever ruled the country. They flagrantly disobey court orders and disregard the rule of law. For instance, was some time last year, armed masked operatives of the DSS, Nigeria's secret police invaded the National Assembly and barred members of the legislature form gaining entry.
Sadly enough, the man at the helm of affairs, Muhammadu Buhari cares little what happens to the nations democracy or is just too daft to care. He is known to favor those of the same ethnic minority with him as well as disregard the nations delicate multi ethnicity. Several militia groups of his ethnicity have carried out mass slaughters on other ethnic groups but the President continues to defend his people.
In conclusion, I would rather have your Donald Trump take charge of my country than have a blood thirsty Buhari rule for another four years.
What's your take on this?
