The US Presidency is four Years a Term, Silly
This Work
The Piece
emerged from encountering this https://x.com/FBA6681954/status/1916269690759897158?t=koLI7iLDXp4cDpFj3ir9jQ&s=09
on X on Monday 28Apr25 upon which I immediately wrote a first Draft. However, I
decided on Tuesday 29Apr25 to confirm the Headlines in the Tweet for Fear of
responding to “Fake News,” and I came across the Report in the ‘New York Times’
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/us/politics/trump-state-department-overhaul.html,
and in ‘France 24’ https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250420-trump-eyes-gutting-us-diplomacy-in-africa-cutting-soft-power-draft-plan.
I was also able to locate, and read the ‘Facebook’ Upload https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ARR8KTuex/
from where the X Headlines came. I found the France 24 Report more useful, as it
provided some Details. Quite frankly, I find nothing wrong in what Donald J
Trump Sr is doing as the 47th President of the United States of
America (POTUS) regarding the “full structural reorganization” of the State Department
(External Affairs/Foreign Office) of the United States of America (US(A)). He
has Right. If any Country feels threatened by what he is doing, that Country is
welcome to the Response of (i) ‘reciprocal Gains’© (dan Iyan, I.P., The New
World Order 1986 – 1999 ..., University of Aberdeen, 2002) or (ii) kowtowing
to him.
I do not like Donald J Trump, but
I need to compartmentalize my Sentiment of him
The
US Presidency is for four Years a Term, Silly, and two Terms at the most.
Donald J Trump Sr has already served a first Term. Even if he were to be
serving his first Term with the Likelihood of a second Term, whatever he leaves
behind can be dismantled by succeeding Administrations. So, what
is the hullabaloo about what he is doing right now? His Efforts
are temporary until new Administrations.
Look,
I do not like Donald J. No, no, I do not “hate” the Guy. I am incapable
of such “indulgent Emotion.” I do not like the Guy for the bad Things we know
him for; congenital lying, ‘Corporate Fraudulence’© disrespectful of Women, financial
Fraudulence, ‘revisionist bullying’© (‘revisionist Bully’©), et cetera.
I, particularly, do not like the Guy for his Racialism, and Racism although in https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce82w356lezo.amp, Massad Boulos, Trump’s
Senior Advisor for Africa, claimed his Boss “highly values Africa and African
people.” If that were the Case, why is Boulos the Special Advisor for Africa
instead of an African or African-American? Yeah, I know; Boulos’ Son is married
to Trump Sr’s Daughter. Family, eh? Boulos is African, not by
Race, but only by multiple Citizenships; one of which is
Nigerian.
I
was so against Donald J Trump Sr in 2016 when he was competing to become the 45th
POTUS. Somebody replied to me on Twitter at the Time that he did not understand
me, as Trump was following “your [my] Paradigm.” I responded that Trump was misapplying
my Thoughts. Trump, himself, simply let me know he was noticing me by putting
me in his “I am a rich Man” List. I do not like the Guy for the Reasons I have
already stated, inter alia.
He is not bright in the least, but his Instincts
work well for him, in most Cases.
I know what Donald J Trump Sr thinks
he is, as a US Politician
I
know what Donald J Trump Sr presumes himself to be, but as I have often
written, he is dim. He misunderstands the Principle
of what he assumes he is doing, just as he read me wrong in 2016.
In
his ‘Farewell Speech’ in 1796, the 1st POTUS, George
Washington, cautioned the US against “permanent Alliances” with any Part of the
World. Then in 1823, the “Monroe Doctrine” set forth. James Monroe was the 5th
POTUS. Although his Doctrine was, inter alia, US Distance from Europe,
it had broader Application that came to be known as “Isolationism.” This was
the Psyche of the US until the World Wars. By the time the United
Nations (UN) came alive, “Isolationism” was dead in the US, and the Country had
become “insulationist,” (Insulationism). Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg is
said to have written in his Diary in 1940, that “probably the best we can
hope for from now is ‘insulation’ rather than isolation. I should say that an
‘insulationist’ is one who wants to preserve all of the isolation modern
circumstances will permit.” Vandenberg was an Isolationist turned Insulationist.
Isolationists did not like War. They supported the World Wars in the Absence of
Choice.
