The book, A Nation of Sheep, by William J. Lederer “discusses the effects of the apathy and ignorance of the American people on the United States foreign policy, relations with other nations, and the use of foreign aid funds.”

Like Somalis who think of their clans first before their immediate families and country, Americans think first of their big meat steak they eat daily and gas they fill up the tanks of their cars. They are people who elect a felony of 34 criminal counts, a convict in rape and business fraud, who was twice impeached for blackmail, theft of top secret, and classified government documents. 

Donald Trump is being elected president of the United States because of the inherent racism and  bigotry of men and women of that country. They can’t take in that a woman by non-white immigrant parents could be US president. Some say that because the United States are declining empire, they are consumed by existential political polarisation and fatal ideological differences leading to their eventual fall, like many historical empires before them.

Paradoxically, how can one explain Arab American behaviour in electing Donald Trump, who made Jerusalem the state capital of Israel, and declared Syrian Golan Heights an Israeli territory? That reminds us of their Helsinki drone. They fell in love with their yesterday’s oppressor, Donald J Trump. Yes, we can understand that they were angry at Joe Biden for the Gaza holocaust. But Biden wasn’t at the top of Democratic ticket – Kamala Harris was, and America has one president at a time. US vice president is only an advisor and assistant to the president. Moreover, Harris has pledged to end the catastrophic war in the Middle East once elected president.

With the election of Trump, Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine are on the table. It is everyone’s wild guess how an unstable Donald would handle these raging wars.

We are confident that NATO countries, and more generally, European nations, are shell-shocked with Donald Trump’s presidential victory today. They are terrified that he could throw them to the wolf: President Putin of Russia.
