Candidate Trump Vs President Trump
There are many reason why so far candidate Trump have proven through actions that president Trump will be very different.
Candidate Trump was my top choice for the US election. Ofcourse his rhetoric was inciteful just as it was deadly and racist but his stance on many issues was about building wall and keeping USA out of the world(which means less USA influence=less war and violence in the world) and that was what I wanted about him.
You see; candidate Trump did not want United states of America doing much in the world. All he wanted was build a wall around himself and US and also talk about how he wants to make America great again(whatever that means).
For the rest of us in the world; this should have been a welcomed approach(less US influence; more peace for the rest of the world) but for Americans at home; I definitely wouldn't want to be in their shoes as his candidacy divided them morethan it united them and for obvious reasons.
You see; Candidate Trump called Mexicans rapist and murderers, he wanted a complete shut down of Muslims entering USA- he blamed immigrants for all the problems in US and he also wanted to move US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem thereby solidifying that Jerusalem should be capital of Israel(a drastic shift in US mid-east policy). Ofcourse, ideally; this were all obvious bad policies but that would have shaped the world for good. You see; we had a stagnant situation in the world:
- Middle East and their many destabilized countries; in part due to US meddling
- The Israel-palestine conflict(which was in part; fueling certain problems in mid-east)
- The world wide terrorist network
- The syria stand off...
So much problem but very little will to solve them and in most case; what is presumed to be the political will to solve a particular problem is only a hidden agenda to further fuel the problem for selfish reasons.
The situation we had was one were USA pretends to be your friend and then causes mayhem or even plan their own allies overthrow once they are done with them.
Candidate Trump didn't seem like the hypocrite many USA presidents were. Candidate Trump spoke out his intent no matter how toxic it was; and it meant alerting people around the world on his approach. Other USA president(s) on the other hand pretends to want this but in reality goes on to do other things and cause wars.
When Candidate Trump sang about how he wanted to stop USA meddling and the rest; that ofcourse was music to my ear. And when he wanted a complete shut down of Muslims- that also was nice as it will reshape alliances- which USA alliance with Muslim nations have not really been very good for them. So shutting out Muslims means faster fall of USA empire once Muslim nations stop using the US dollars for trade.
The only thing that makes US economy very strong is because many countries use the US dollars for trade world wide. USA is in debt running in trillions of dollars and the only reason they are not having Europe type of economic melt down is because countries around the world use their US dollars and they know to maintain their economy being stable- countries have to use the usd.
Had Hilary won; she was obviously a continuation of USA policy abroad which have only yielded wars and bloodshed so far. Atleast candidate Trump not wanting USA taking any world role would mean less trouble for the world! But then when Candidate Trump won... He slowly but steadily changed his stance. President Trump maintained candidate Trump many hate rhetoric but not the promised actions:
- His promise to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem during his first week quickly changed and he doesn't talk about it anymore. His promise to support Israel illegal settlement building in occupied Palestinian lands also changed when he cautioned israel PM against building it. You see, had President Trump fulfilled Candidate Trump's promise on Isreal; it would have forced European Union to take more hard line stance against Israel and forced more countries to isolate Israel which will force them to go back to finding peace solution sincerely but then President Trump stopped short of fulfilling Candidates Trump promise.
- Then came his promise of Complete and total shut down of Muslims which he never did. Candidate Trump was more vocal in shutting out Muslims but suddenly President Trump came up with a law that only bars people from 7Muslim majority countries for only 90days. You see, had Muslims been totally banned as candidate Trump promised; it will no doubt have greatly reduced American influence and power abroad(which is good news for the world). Now, not only did President Trump fail in candidates Trumps promise, he also went on to continuously find ways to speak about how this isn't a Muslim ban.
- Candidate Trump promised to pull their soldiers from other countries including their major asian allies like South Korea if they do not pay more. Again; good news for the rest of the world but then, President Trump not only maintained their troops presence abroad but also increased the military budget by about 60billion dollars(which is the same budget for Russia military). But all powerful USA military added 60billion dollars to their existing massive military budget; which again raises the question of him fulfilling his many promise.
I really wanted candidate Trump to be a reflection of President Trump, but what we have here is President Trump only taking the hateful and racist nature of candidate Trump but not doing any action he promised. Well, except building the Mexican wall which everyone is still waiting to see him pull it off.