There
you are. Donald J Trump Sr is an Isolationist (or so he believes he can be). He
does not like War, and I had been wrong to criticise him in the
Past for dodging the Draft. He has not been able to
articulate his Isolationism himself because of his “cognitive Limitations.”
Trump Sr detests “Entanglements,” as you would have noted in his Reactions to
the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). He does not even care much for
the UN. His Romance with Israel could be because he believes in the Illogicality
of a “chosen People” or he is compensating for
Nazi Germany, as his paternal Grandfather was German. Donald J Trump Sr presumes
with his ‘anachronistic thinking’© that he can revert the US to Isolationism (from
Insulationism). The US is not even insulationist, as all the Countries of the World became “internationalist”
– I borrow “internationalist” from Jonas, M (1966) – since the End of
Colonialism through Interdependence (economic and/or political
and/or strategic). Jonas believed Internationalism was already the Case before
the End of the Second World War in 1945. It was quite an inefficient
Assessment, as he was oblivious of the Fact of Colonialism
on global Politics and Economy (Economies). I am pretty certain that Marxists
would contend with their ‘World System’, and ‘Dependencia’ Theories
that Interdependence is not on “level playing field[s].” I disagree;
the level playing field’ presupposes ‘Fairness’, but “‘Fairness’
is ‘interactional Benefit’© particularised to an Exchange. It is not for the
Onlooker to determine the Satisfaction Level of ‘Fairness’ for the Participants
in that Encounter. ‘Fairness’ has no universal Benchmark.” One can point to
Disparities in Exchange, but that is only “comparative
Evaluation.”
Donald
J Trump Sr’s Escapade with his Tariffs gave him some bitter Pills
to swallow about economic-Interdependence. If nothing else, the Fallouts
confirmed my Reading of him as witless. It is not as if I did not
warn him, implicitly, in a Tweet on X not to tangle with Tariffs.
The ‘ramified Catalyst’©
Wallahi,
I am sure(ly) warming to Donald J Trump Sr. Not in the
affectionate Sense, Silly. I am liking his Policies as they affect Africa. However,
the “furored” Draft Executive Order on
“full structural reorganization” of the US State Department is not
all about Africa, so y’all should jump off your ‘Disinformation
Bandwagon’©. Principally, Donald J Trump Sr’s Foreign Policies are incidentally
harsh on Africa because Africa is the Cesspit of most ‘Corrupt
Governance’©. Trump Sr is resolute(ly) about “Make America Great Again” (MAGA).
However, the Donny is too “nonbrain” to realize he is getting
everything wrong in disengaging with the wider
World. The US was never great outside
Internationalism; the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 facilitating the United
States Dollar (USD) as World’s primary Currency (‘fiscal Colonialism’© by the
US), the Reconstruction of Japan (‘reciprocal Gains’), the US Marshall Plan of
1948 for Europe (‘reciprocal Gains’), the United Nations headquartered in the
US generating more Funds for the US than US contributes to it (albeit
‘reciprocal Gains’), United Nations Security Council Resolutions which pump so
much Money into the US “Military-Industrial Complex” that is clearly ‘Zero Sum
Gains’© favouring the US.
Donald
J Trump Sr’s ‘Disenfranchisement with global politico-economic Reality’© might
be ‘ramified Catalyst’© for African Populations to take Control of the ‘African
Destiny’©. I have come across many pedestrian Comments deceiving
themselves that Trump’s Policy Preferences would necessarily free
Africa from “Neocolonialism.” I cannot imagine much ‘absurd Idiocy’©. Yes, One
can be an Idiot, but there are Idiocies which are “beyond the pale.” There is
no such Thing as “Neocolonialism.” The Proposition of ‘Neocolonialism’ is
another Inculcation of the ‘Imperialist Western Mindset’© on ‘Western
acculturated ex-Colonies’© breeding ‘Western acculturated
African’© Commentators, Regurgitators, and what have you. What we have is
‘transactional Gain’© between the ‘oligarchic Rulership’© of ex-Colonies, and ‘Influence
establishing Oligarchies’© of ex-Colonisers. See my http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2025/04/elon-musk-and-his-misrepresentations-in.html.
