Donald Trump became the only US president to enter North Korea and followed it up by withdrawing US troops overseas in a presidency that started no new military action by the US. He also publicly attacked the globalists as his presidency saw a rise in anti-globalism sentiment https://twitter.com/mithisa_motho/status/1332065905505955840
Trump been bucking the globalist trend so consistently he waged middle finger to the climate change lobby to “protect US jobs” as he sought to remove regulation that he saw as job-killing. For instance, Paris Accord wants coal done away with. Coal secures energy supply and jobs
Donald Trump been about walking away from globalists that he yanked WHO out of US budget. Trump did this as he fought for cheaper pharmaceutical products for Americans. He remains only president of a superpower to question the Covid19 as a way of life. “Open up the country”
Donald Trump promised Americans jobs and delivered so well that even the systematically oppressed African American recorded lowest unemployment rate. Nearly every musing of Trump leads to executive order, bill, proclamation, peace deal, pull out or even lawsuit as with elections
This goes with the war on human trafficking. Trump boasts 2 executive orders and 8 bills in the fight against human trafficking. The relevance of this bit is that we have seen rise of QAnon take on globalists for role in human trafficking. A lot of what QAnon say linked to Trump
Donald Trump just got over 70m Americans vote for him to be president. One could see this as an endorsement of his efforts. Whoever will be in White House come January, Donald Trump has already used the Oval office to drive new American thought. The 70m Americans don’t want war
The 70 million Americans are openly critical of globalists. They think US should mind it’s business insteada start wars all over the world. They have started entertaining ideas of existence of a Deep State to the point where a whole CNN actually openly discusses entity.
The 70 million Americans now view some celebs suspiciously over human trafficking. The most high profile human trafficking related arrests have happened under Donald Trump. These happen even as they date back to his predecessors and in spite of WikiLeaks reveals
Joe Biden will likely be in office and most probably will reverse much of what Trump did, for obvious reasons. The work will be undone, just like Thomas Sankara’s work was all undone after his assassination. There is something that cannot be undone..the new practical inquisition
Coz of Donald Trump millions of Americans will forever be actively questioning what had come to be the American way, especially in relation to the rest of the world. The man reduced unemployment without starting new wars. He’s shown America doesn’t need to grow on foreign blood
He did all of this in just one term, just like Thomas Sankara, even as the physical work will be undone by the successor, for obvious reasons
Back home we have a president on a pseudo trial for daring to drain the swamp that continues to socioeconomically shackle black South Africans. President Zuma has shown that you can actually get competent blacks running the country and have it do well, an idea frowned upon
He has shown how you can increase capacity of energy creation, keep lights on, turn a profit while using SOEs to transform the economy. He has shown how competition commission can be used to fight a corruption that increases the cost of living that affects all of us
He has shown how to effectively use media to create, manage and sustain narratives. He has shown the importance of narratives when it comes to socioeconomic health. He got this so right a news channel had to be decampaigned from the only satellite television services provider
He has shown that the law is not absolute and that it’s judicial officers are fallible humans subject to unbecoming persuasions and biases. He has shown us that we need to rethink our ideas of justice. He continues to show us the vulnerabilities of of our security cluster
He has shown us that we don’t have a currency, but a stick handled by our collective detractors that artificially create and sustain our socioeconomic ailments. People even confessed to manipulating currency, while others threatened to destroy economy in their fights against him
He has shown us that the PIC and DTI are key propellers of capital financing requirements and that it’s easy to create jobs. After his unceremonious ousting a whole inquiry into PIC ripped into blacks for doing for blacks exactly that which they do for whites, ...fund them
He has shown us, through Tom Moyane, that revenue collector can actually get multinationals to comply and pay tax. He has shown us, through Mosebenzi Zwane, how quickly power can move to transform economy. Through Myeni and SONA, showed us political will is all it takes to change
He is no longer in office, but just look around you and check the kind of conversations blacks are having. The quality of the conversations being signalled mostly by the types of questions they’re asking when it comes to the economy. There are plenty of books that cover such
But the Jacob Zuma presidency didn’t theorize, it looked the beast right in the eye and started punching...above it’s weight....albeit a fair bit of wait, unlike Trump and Sankara who rattled their respective systems with more immediacy and zero politeness. All 3 lost office
A politician’s legacy is in how the transform societal approaches to problems, not how long they tend to their tenure. The three musketeers will forever mask a tear for they give the human spirit hope that it’s possible to confront monsters
