PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN PRESS


 President Donald Trump of the United States may not be that eloquent, but apparently he sure has guts.  The way a section of the American Press have treated him is anything but humane.  The embattled President have had to contend with all manner of insults – especially from those around him and the Press whom he has since branded as “fake”.  Nowhere else are these attacks so vicious than the Robert Mueller Probe into the Russian meddling of the American 2016 elections.  Instead of being rattled, the American President is fighting back—and the fight is becoming real dirty. Decorum has even been sacrificed with the combatants using any weapon available to inflict maximum damage against each other. But the question must be asked: are the Americans not exposing their flanks? A poll result conducted recently in a section of the Nigerian community showed that a good number of respondents are unimpressed. Yet, it is true that Americans must protect their Democracy, but at this rate, they should be rattled—at least for the giant stride the Russians are making in the weapons development region.

Take Syria for example; Putin is consolidating; Iran is creeping closer than ever to Israel, and even arming their proxies.  North Korea is inches away from being nuclear capable, not to mention rising domestic violence.  Will the Democrats—perceived as the major foes in this crushing—fight-to-finish- let go? Will the Republicans simply fold their hands for their man to be destroyed? The endgame may not be predictable; but certainly, Americans may just be the losers.  This is not the time to implode—or chase shadows; the world has become too dangerous to be left in the hands of the gathering forces from the middle-east.
