COMMENTARY It is normal for Political-Aspirants and Candidates to attract and cultivate cheer-leaders, cheer-followers, and cheering-spectators. Then in a more particular manner, those Aspirants and Office-seekers turn up with catch-phrases; catchthemes; catch-clauses; and applause-lines for the crowds to CHANT with. But after the Elections are over, the successful Aspirants/ Politicians quickly discover that the cheering-crowds are looking to have their desires and expectations satisfied as quickly as possible. The Elected-Ones also swiftly graduate to the reality that their cheering-crowds could be impatient campers who are looking for”Instant-Gratification”. The natural course that however follows, is that elected-Officials find out over time that there are lots of hurdles and obstacles in meeting deliveries that they made along campaign trails. So after being victorious at the November eighth elections, President(elect) Donald J,Trump has to start to deliver...I stop at DELIVER... because Mr. Trump does not only have to deliver to his supporters and followers, but He has to deliver to all of America. (Journalist-F.H.Buckley described Mr.Trump as a shape-shifter and the Agent of transformation). Usually, although crowds lend cheers to a variety of applause-Iines, deep down inside, the masses are mostly interested in their ‘Bread & Butter issues’, for example Jobs, Income Tax-Reductions and Student-Loan forgive- T’s on-going challenges.... BY CARLYLE HARRY ness. Mr.Trump’s jobs’ promises is on a good highway, because President Obama is leaving him a gift of a very strong economy which is close to full employment... Unemployment is at 4.9%, following months of healthy job production...While Median household income had risen significantly by 5.2% in 2015...3.5 million people have been lifted out of poverty... And Housing start-ups are the highest in nine years. In spite of his advertised qualities Mr.Trump has to get things done, the Elected-One will have to start to deliver almost immediately on his lavish promises to various publics and constituents. PERSONAL-CONFLICTS The next big issue confronting Mr.Trump, is the future of his Multi-National Business Empire. Due to multiple media-reports about Mr.Trump and his family-members exerting diplomatic pressure(s) on foreign leaders in order to accomplish business and other benefits for their property-holdings around the Universe, there is increasing calls for the President(elect) to sell all of his businesses, in order to avoid conflicts of interest. Mr.Trump’s National and International possessions are not widely known, because he did not submit Tax-Returns prior to this year’s elections. The New York Post opined”Of all the issues facing the President-elect and his brain-trust, the question of In spite of his advertised qualities Mr.Trump has to get things done, the Elected-One will have to start to deliver almost immediately on his lavish promises to various publics and constituents. how to avoid conflicts of interest with his global businesses, might be the thorniest”. The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board concluded that there’s only one way for Trump to avoid being engulfed in litigation and investigations, and that is to sell off every piece of the entire Trump Organization, and place the proceeds in a true Blind Trust. HEALING Finally, may be the largest challenge now confronting Mr.Trump, is what he is going to do, in order to heal a divided United States of America. For a summary of those divisions, I shall rely on Governor Andrew Cuomo...In an address at the Abyssinian Baptist church in Harlem, on Sunday, November 20, Mr.Cuomo exclaimed”I come to you with a heavy heart, the ugly political discourse of the election, did not end on Election-day, in many ways, it has gotten worse, into a social crisis that now challenges our identity as a Nation and our people...The spike in hate crimes in New York and across the Nation, goes beyond politics, it questions our American character, who we are, and what we believe... If you sow fear, you reap hysteria”. The Southern Poverty Law Center has reported more than 500 cases of intimidation aimed at Blacks, People of color, Jews, Muslims, Immigrants and members of the LGBT community, since the election. Larry Sabato--Director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia said”Trump is situational more than ideological...He is going to be full of surprises” THE MEDIA After sixteen grueling months of campaigning that involved back-biting; name-calling; race-baiting and dirt-digging, divisive and hard fought ( verbal) battles, thank God, the elections are over.
