We all had expected Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate to win. All the odds were against Donald Trump. But when it was announced that Trump had won Ohio, we all knew the deed was done! Trump was coasting home to become the 45th President of America.
How on earth could anyone imagine that a presidential nominee whose views are less than complimentary on women, migration and migrants, Muslims and even taxes, could become the President of the US? How, in 2016 could an individual who says its okay to grope women, build a wall to keep migrants out, ban Muslims and seek to expel especially Nigerians and Mexicans become President of America?
But I am not an American citizen. Americans have made their choice. Donald Trump is it! What lessons can we learn from this electoral upset?
*Never under-rate any candidate in a democratic election. Trump was a 'most unlikely' candidate, but he beat 16 contenders within the Republican Party to clinch the ticket at the Primaries! He had no political experience of note. Compared with Clinton, he was a political novice.
*Lack of experience may not matter. Trump has no experience in politics, compared with his opponent, an accomplished lawyer, former Senator, former First Lady and former Secretary of State in the US. Trump is an Estate Developer, Reality show anchor and astute billionaire businessman.
*Don't build your life on public opinion. Trump lost the Presidential debate twice, yet he won the election. He lost the public opinion to Hillary by double digit margins, yet he won the election. All living former Presidents opposed him, yet he won the election.
*'It is not over till it's over'. This is a cliche in football which played out in the election. Until the very last hours, the Clinton camp was still hopeful. however, at about 4am on the 9th of November, 2016, the tables had turned with the clinching of Ohio and the swing states!
*Charisma matters. Trump is a flamboyant man, who re-enacted his reality show, 'The Apprentice' during the campaign. The voters could have found him more fascinating than the very articulate Hillary, an establishment person!
*Many analysts believe there were some 'secret voters' who would rather not associate with Trump in public, but would do so through their votes. Could the Evangelical voters be some of these? Donald Trump elected President, thanks to 81% Evangelical vote www.naycrumors.com/articles/breaking-trump-elected-president/
*The statistical predictions very near election day saw the gap between the two candidates closing alarmingly...But it might have been too late for the Democrats to weigh in to halt the closing of the gap and eventual win for Trump.
*In spite of the fact that Hillary was more articulate during the three Presidential debates, Trump's bravado and consistency stood him out. Even if you did not like what Trump was saying, he was in your face! Trump's style must have appealed to 'core' Americans
*For the first time in many decades, many traditional blue states became red states overnight!
*Trump was bold enough to say he evaded taxes because he could. He was clever/brilliant enough to exploit the loopholes in the tax law.
*Trump, at 70 years old, is the oldest President ever elected for the first time in America. He is also probably the first President to be elected without any political experience! He is seemingly in good health, so could spend the maximum of 8 years in the White House.
What then are the implications of Trump's Presidency for America?
*Whither peace-building all over the world? Will America now be in conflict with some African countries, including Nigeria?
*What would be the fate of AGOA? Trump doesn't like trade deals which he thinks are weighed against the US. Under the auspices of AGOA, non-oil exports have reached $4.1b. That's huge!
*African countries, notably Nigeria, have become the theatre of war against insurgency. America has significantly supported Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram. Will this help continue with Trump as President?
*What would be the fate of thousands of African immigrants in the US? Trump has promised to expel especially Nigerian immigrants. Where does this leave this set of Nigerians, in view of the economic situation in their home country. Remember: $1=N470.
*Are we to expect a 'closed-in' US? Will we see a new era of isolationism in America? At this stage in American history, would isolationism be progress or retrogression? Lest we forget, America was built on the principle of freedom for ALL races, a melting pot for nationalities from the world over.
*I wonder what the stock exchange would look like in America in the next few weeks. To be sure, there is already panic on Wall Street. Wall Street panics over Trump Presidency: Peso plunges, gold surges money.cnn.com/2016/11/09/investing/premarket-stocks-trading
There so many other puzzles to be un-earthed when the Trump Presidency eventually takes off in January, 2017. On a cautionary note, it is better for America, the leader of the free world, to live in harmony with the rest of humanity.
