AMERICAN DIARY
Monitoring Trump !M. R. Dua
Donald Trump and Barack Obama
Eighteen months of
gruelling, frenzied,
damning, traumatic
race for America's
forty-fifth presidency
ended on November 8
in enthroning a billionaire,
businessman, real estate mogul,
and political-novice president,
Republican nominee, Donald John
Trump. Seventy-year-old flaxenhaired
Donald Trump will succeed
the current Democratic Party's
two-term President, Barack H.
Obama, on January 20, 2017. Ironically, exactly one day after Trump was declared elected as US president, thousands of young men and women, expressing their profound grief and anxiety and prodigious unhappiness, organized massive protest marches in more than a dozen big American towns, such as Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Boston. Many among these protesters were young Hispanics, Muslims, African-Americans, and middle class immigrant workers who were severely abused and demonized by Trump's racially charged rhetoricagainst men and women during 18-month-long Trump campaign rallies all over the country.

Slogans, posters and playcards,
such as 'Trump Not My President',
'No Trump, No KKK', 'Love Trump's
Hate', 'He, ho, Trump Got to Go,'
'Wolves are Coming, You're the
Hunted' were displayed all over
the nation's main streets at
various academic, business,
political and social centers.
Coming to grips with his
publicly pledged programmes,
policies and schemes, Trump's
first and foremost priority would
be to urgently glance through the
promises he made to the
American people during his
umpteen electoral campaign
rallies. Ironically, exactly one day after Trump was declared elected as US president, thousands of young men and women, expressing their profound grief and anxiety and prodigious unhappiness, organized massive protest marches in more than a dozen big American towns, such as Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Boston. from the new president is to immediately reverse,disengage and replace policies,laws, and the executive orders issued by President Obama during his eightyear rule,that incidentally the Republican leaders abhor most, particularly the Obama Affordable Healthcare law. In addition, the other GOP's commitment is to hold a decisive inquiry into Hillary Clinton's private emails server that caused untold commotion and remained the greatest critical talking point during the entire electoral campaign, till the last day of polls; how Federal Bureau of Investigation director James B. Comey's flipflop statements issued in July, October and November that creating profound embarrassment to both contestants; how much and from where the Bill-Hillary-Chelsea Clinton Foundation received contributions from time to time; effects of the WikiLeaks exposes and Russia's alleged cyber warfare; racial turmoil and policing problems, especially in the African-American population dominated areas Finally,the American people will expect Donald Trump to tell them as to how and what solid immediate measures he intends for accomplishing his oftrepeated slogan: Make America Great Again. This was his most solemn promise touted umpteen times during his 18-month-long electoral campaign to tread into the four walls of his most cherished dwelling, the US White House—the heart and soul of the American presidency, and its untold globally accepted powers. The whole world will start keenly monitoring President Trump right from January 20, 2017, the day he enters the portals of the Oval Office. |
