The USA and, indeed, much of the world is in an uproar over the election of "The Donald" as the next US President. All this is being fuelled by politicians, extreme left wingers, the media and the financial elite, who see the well structured dominance of their world under threat. And, quite possibly, it is.
However, it is also quite possible that these comfortable elitists may have missed just how clever Mr. Trump is. He is a well educated, successful businessman, well attuned to using the media to his own advantage. He read the electorate very well and aimed his campaign at the disenfranchised and disillusioned section of the population that rarely vote because it is always just "more of the same".
Guess what kiddies? It worked!
You may doubt me, so I refer you to the rhetoric of fear, gutter language and outrage of his campaign speeches. I also refer you to the tone of his victory speech, where he sounded very humble and, might I say, Presidential. Which of these reflected the real Trump?
Again, guess what, kiddies. Both of them!
I believe that Mr. Trump is genuinely devoted to rebuilding the USA to its former glory, and God help anyone who gets in the way! Having said that, the man is educated and experienced enough to do what he has to do to achieve his goal, without endangering the country.
So, to all the institutionalised politicians, left wingers, the media and financial elite I say. You are so out of touch with your country that you are now dinosaurs. Get out of the way and let this man do the job that you have been incapable or unwilling to do for generations. The majority of your people have had their say.
In Australia, my country, I say to our politicians, watch and learn!
PS.
I have a new addition to the menagerie that makes up my family. He is a galah. A very beautiful native Australian bird. Galahs are known for their loud voices and crazy antics.
The Urban Dictionary's definition is:-
An "Old Australian" word; a derogatory term that means a "loud-mouthed idiot." Named specifically for the galah, a native Australian bird that makes a distinctive (and quite funny-sounding) call.
I only received my new pet yesterday and had trouble finding a name for him. Due to the above definition, I thought the name of a politician was a good idea. However, when trying to choose which politician, I realised that, no matter which one I chose, it would be an insult to such a beautiful creature. So I named him "Oigle", a favourite cartoon character from my childhood. As I'm now in my second, or is it third childhood, I thought it appropriate.
Meet Oigle
I must admit that he's far better looking than most, if not all, politicians.
