There is no denying the fact that the United States of American ( USA ) election is fast approaching and the political gimmick by two prominent parties: the Democrats and the Republicans are at its peak.
Political Pundits of different background are of divergent opinions.
While some are postulating that is going to be a tight contest, some are of the opinion that is going to be an easy ride for President Donald Trump just like some other school of belief are envisaging that 2020 American presidential polls in November 19 would witness the return of power to the Democrats.
It is amidst of these opinions or theories that ourworldgist ‘s columnist, Sani Michael Omakoji Xtrays the factors standing against President Donald Trump.
In what he titles, “Factors Standing Against President Donald Trump’s Reelection Of The Republicans”, Michael tries to be fair to both players in his analysis.
Let us read his apt presentation:
” To be fair to President Donald Trump, he has positively grown American Economy between November 2016 and February 2020 in which unemployment almost reduced to all time low since 1980.
His investment drive which brought about establishment of numerous industries across board within the period mentioned is no doubt commendable.
However, the outbreaks of COVID-19 in February humbles the giant Nation, America, to the lowest ebb as the virus completely overwhelmed America like any other Nation of the world.
As it has been from the world go, one expected America to lead in the fight against the dreaded disease but reverse has been the case as President Trump rather than seeking for immediate solution kept on accusing and blaming China of being responsible for the virus.
Infact, in his own philosophy he calls, COVID-19 as “China’s Virus”.
The question on the lips of many is that; even though, COVID-19 is believed to have been created by China, America as giant of the world should have curtailed the virus as quickly as possible rather than trading blame here and there.
America, is not at war but this pandemic believed to have been invented by China has claimed lives of over one hundred and sixty thousand Americans between on 8th February 2020 to 14th August 2020.
Lately, in every eighty second, atleast one America dies and this still continue unabated.
Information available on the portal of American Centre For Disease Control ( ACDC ) further reveals that more than over five million Americans are also affected by this virus are struggling between life and death.
Most disturbing is the fact that President Donald Trump ‘did not / does not’ respect Experts opinion of curtailing this virus as he has often appeared at public fora without facemask and has also numerously violated social distancing rule.
This many believe has aggravated this pandemic in America as many who see him as role model do what he does and in the process get infected.
Trump’s absolute disregard for experts came to limelight when he at a point he suggested the injection of “disinfectant” like hypo, and other dangerous chemicals in that class as cures for COVID-19.
This unhealthy thought has made many Trump’s supporters to turn their backs on him as they believe that his ignorance and executive rascality arising from his “executive Order” has caused America a big blow.
This no doubt is going to have adverse effect on Trump come November 19 2020 presidential polls as the outbreaks of COVID-19 has exposed his weakness, ignorance, and poor sense of judgement.
Another big factor that is going to play against Donald Trump come November is his promotion of “racism”.
Apart from the killings of the blacks ( like Geoge Fylod among others) without justice, Trump has also embarked on the construction of wall between Mexico and America borders claiming the invasion of America through Mexican border.
This many consider as unintelligent and waste of resources as immigration laws can be strengthened to discourage illegal immigrants coming to USA through such border.
This is unintelligent security measure of fighting immigrants from Mexico because even the wall currently under construction can collapse due to natural disaster such as earthquake, volcanic eruption and even flood.
Now if that happens before or shortly after construction of this wall, will Trump embark on the reconstruction of this needless wall?
Note, before Trump’s administration, America who shares border with Mexico has been living peacefully as good neighbours over a century ago.
This harsh move by Trump is of course going to work against him come November polls as many blacks and other foreigners see this measure as racism and discrimination.
Another factor that is going to stand against Trump’s reelection is his ‘area guy policy’ that is reducing American influence on the world Economy.
For example, on 7th June 2020, Trump announced American withdrawal from World Health Organisation ( WHO ) alleging corruption and lack of due recognition to America.
The dollar questions here are: leaving World Health Organisation for who? Who introduced WHO outside America? If America alone contributes over 40% of WHO resources, why can’t American intelligently introduce measures to fight corruption? Is America leaving WHO going to stop corruption? Is America not paving ways for Russia and China who are fighting for world supremacy and recolonisation of smaller Nations? Without America in WHO, what would be the fate of smaller Nations looking unto America?
As I conclude, let me say that before all these unpopular policies by Donald Trump, many Americans see Joe Biden of the Democrats as too old to lead America to its past glory but as it is now, it seems they have no better option outside Joe Biden who is also taking advantage of ethnic politics.
Ethnic Politics because, in the wake of accusing Donald Trump as hater of the blacks, Joe Biden has announced Kamala Harris ( Black America ) as his running mate and whether we see it coming or not, this is diffinately going to give Democrats sympathy votes from the blacks considering Harris is one of their own and Joe Biden talking tough of ensuring an egalitarian society”.
