The African American’s would have you believe that the Democrats are champions of their people and President Trump is no friend to anyone but the overly light complected, leaders from Africa tell a different story.
Via Daily Caller:
Toussaint Alain was formerly a senior adviser to Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo. Gbagbo came into office in 2000 and was arrested in 2011 after refusing to accept the results of the 2010 presidential election. He is currently facing trial before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. He denies all the charges against him.
At the time, President Obama and Secretary Clinton cheered Gbagbo’s ouster, and Alain told The Daily Caller in an interview Monday that the meddling by Western leaders in African politics has him and others hopeful for a change under Trump. The former Ivorian official said people were praying in African churches for Clinton’s defeat.
African leaders who are joyous about Trump’s election are afraid to voice their opinion and get condemned by France, the former official said. France to this day controls the currency in many former African colonies through the CFA Franc.
He added that African leaders are hoping that with Trump’s “America First” policies, there will be less focus on supporting opposition parties and rebels in Africa, which would in turn lead to stabilization and stronger economies. Alain believes that Trump should meet soon with an African leader such as Guinean President Alpha Conde, who is the head of the African Union.
There was so much disagreement on whether President Trump would be able to handle foreign relations because of his somewhat brusk manner. Comments like this by world leaders show us that most of the world is more worried about substance than they are subtly. If you live in a war-torn country that needs help, and strong leadership more than it needs finesse and swagger, you too would appreciate our President’s direct manner of communication and down to earth approach to problems.
May we all learn something from the Africans.
