The managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper says Donald Trump's Presidential win is 'shocking' but Americans must accept him as their President.
Thousands of Americans took to the streets in cities across America to protest that Donald Trump “is not my president.’’
Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis; Madison and Milwaukee joined in protests that had begun Wednesday in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston and other larger cities.
This was after Trump of the Republican Party defeated his main rival, Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party, to become the 45th president of the world’s most powerful country, following elections held on Tuesday November 8.
Speaking to the election and its aftermath, Kweku Baako said during a panel discussion on Joy FM's Newsfile that even though he was also shocked that Donald Trump won the election, there is the need for Americans to live with that decision.
“I was also shocked when it turned out that Mr Trump had won the elections. It was the least thing I expected. I think he suffers sincerity deficit because of the things he had said….I find it shocking…what I don’t like is the protest underway… even though sentimentally I appreciate where the protestors are coming from. I think that in terms of the American system, they ought to live with that decision for the next four years…The media cabal against him was self-inflicted…and I am sure if it had not been the electoral college, he will not be in the white house…but here we are; saddled with the American presidency for the next four years…” he said.
