FROM POLITICIANS TO THE PEOPLE (THE TRUMP WAY)

FROM POLITICIANS TO THE PEOPLE (THE TRUMP WAY)
The change of leadership which took a new dimension started right from Africa (specifically Nigeria) and then diffused into the world. With all the political mind games, pretense and blackmail, the set-ups and money thrown around to turn the tide to favor either those in power or the most wealthy or influential.
The situation that ensued from the politics of Nigerian before and during the 2015 general election beginning from the lobbying, interests, doggedness and steadfastness in the face of challenges. Nigeria witnessed an election highly cantered on tribal and religious lines. A situation where the incumbent throw money around just to demean or bring their opponent down with cheap blackmails and intimidation.
Imagine a Retired General been ridiculed on the pages of newspaper and been ordered to premeditated debates whose modul operandi has been determined by the ruling class. People who have contested elections severally and screened to be eligible were been subjected to their boys antics just to bring them to disrepute. Rather than brand their paymasters, they resulted to tantrums and newspaper crucifixion and maneuver.
Such was the case in America.one could see how Obama choked so many cases brought against his party candidate just to ensure he stamped his authority as the president of America and guarantee his party by hook or by crook win the election. They swayed the people both on opinion, personality and even race. They went as far as to conscientizing the blacks that the rival who is Donald Trump is a racist so as to discredit Trump in the eye of the electorates.

One thing I learnt from the whole American scenario is that when the people are ready to get back power from the politicians, they do without war or crisis. Trump played their cards for the ruling class and they were shocked by the victory he got. Little wonder to still ridicule the so highly exalted office of the United States president, they opted to call for recounting and blackmails claiming Russia tempered with their cyberspace and when they discovered they can no longer sway the citizens,they deviced a new strategy by protesting to  present President Trump as a minority candidate who lacks the backing of Americans. The game is on! The heat is on!!
