God bless Amrika
In Amrika, at the end of the day, everyone is on the same team. But in this land of ours, our politicians come first, then their political parties, then the cadres and then their chamchasGuffadi
Amrika had the chance to elect the first Madam President but it failed and now, the world has to deal with Trump. The world is shocked that such a man could win the Presidency of the United States. Well, the Amrikans are different from the rest of us. They drive on the other side, and they don’t care about Celsius, Kilometers and Liters!
A day before the election, Trump was an outsider who wanted to not only rock the boat but get on it and sail away. Well, that’s what he has managed to accomplish and he gets to sit in the Oval office and have fun! Trump is right when he tells the world that this was a movement, and people voted for him not because he was qualified but because they were tired of the establishment and wanted to break the status quo.
We can no longer call him a sexist, a racist or whatever names you can come up with. He is now the 45th President of the United States of Amrika. Well, he will be once he takes the oath on 20th January, until then he can ask his people to at least teach him how to talk like a normal person and to tone down be it his voice, posture or even his hair! Amrika is not New York City and you can’t be walking around like a ‘Don’ and expect the world to bow down to you. It’s not as easy as grabbing something and getting away with it like he usually did during his days as a businessman.
During the election campaigns, the Amriki candidates go crazy. They call each other names and make up stories and hope that the voters will elect the ones who can come up with the biggest lies. But once the election is over, things go back to normal. Hillary had kind words for Trump and so did Trump for Hillary. At the end of the day, everyone is on the same team. Amrika comes first!
But in this land of ours, our politicians come first. Their political parties comes next and then the cadres and then their chamchas and con artists. Amrika shows the world that even though politics is dirty, when it comes to handing over the baton, there will always be a peaceful transition.
Here in this land of ours, we have had peaceful transitions since the Shree Tins left the building. Earlier, it would be one of the five ‘warrior’ families killing each other so that they can have some fun. But since the 50s, we just allow the other guy to either leave the country or just let it go and let him or her continue to enjoy the illegal wealth he or she has amassed. Yes, we still have the Shree Tins cousins with property worth billions of Rupees. We still have the Pancheys who made millions and even continue to be active in politics today. Our Morons, the Kangaroos and the Unidentified Mundrey Leaders have mansions and continue to enjoy the loot. Our Maoist and Madhesi netas instead of breaking the status quo have become part of the establishment.
So what will President Trump do in his first 100 days? Our Emperor thinks he has done a lot since he became our Prime Monster more than three months ago. Yes, give a few thousand Rupees to a few thousand of our displaced families. How can one build a house with a lakh or two and that too in installment? And we can’t blame our brothers and sisters who took the money and instead spent it on clothes and food during the Dashain festival!
If Trump really follows up on his campaign promises then in the hundred days after he takes office, Amrika will build walls along the Mexican border and make the Mexicans pay for it. He will kick all Muslims out of Amrika, deport tens of millions of illegal immigrants and make it harder for some of us to get the US Visa. But politicians make promises that they will never fulfill. And it won’t be easy trying to carry out your campaign promises which really don’t make any sense at all. The world need not be scared of Trump! Let us all wish him the best and hope he will be a successful President like Dubya! At least the Amrikis have the courts and the legislative branches that check the power of the President. Here, the court sentences a guy to prison but the politicians protect him and our police turn the other way.
And no, this is not end of the world! Someday Amrika will have a Madam President and that day is not that far away!
