RESILIENT TRUMP BECOMES THE 47TH PRESIDENT OF THE US

In the end, it was hardly a contest. Democratic party candidate, US Vice President Kamala Harris held on to the blue states but let Donald Trump sweep all the swing states, which sealed her fate and sunk the Democratic party, which not only lost the presidency, but also the Senate to the Republican Party.

All that talk about the race being close, proved to be just that—talk and a now-obvious campaign to mislead voters and influence them to vote against Donald Trump.

The truth is, what we witnessed on 5 November was a deluge of anger expressed through the ballot box against the mismanagement of policy—with the economy featuring right on top—by the Biden government, apart from a revolt against the so-called progressive causes that have come to decide US government policy, including illegal immigration, which has made US cities unsafe, with crime rates soaring, apart from taking away jobs from low wage earners. In fact, the result was a backlash against the globalist left's attempt to ignore, in fact subsume fundamental social and human values in the name of social justice, inclusivity and diversity, which, however, often gives rise to divisiveness, cancel culture or excessive political correctness, resulting in dehumanisation. The pursuit of correct pronouns or other such issues may excite Kamala Harris and her ecosystem, but is of no interest to the working class American, who is bearing the burden of price rise in the aftermath of Covid and the Russia-Ukraine war.
