The most anticipated presidential election of the year, US election. It has been a tough year for American citizens, with coronavirus pandemic surge and thousands of lives reported dead, with no serious step taken to curb and control the virus at the time of notice. Now Joe Biden is the president-elect with 306 electoral college in his favour, notwithstanding president Donald Trump has refused to accept the results, US post election saga continues with fraud.
It was a tight fight for Democrat, Joe Biden and Republican, Donald Trump in election many believe Americans decided. President Donald Trump has been laying a baseless claim about the competency of the election, saying ‘ I WON BY A LOT’. This puts American democracy in line.
Many world leaders recognized Joe Biden as president-elect, but Donald Trump US post election comments and attitude, is in line of tarnishing US reputation of having one of the best democratic institutions. Donald Trump doesn’t have a plan for concession of any kind, whatever he is thinking, he knows that 20 January, 2020 will be a crucial day for him. Whether he attends Biden inauguration or not America have started post Trump’s era, even though Biden teams were denied access to get presidential briefing as they plan their transition.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will inherit a divided country, marred with racial Injustices, racial inequality, coronavirus struck country and issue of health care, which caused president Donald Trump his re-election, the critical areas he failed to address notwithstanding the level of their importance.
In Africa, with many conspiracy theories spreading around, not only did there doubt the credibility of US election, they believe Joe Biden is antichrist, in support of unreligious activities and possibly leading America to the grave, Mr Biden will only live to prove his doubters wrong, former President Barack Obama was accused of the same thing.
This could be the most chaotic US post election attitude from an outgoing president, who refused to recognize the voice of the people with the claim that election was fraud without any evidence, American democracy is being threatening with president’s attitude.
In Nigeria precisely, many said that US election was fraud, that American institutions were weak and fraudulent, with many Trump’s votes were diverted to Joe Biden, inspired by Donald Trump and they believe it was true. Former president Obama talked about ‘truth decay’ in the society, the dangerous route president Donald Trump is taking will lead to collapse of Giant America.
President Donald Trump knew he would be leaving Oval Office, but want to remind his followers that America will be having illegitimate president next year, even before election he lamented possible fraud, he has not slow down on claims concerning the election with no evidence to show for it.
Whatever the legacy president Donald Trump is going to leave behind, will short-lived with his last days as president ruined, president who downplayed a global pandemic, who puts the lives of millions of Americans in danger with false information about Covid-19.
Refusing to concede or accept defeat will continue to dominant US post election news, and baseless claims concerning the election, despite that even though president Trump refused to accept reality, people who are around him knew his days are numbered in White House.
