Sorry Mostafa, Donald Trump is only one of a large number of corrupt,
mentally unbalanced men to achieve the presidency.
The United States of America has a violent history, which I will not
go into here. But if you care to read a fairly objective and accurate
account of the growth of this nation, read Howard Zinn's "A People's
History of the United States". That Oval Office has seated some very
honorable and honest men. But it has also seen corrupt and greedy and
self serving men.
Personally, I believe that the honest American, who cares about his
people and about how we treat the people of the world, still outnumber
the cheats and those who worship the Golden Calf.

Mustafa,
I'd like to correct one of the things you said. The majority of Americans
did not elect Donald Trump. If the president were elected as he or she
should be, by a majority of the votes cast, Hillary Clinton would have won
the election. She received 3 million more votes than Mr. Trump. He became
President in the same way that George W. Bush did. Their election was due
to a mechanism called the electoral college. The electoral college was
developed in order to deny the vote to the ordinary people. Each state is
allotted a certain number of electoral votes. If the majority of the
popular vote goes to the Republican party, for example, then all of the
electoral votes in that particular state go to the presidential candidate.
So if 51% of people in Michigan voted for Trump, he'd get all of the
electoral votes, not 51% of them. He won because a few key states had a
majority of Republican votes.
There are many complicated reasons that explain why the US government is
functioning as it is at this point. But in addition to all of the
historical, sociological, and financial reasons, it is important to
recognize that Donald J. Trump is a mentally, emotionally disabled man,
who, along with having been dishonest and sheltered by his wealth from the
consequences of his actions for all of his life, is not competent to
undertake the tasks of the presidency.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Donald Trump
Well, although I am not American, I'd still like to join the discussion. I
wonder, how would George Washington react if he encountered Donald Trump
operating in the White House? I bet he would have gone mad. He would say,
who has brought this hellion here? He won't imagine that the majority of
Americans are the ones who did.
Trump isn't himself the prob, he's just a tool that governs the corporal
establishment and its material plethora. It is a system that aids the rich
to constantly become richer and the poor shall constantly become poorer.
As I decisively stated, the practice of lobbyism is the major factor by
which law enforcement has been perfectly surmounted in the States.
Everyone knew for sure that Trump is a horrific felon, even those who
categorically defend him.
Nonetheless, with the power of his copious wealth, he was able to either
threaten or bribe the special council. Perhaps he has done both, who
knows? As Cohen has somewhat purported in his testimonial to Congress,
Trump is besieged by bunch of guardians including attorneys etc. He warned
people that Trump doesn't care about allegiance. He'd rather pay people to
protect him and to even lie for him if it is necessary. Right now, Trump
thinks he is wholly protected. No one is higher than him to oppugn his
deeds. Even congress is bought, and it amply complies to mr Trump demands.
Donald Trump resembles the mass nescience of average Americans on a rather
broader scale. They elected him after all. Many of them are seemingly in
favour of his typical impudence and inapplicably crude remarks. Trump's
disgraceful rhetoric is not aliened to us. He perennially clashed and
expressed disapprobation of reporters asking him questions. He's just so
petulant about that. Donald Trump is impeachably caged for explicitly
uttering racism. He rudely mocked accents of people on stage. He spoke
terms that are leastwise, quite abhorrent in essence. He easily mortifies
major rivals. Now, who admitted this incompetent individual to act
swaggeringly in Oval Office? Well, they're just some bunch of racists.
They're just bunch of outrageous white supremacists who're mostly
Protestants. They're merely bigots and hate provokers. They speak about
Islam derogatorily. As they incessantly truckle to satisfy the Zionist
camp, they relentlessly attempt to marginalise, denigrate and demonise
Islam out of malice. This is how Donald Trump is unremittingly salvaged,
despite his denotative commission of major offences. He works by and for
the Zionist lobby and that's quite obvious. Donald Trump has plainly
breached the longly chanted American principles of democracy, ethnic
equality and the allegedly promoted prevention of racial disparity. He
discourteously assaulted immigrants and people of darker complexion. He's
the worst president to ever operate in oval office. Many people are so
lenified with Trump's absonant disposal. They consider him somewhat their
daddy. Well, he's basically a demagogue. If some of you aren't so familiar
with this term, he is a political leader who seeks endorsement with
appealing to popular passions and prejudices. This is exactly what Trump
does. The nuance of longly proclaimed American fundamental principles has
been utterly ruined in Trump's miserable era. However, there are Americans
who're quite disappointed with Trump being unfortunately their president.
I knew people who left the States shortly after election results have
declared him winning the presidential race. Donald Trump doesn't
necessarily represent many Americans. He neither doesn't represent the
American dream. It is essentially based on genuinely practiced democratic
tenets such as freedom of speech, freedom of embracement as well as
defection of faith or notion. I knew people who felicitously live in the
States with being Muslims. They never felt disparaged until Trump came. I
personally am not so invoked to Americanism. Be that as it may, I do not
criticise people for their dissension with me. I solely repudiate acts
that are destined to diminish, slander or manipulate my identity. I
communicate beautifully with people who do not come near my faith and
heritage. I tolerate difference of opinion and belief. I at the same time
won't ever neglect my conscience to gratify those of special agenda. It is
significantly crucial to recognise that I wholly represent my culture and
identity and I am not prepared at any rate to alter that. Thank you for
reading, cordially.
