Mr. President, I did not vote for you even though I wrote that you would win, but I am amazed by your unalloyed commitment and passion to a cause: a GREATER and beautiful America on whatever it will take. As you do that, you have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, but only one thing: America’s permanent dominance.
Sure, as a Scripture Union kid in Secondary Technical School Ovim and a Sunday School teacher of the Bible, I cannot just do such because of my playbook of the RISE OF ALL, not just a few, but what you do and how you do it, is something that fascinates. I respect you (not admire though) for being great at what you have chosen to do, and doing it really well, even though I cannot imagine signing up for that.
Today’s case study: “President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose tariffs ranging from 25% to 100% on computer chips, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals imported from Taiwan. This move is intended to encourage companies, especially Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), to shift their production back to the United States. “

Mr. President, so, the issue is not really China. The issue is that America must WIN, and if Taiwan becomes the new China on your crosshairs, so be it. That is a constant as in natural philosophy, and with that, no one can say “Trump does not like China”. Yes, the message is really “Trump cannot get along with anyone that can shorten America’s Era including its allies”.
That mindset is peerless and uncommon in this age of multilateralism. Taiwan: poor you, you better call Beijing right now because in America’s balance sheet, no one really cares if you can be hit with a 100% tariff!

Comment 1: Just look at his stance towards the U.S’s two closest allies – geographically and familiarly, and largest trading partners – namely Canada and Mexico. His threat of imposing tariffs on them (us) although there is a signed and functioning trilateral agreement that he himself negotiated during his first term- CUSMA (formerly NAFTA – Northern American Free Trade Agreement) smacks of hypocrisy, and protectionism at any cost. If he is willing to threaten our long standing relationships for the sake of American dominance, then no other countries are safe from similar, and greater, demands.

Trump has been this way for decades, there’s an interview he granted in the late 80s, where he accused Japan of ripping the US off. You are not going to find many leaders who really care about their own country so much. What your regular politicians do is to care only about themselves, but still frame it in such way that you believe that they love their country and care about the people. Trump doesn’t sound sexy, but when it comes to wits or having clear ideas, he’s super. Political leadership is not about being nice or saying sweet things, rather you distinguish yourself when you win for your country and compatriots.
If you are an African, you should be praying to have a leader like Donald Trump in your country, if you still don’t understand it, you may never understand anything. Most people will need to improve massively in their quality of judgment, it will make all the difference. Weak people are the most dangerous, and we have them in abundance down here. We must stop putting weak people in leadership positions.
On a different note, Ndubuisi is an honourable man, for acknowledging that the man Trump is leading. Most will allow their emotional instabilities to blind them from acknowledging the obvious. We keep going.
