One wonders how, against all the odds, did Donald Trump land the most powerful job on the planet. He played on people’s emotions by inciting hatred – hatred against muslims, hatred against jews and against the hispanics.
He had overtly stated that he will ban muslims from entering the country. He had also stated that he would build a wall between the US and Mexico to stop immigration from that quarter. His overtly racist comments about muslims, Mexicans and so on have received plenty of attention from the Americans.
When he won the US elections we wondered what repurcussions would his victroy have on the world as a whole? The world waited with abated breath to see what other tricks he pulls out of his bag.
Now he has reverted back to his old tricks of inciting hatred by retwitting inflamatory anti muslim videos spreading messages of far right group “Britain First” on Twitter. He had previously tried to stop people of certain countries from entering the US but his ban was overruled by a high court judge.
The Home Secretary has repeated Downing Street’s statement that Trump was wrong to spread messages of the far right group “Britain First” onTwitter. Londond’s mayor is also reported to have stated that Trump was not welcome to the UK. His inflammatory twits need to be nipped in the bud.
So far his state visit to UK has not been cancelled. Lets wait and see what happens next.