Those in Control of the Governance of Africa are not going to be
affected by Trump Sr’s Policies. Wanna bet? How do you understand the Context of
Trump Sr’s Focus on "strategic extraction and trade of
critical natural resources" regarding Africa within his “full
structural reorganization” of the US State Department? Think. Use
your Brains. “The Beat goes on;” Donald J Trump Sr has tapped into the African Wretchedness
of ‘the People’, and the Avarice of their despicable ‘oligarchic
Dictatorship’©; ‘America will do Business with you, but she ain’t giving
you no Foreign Aid. After all, you all Leaders divert Proceeds of your very
rich natural Resources into your private Pockets. If your Peoples are too dumb or
too cowardly or whatever to rise against your blatant Deprivation of their
Right to good Governance, and Government for the Common Good, why should I care
that they are waiting on God to come down and relieve them? Their Choice’.
I would interpret Trump Sr’s Removal of ‘Democracy Promotion’ Structures from
Africa in the same Vein. I tell ya, these Moves suggest Trump Sr’s ‘deepest
Disdain’© for African Populations deceiving themselves that voting Politicians
into Office is “Democracy” when these Politicians, like the Nigerian Godswill
Akpabio can go to the Funeral of Pope Francis in Rome, and comment that “Poverty
could sometimes be a Virtue, a Virtue of God ...” after this same
Politician has stolen unbelievable £S Millions equivalent in
different Currencies of Nigeria’s Public Money to enrich himself
when two-term Governor of a State, a Federal Minister, and currently a Federal Senator.
His Audacity is simply outrageous. In fact, it is atrocious.
Here is a Politician who “worship[s] God in Splendour,” as he is renowned
for the magnificent Chapel in his House. Godswill Akpabio is a
Man who is fraudulent with every Fibre of his Person.
See, for Instance, https://youtu.be/UTGY_7M43cQ?si=kTe73igMSghzzau2
of the criminal Conviction of an electoral returning
Officer of Nigeria’s infamous ‘Independent National
Electoral Commission’ (INEC) for rigging an Election Win for him.
It tells a lot if in Nigeria you can get such Conviction. The Rigging must have
been beyond Steadfastness to “Honour among Thieves.” Okay, the
Conviction is not for Akpabio’s current senatorial
Incumbency, but how can a reasonable Mind not, prima facie,
presume that Godswill Akpabio got this present Win because he
became more adept at his ‘electoral Fraudulence’©? Sorry, I have
to go personal now; just look at him. With all his Theft of
Public Funds, just look at him. I am over six Years older than
him yet he looks 300 Years older than I am. Yeah, I know, I exaggerate
(present continuous).
By
the Way, how did Godswill Akpabio get a Visa to Rome, in the first Place? Did
he get it from the Italian Government or from the ‘Vatican City’? If he got it
from the Vatican City, I am again proven right that Religion does
not care for the moral Wellbeing of ‘the People’, but for the
‘eternal Indoctrination’© of their Minds to hold Bipedals of
Blood, and Flesh like them, as next to ‘God’. As African
Politicians impoverish their Countries, so do their ‘Protégé
Oligarchy’©; their Appointees in Government. Perhaps, Donald J Trump Sr does
not feel any Distaste for African Populations celebrating
‘electoral Politics’ for “Democracy,” but I do.
I
fully welcome Interactions between Donald J Trump Sr’s 47th US Administration,
and African Governments on strictly Business (economic)
Engagements, but no ‘dogooder Fallacy’© such as Foreign Aid that
is, in fact, nothing more than enabling African Politicians to
continue to destroy African Ambitions, Expectations, and Lives,
and elevate the living Standards of Western
‘Foreign Aid Missionaries’©. Africa has incredible Levels of
natural Resources which are sold right now with Proceeds not
feeding back to ‘the People’. Foreign Aid has always been the Crutch
that props up decadent African Governments while they ‘penurize’©
their Countries. Perhaps, if every other Major Powers decline giving Foreign
Aid to Africa’s mercenary and ‘destructively corrupt’©
Governments, the Populations of Africa will be pushed to get rid of their
Oppressors in Government by whatever Means. ‘The People’ have more Right than
any Government. Trump's Actions should also inspire Africans to block US
Influence in addition to dumping the USD for Africa’s global Transactions. See
