Stop mocking Trump: Respect the office you elected

 

Donald Trump, the US president. 

In every democracy, citizens reserve the right to criticize their leaders, challenge their decisions, and debate the direction of their country. However, what has unfolded around Donald Trump goes far beyond ordinary political disagreement.

 

The level of mockery, ridicule, and personal attacks directed at him, often from his own citizens, has reached a point rarely seen in modern American politics. Whether one agrees with his policies or not, the relentless culture of making fun of a sitting president raises deeper questions about respect, national unity, and historical awareness.

 

Many Americans argue that they oppose Trump because they dislike his policies. Yet disagreement with a leader’s agenda has never justified the kind of public humiliation that has become normalized. Critique is healthy; ridicule is corrosive.

 

A nation that claims to value democracy should also value the office of the presidency, even when the occupant is controversial. When mockery becomes the default response, it weakens the very institutions people claim to defend.

 

What makes this situation even more striking is the selective outrage. Some of the same Americans who loudly condemn Trump’s policies today remained silent when previous U.S. administrations imposed harmful policies on Africa, policies that destabilized economies, supported dictatorships, fueled conflicts, and contributed to the long-term suffering of millions.

 

For decades, the African continent has borne the consequences of decisions made in Washington, often without the American public showing the same passion or moral indignation they now display toward Trump.

 

This contrast exposes a troubling double standard. If Americans believe certain policies are harmful, then consistency demands that they also acknowledge the damage caused by earlier administrations, Republican and Democrat alike, whose actions abroad had far more devastating consequences than anything they accuse Trump of domestically.

 

The silence during those years suggests that outrage is often selective, shaped more by internal political divisions than by genuine concern for justice or human rights.

 

It is therefore difficult to accept the argument that Trump deserves ridicule because of his policies. If harmful policies are the measure, then past leaders should have faced far greater scrutiny for the suffering their decisions inflicted on Africa. Instead, many Americans ignored or minimized those impacts, while today they feel justified in mocking their own president over disagreements that pale in comparison.

 

Respecting the presidency does not mean agreeing with everything a leader does. It means recognizing that democracy requires a baseline of civility and consistency. If Americans want to hold their leaders accountable, they should do so with fairness, historical awareness, and an understanding of how U.S. policies, past and present, affect not only their own nation but the wider world.

 

Mockery may feel satisfying in the moment, but it does nothing to strengthen democracy or promote meaningful change. A more honest conversation would acknowledge that Trump is not the first U.S. president whose policies sparked controversy, and he will not be the last. What matters is whether citizens can rise above personal attacks and engage with political issues in a way that reflects maturity, integrity, and global awareness.

 

In the end, Donald Trump is the elected president of the United States. Disagree with him if you must, challenge his decisions if you choose, but the culture of making fun of him says more about the nation than it does about the man.

 

A country that demands respect from the world should begin by respecting its own institutions, and by confronting the uncomfortable truth that its past actions abroad deserve just as much scrutiny as its present debates at home.

Barack Obama - The Kind Of Man Michelle Obama Married

Michelle and Barack Obama

Michelle Obama, the former first lady, behind Barack Obama, is one of the most respected women in the world. Her love and respect for mankind have no boundary, yet her husband committed the most serious crime during his tenure in the White House in the year 2014.

Both Michelle and Barack Obama originate from Africa, one of the richest continents in the world, whose treasures have been one of the reasons Europe and America have maintained a flexible economy today. Even Africa's artifacts weren't spared; they stole everything.

Unfortunately, Africa doesn’t benefit from its rich resources. Instead, the continent's resources have been a curse, leading to all kinds of cruelty against Africa. There is no continent in the world that has suffered such a great deal as Africa.

It has suffered domination and all kinds of cruelties, ranging from slavery, colonial brutality, Apartheid, the deliberate spread of diseases, and the testing of biological weapons. Thus, it was a hope for many black people around the globe, including Africa, that since Obama is the first black US president, he would lift the image of Africa.

Unfortunately, it was a false hope. Obama, under oath, swears to defend and protect the US Constitution, which involves the clandestine activities of spreading man-made diseases and the testing of biological weapons.

Obama has no choice; he wouldn't like to be called a cowardly American leader, even when it comes to the killing of his own parents in Africa. In the year 2014, the US government under Obama's administration opened the hell gate of Ebola in three West African countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, in support of the US government's biological project for global depopulation.

In one of Michelle Obama’s interviews with NBC television, she said that Barack Obama is a perfect husband and father, but he often wins, playing tennis with his wife. “It's annoying,” said Michelle Obama.
