Trump's biggest nightmare as president is to visit Africa
It is not necessary to be a psychologist to understand the
thoughts of US President Donald Trump. He selects destinations that are
significant to him, but not any African nation. There is no evidence that
Donald Trump is afraid to travel to Africa, but I have a few points to make
that are not required to persuade readers that Trump despises the continent.
On February 9, 2025, I wrote an article for ModernGhana News
titled "Trump has never been to Africa as President; is it something he
plans to do in the future?" In the article, I made it clear that Trump has
no interest in the Black Continent because of his disparaging remarks about Africa and its leaders and his mention of "Nambia," a country that
doesn't exist.
Pictures of his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., with a
leopard and other large game kills from the past are available, but none of
Donald Trump's trips to African countries during his first four years in office
are. This raised the question, "Does he intend to travel to the Black
Continent now that he is back at the White House as the 47th president?"
In July 2025, Trump declared, "At some point, I would
like to go to Africa, absolutely." Strong problem-solving abilities are a
hallmark of an effective leader, who approaches problems methodically and
imaginatively to guarantee workable solutions in line with expanded
observation. Adversity does not dissuade these leaders.
Instead, they stay upbeat and concentrate on finding
solutions. In my opinion, Donald Trump should have traveled to South Africa to
investigate his claims that the country's white Afrikaner minority is being
ruthlessly persecuted by the government, including claims of widespread
killings and land confiscations.
Instead, Trump chose not to attend the G20 Summit in South
Africa based on his unfounded allegation of white genocide. The accusation is
completely false, and in my opinion, he deliberately created the issue to
prevent himself from visiting Africa, and he was successful in doing so.
During his first four years in government, Trump has not visited Africa himself, but his wife, Melania, has. What does this signify? Donald Trump will not visit the African continent until he leaves office. Time will tell, and readers will acknowledge this article.
