Anxieties that throw up Donald Trump Phenomenon
The Republican Party candidate in the November 9 Presidential Election of the United States (U.S.) Donald Trump has riled many civilised people with his crude language and vulgarity, a character that many said does not reflect the ideals of his party. WALE AJETUNMOBI, who has just returned from Foreign Press Centre (FPC) reporting tour in the U.S., writes on the anxieties which threw up Trump in the U.S. politics.
The politics of the United States (U.S.) has its peculiarities, but it beats the imagination of many Americans how Donald Trump – the Republican Party candidate – rose to become the Grand Old Party’s (GOP’s) nominee for the November 8 presidential contest.
Apart from his vulgarity, which gradually draws many cultured people away from the party, Trump’s choice of words during the GOP primaries and in the ongoing campaign is deemed offensive and unbecoming of a prospective occupant of the U.S. presidency.
“Trump is careless with words and people are worried if he would not bring the country to another war,” says Elizabeth Sherman, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Government of American University in Washington DC.
With the level of sophistication of the U.S. politics, Sherman wondered how the Republican Party threw up Trump, which she described as “unpredictable illiterate”, to raise its flag in the presidential race. Not even decades of his international business engagements could refine his vulgarity, the assistant professor suggested.
For the millennials (youths born between 1980 and 1995), Trump is feared, not because of his vulgarity but for the unpredictability of his character and state of mind.
