How Africans Reacted To Donald Trump Shooting

 

Many Africans are very much interested in American politics for obvious reasons. 

The complex and multifaceted relationship between American politics and Africans is a topic that has garnered significant attention in recent years. From the African diaspora to the continent itself, the impact of American politics on Africans is far-reaching and profound.

One of the most significant ways in which American politics affects Africans is through economic ties. The United States is a major player in international trade, and many African countries rely heavily on American aid, investment, and trade. The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was enacted in 2000, providing duty-free access to the US market for many African countries. This has led to increased economic cooperation between the US and Africa, with many African countries becoming major suppliers of oil, natural resources, and other goods to the US.

However, this economic relationship is not without its drawbacks. Many African countries have faced criticism for their reliance on primary commodity exports, which can lead to economic instability and volatility. Additionally, the AGOA has been criticized for being linked to conditionalities that can limit African countries' ability to make decisions about their own economic development.

Another area in which American politics affects Africans is through security and counterterrorism efforts. The War on Terror, launched by the US government in response to the 9/11 attacks, has had significant implications for African countries. Many African countries have been drawn into the conflict, with some providing troops to support US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In addition, the US has launched several counterterrorism initiatives in Africa, including drone strikes and special operations missions. While these efforts have targeted militant groups such as Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram, they have also raised concerns about civilian casualties and human rights abuses.

The relationship between American politics and Africans is also shaped by issues of immigration and migration. Many Africans seek to migrate to the US for economic opportunities or to escape political persecution or conflict. However, the process of obtaining a US visa or green card can be complex and often requires significant resources.

American culture has had a profound impact on Africa, with many Africans embracing Western music, film, fashion, and cuisine. The popularity of American entertainment industries such as hip-hop and Hollywood has led to increased cultural exchange between the two continents.

American foreign policy priorities have also had significant implications for Africa. In recent years, the US has shifted its focus from traditional areas such as humanitarian assistance and development aid to security-focused initiatives such as counterterrorism.

The Recent Trump Shooting 

Hours ago, African media was flooded with news of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Interestingly, several Africans, taking to various online platforms, started expressing their views on the issue.

Let's explore some of the views:

1. A user, "Remman", said:

After attacking him via court which is not working, they've resorted to physical attack, then quickly run to social media to claim innocency. It just means these guys will fail against Trump in all ramifications. I think the real beast of a problem to democracy here are the Democrats who has turn US politics to cat and dog republic. They said Trump is a threat to democracy because they know he'd probe their asses for the crimes they've committed, so they want to eliminate him by all means. They first thought he'd be jailed but luckily, the US judiciary is not easily controlled like that of Nigeria. My support is fully for Trump and he'll win Biden hands down, because the more they attack him, the more they give him supporter

2. Another user, said:

A shot to the head is staged? Oh please stop it please. He would have been dead. What are you staying here. If the target was hand or leg, you could say so. A shot on the head can't be staged anything close, his skull will be scattered on the floor.

They are trying everything to make sure Trump doesn't get to the polls, he is winning. They have used the courts and failed and now they are trying everything possible.

3. Someone else, "Inosky", have this to say:

Lol. More votes for him already. Man survived death sentence by his enemy that never wanted him alive to contest for president of US. Seem this guy is destined to come back.

4. Another user, RollinTNDA, posted:

I'm glad I'm alive to witness the fall of America

This is exactly how Roman Empire fell.

History will always repeat itself

5. Someone else said:

Hmm...if it were in one country like that in West Africa, I would have said he arranged it.

I don't trust these politicians one bit

6. Another expressed himself this way:

This is a very good PR for Trump even with the allegations that it might have been staged. The sympathy this has brought him has propelled him to clear frontrunner status come November. Never mind that the shooter is a registered republican.

Democrats need a Sherlock Holmes to unravel this convincingly. Otherwise they should say Otilor.