TRUMP PRESIDENCY & NIGERIA
The 17th of January, 2017, three days to the inauguration of President Donald Trump of the US was dedicated by Centre for Democracy & Development (CDD) to the rather exhaustive discussion of the 'Implications of the Trump Presidency for Nigeria'. CDD partnered with:
*Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA)
*Amplified Radio (AR)
*De Paul University, USA
*American University, Washington, USA
*Trust Africa
The following persons deliberated on various dimensions of the issues:
*Dr. Kole Shettima, Chair CDD-IGC & Africa Director McArthur Foundation
*Ms. Idayat Hassan, Director, CDD
*Prof. Clement Adibe, De Paul University, USA
*Dr. Dayo Oluyemi-Kusa, Senior Fellow, CDD & Chairperson, Board of Directors, National Peace Summit Group (NPSG)
*Dr. Abdu Husseini, Country Director, PLAN International
*Jude Ilo, Country Officer, OSIWA
*Ms. Ayisha Osori, Development Consultant, Nigeria
*Prof Hassan Saliu, University of Ilorin, Nigeria
*Jideofor Adibe, Associate Prof, Nassarawa State University, Nigeria
*Prof. Samuel Egwu, University of Jos, Nigeria
*Dr. Irene Pogoson, University of Ibadan, Nigeria
*Prof Ebere Onwudiwe, Distinguished Fellow, CDD
*Dr. Paul Luberk, Distinguished Fellow, CDD & Emeritus Prof, SIAS, Johns Hopkins University, USA
*Prof. Abubakar Momoh, DG, The Electoral Institute (TEI), Abuja, Nigeria
*Innocent Chukwuma, West Africa Representative, Ford Foundation
*Mrs. Maria Segun, Senior Researcher, Human Rights Watch
There were 4 major themes:
*Re-thinking democracy
*US-Nigeria relations in perspective
*Economic, ideological & political changes behind the rise of Trump
*The global war on terror: Paradigm shift?
The following are the major highlights of the discussion:
*Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those tried from time to time.
*Politicians campaign in poetry and rule in prose
*Donald Trump's personality
-provokes deliberately.
-undiplomatic
-shows us our real selves in the mirror
-Trump's here to stay
-gives us the opportunity to confront the underbelly of democracy.
*Trump's strengths:
-manipulation of fear
-puts America first always
-emphasises the fact that the middle class is being un-done by neo-liberalism
-accepts that the system is rigged for people like him. He knows the loopholes in the system, and is ready to plug them
-ready to spend $1trn on infrastructure. This implies that architects, engineers and artisans have jobs.
-immigration - he's ready to close the borders
*Security:
Trump loves Russia
He doesn't believe in NATO
He wants more Brexit(s)
Lessons from Trump:
*We should always put Nigeria first
*If we don't like Trump's way of talking, let's look inwards. Are we any better in Nigeria?
*Democracy has difficulties anywhere in the world. We should keep on striving to make it better.
*We should stop medical tourism. Our leaders should be treated locally, in Nigeria. We should spend our money locally, and stop squandering scarce foreign exchange.
*Never take the electorate for granted
*Grow Nigeria's economy, create more jobs.
*Nigerians should not be scared of Trump. The USA is a huge democratic/political system.
*Trumpism gives us a lot of opportunity to look inwards to find solution to our problems.
*Trumpism is a trend, we should see it as such e.g. Brexit, Buhari. Every system gets consumed by its own contradictions. Inequality in neo-liberalism is not sustainable
*Trumpism is a product of a period of recession followed by growth.
*We need to study the relationship between 'Trumpism' & 'Nigerianism' more closely.
*Election is not equal to democracy
*Democracy without governance is undesirable
*Trumpism points to the fact that democracy is in crisis. Citizens are expressing their dis-satisfaction with democracy through their votes.
*The whole idea of democracy being a galvanisation of ideas is now obsolete. Independent candidacy could now fly.
*Democracy must transform from a form of government to that system that puts food on the table of citizens.
*Consequential elections like Trump's engender global commentary.
*Trump is a product of the American system, not necessarily the American people.
*The national interest of any country is what the leaders say it is,
How is Trumpism expressed?
*Extreme nationalism
*Authoritarianism
*Right wing populism
*Social media - a single tweet from Trump could make waves all over the world and change the status quo
