Elon Musk Is Not A Bad Guy

It Is Okay To Support Donald Trump

My interest in American politics stems from the fact that whoever emerges as President of the United States will significantly influence the direction of global politics and humanity in general.

The United States president is not half as powerful and influential within the U.S. as he/she is outside the U.S. Whoever emerges as president will, through their actions and inactions, directly or indirectly affect the lives and well-being of billions of people around the world.

I have scrutinized and assessed the Democrat candidate and her Republican counterpart, and I lean favorably toward the Republican candidate Donald Trump.

As a non-American observer, it is obvious to me that a Trump presidency would bode better for America and the world in general, especially at this point, considering all that is going on in the world today.

Kamala is all cute and vibes but seriously lacking in substance. She is pretentious, and panders to the war-mongers in Washington. It is hard to see America regain its place in the affairs of the world under her watch. She would instead accelerate America’s downward spiral as seen under the current administration.

I have observed that most of her supporters hate Trump. In contrast, most of Trump’s supporters are indifferent to Kamala and more particular about how much better the economy was under Trump. They constantly highlight the fact that no new wars were initiated under Trump’s presidency and the borders were secure.

Their support appears to be based more on common sense than petty biases.

You do not have to like Trump to acknowledge that during his first presidency, America did not start or get into any new wars. As a peace-loving human, I cannot ask for more.

It is also a fact that during his presidency, the American economy was better, and illegal immigration was significantly curbed.

People who dislike Trump always point to his rhetoric.

Trump is not a typical politician. He can be potty-mouthed and all, but he is authentic and well-meaning.

Before he decided to run for President, before he stood up to Washington’s warmongers, he was one of the most loved persons in America.
And I know that many years from now, America will fondly remember and celebrate the Trump presidency.

Rivals say Trump is a fascist, racist, Nazi, and all that but there is not one shred of concrete evidence to back that up.

From his early days up until now, Trump has been friends and associates with lots of notable names in the black community, and black people in general. The hip-hop and entertainment industry loved him.

Rivals who say he is a Nazi forget that he is a big supporter of Israel, and it was during his presidency that Jerusalem was formally recognized as Israel’s capital.

One of the biggest problems in the world and politics today is that people are often all up in their ‘feelings’ and willing to cut their nose to spite their faces. This makes them willing tools in the hands of manipulative political actors.

The people most opposed to Trump are often warmongers and those pushing one Woke agenda or the other. The rest are people who are either being too self-righteous or overcompensating.

It is common sense that the world is better off with fewer wars, that every country should protect its borders, that men should not compete in women’s sports, and that you are either biologically male or female, no in-betweens.

Trump has said repeatedly that if he was president, there was no way he would have allowed the Russia-Ukraine conflict to degenerate into a war.
And while the Left is enthusiastically beating the war drum and gassing Ukrainians up, precious human lives are pointlessly being wasted on both sides.

I am proudly pro-peace and pro-common sense. I believe in finding common ground to co-exist. The world has had enough of these needless conflicts and war-mongering.

I agree with Trump that countries should secure their borders and pursue their best interest.

Less global conflicts and more global collaboration for economic prosperity would significantly mitigate illegal migration.

When considering a preferred candidate, I also love to assess the people on his/her team. When I look at Trump’s team, I see RFK Jr, J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Ben Carson, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others.
And that to me is a fantastic team of level-headed individuals.

Elon Musk, who is undoubtedly one of the most impactful humans of this generation, and a person whose life is dedicated to advancing the course of humanity has had to put up with hate and vitriol for supporting Trump, and for deploying his resources toward the candidate of his choosing.

That is wrong and unfair. Trump is on the ballot, and it is within Elon’s right to support whoever he wants.

Supporters of Trump have been labelled racist, fascists, Nazis, misogynists, traitors, and all that. I have observed people on the Left (who love to think of themselves as the good guys) being the most vile, hateful, and intolerant of the lot. And they are quick to cancel anyone who disagrees with them.

The Left would often accuse Right-leaning folks of being divisive, but I think the most division in the polity has come from the Left’s intolerant approach to politics.

The American presidency is serious business, and the consequences of whoever emerges affect the entire global community.

I laugh at the rhetoric of a U.S. president becoming a dictator.
America is not a banana republic. There are lots of things the president as commander-in-chief cannot unilaterally do within America even if he wanted. The numerous checks and balances within the U.S. system keep it that way.

This is not the time to vote for vibes, cuteness, or petty agenda.
Americans should consider the past records of the contestants as well as their current policies, and vote free of petty biases.

Americans must understand that whoever they elect would, directly and indirectly, affect me in faraway Africa.

Hopefully, this does not get me cancelled. ❣
