Perfect Headline - “Your Fired”
The American People Spoke
*The American people spoke Nov 3rd, quite loud and clear by approximately 4 million + votes to oust Trump. The majority of American’s wanted a change from the clear and present danger of another 4 years of a Trump administration. The democrats came out in huge numbers to elect Joe Biden to be the 46th president and Kamala Harris the first woman vice-president. Biden won the election for President of The United States by the most votes ever in American history surpassing the 2016 presidential election which Trump won. The democrats won states which were dominantly red states much to the horror of the Republican Party. Deflating the Republican Party and Trumps ego. It is apparent that this country is still divided by Trumps hostile and untruth remarks which he continues to spew to incite division in the country. Unfortunately, most of Trump’s supporters will continue to feel hatred against the Democrats and the Biden/Harris ticket. Biden will do all he can to unite the country, he has said several times and in his election night speech that he does not care if you voted for him or not, he will govern and lead the country as the president of all the people, not red or blue but the United States. He also said there is nothing that Americans cant do if they come together. I truly believe this too. The world responded positive when Biden was announced the winner of the presidential race. International media blew up with headlines of Biden’s win. Many illustrating the world breathing a sigh of relief after several tense days of a lengthy vote count. The opinion sections of several countries’ major newspapers gave a triumphant tone to the news, while others somberly described the blatant challenges that confront the American president-elect facing a divided nation, ongoing partisan battling over results and a country swamped by a pandemic. Trump liked to make nasty and derogatory remarks or school yard names about former vice-president Biden. He called Joe Biden Sleepy Joe, well--- the U.K.’s Sunday Times ran the headline: “Sleepy Joe wakes up America,” a poke at incumbent President Donald Trump. Some opinion pieces argued that for all of Trump’s “erratic, divisive behavior, he will shape the country for decades to come. They also mentioned how Trump refuses to accept the election and will file legal suits to try and win the election. The Uk’s Guardian newspaper said…“Joe Biden has won… renewing hope for the US and the world,” touting “fresh promise for democracy and progress” after “four years of turmoil misinformation, manipulation and division.” Believe me, the majority of Americans feels the same way my British friends, don’t worry the Republic will stand! Other writers described Trump’s defeat as “catastrophe averted” and “wonderful for the world, but trouble for Boris Johnson,” suggesting that the U.K. prime minister could be marginalized as Biden prioritizes reviving U.S. relations with the EU. So there may be some big changes in Britain too. In France, major newspaper Le Monde wrote: “American Elections 2020: Joe Biden’s victory sparks huge relief in Europe.” Its homepage also highlighted the fallout in Trump camps: “Pro-Trump social networks between denial, discouragement and desire to do battle. Unfortunately, this is not far from the truth as Trump continues to encourage turmoil. Germany’s Der Spiegel wasted no time in pointing to the stark challenges facing a Biden administration. Task,” Even if Joe Biden emerges victorious,” the paper’s writers wrote, “the peaceful transfer of power still isn’t yet a foregone conclusion,” adding that “Biden would face the almost impossible task of reuniting a deeply divided nation.” I personally believe that it will take a year or two for things to die down and for Trumps base to figure it out and some may never. Sweden’s largest daily, Dagens Nyheter, titled its featured editorial piece: “Bittersweet victory – Biden will struggle to heal the US,” describing Biden’s pledge to return the U.S. to normalcy as “mission impossible” given how divided the massive country of 330 million is. Sweden’s more conservative Svenska Dagbladet warned of the risks posed by Trump supporters who believe the Trump narrative of a stolen election. “Election is over – but conflict continues,” its headline read. Italian daily La Republicca ran an op-ed entitled: “Biden’s challenge: to unify the country and give it back the respect of the world.” Its headline cited Trump advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner reportedly trying to convince Trump to accept the election verdict. In Asia, India’s Economic Times also highlighted a fraught political battle that wasn’t yet over. “Biden wins a battle for democracy, but war intensifies from here,” the website’s top article read. It also featured articles saying that Biden will likely improve the U.S. citizenship and visa situation for hundreds of thousands of Indians. Other Indian papers ran pieces celebrating Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ Indian heritage. In China, state-owned China Daily ran the simple headline: “Biden declared president-elect as challenges loom.” Beijing has been fairly quiet on the topic of the election, but state outlets like CCTV have focused on the chaos surrounding the protracted vote count and acrimony between Trump and Biden supporters. Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post wrote that“ Asian leaders see renewed hope in Biden and return to multilateralism.” Tensions with China hit multi-decade highs amid Trump’s trade war; still, political experts don’t expect Biden to take an easy line on China. “Biden likely to boost ties with Asian allies to keep Beijing in check, another SCMP article, whose writers expected U.S.-China tensions to remain. The Japan Times emphasized the lingering legacy of Trump’s presidency, running the headline: “Message of the U.S. election: Trump lost, but Trumpism did not.” It also highlighted the Japanese government’s desire to bolster bilateral ties with the U.S In Russia, the Moscow Times suggested a departure from Trump’s unpredictable behavior would be welcomed by the Kremlin, despite the oftentimes friendly relationship between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “It’s not that Biden would be much better in terms of Russian-U.S. relations, but at least he might bring a certain predictability to the dialogue,” the paper wrote. The most-read article on Sunday in Russia’s business daily Kommersant wrote that “The only guaranteed outcome of the elections was the civil division, which, having hit the country four years ago, will continue to grow.” Russia can only hope that the tensions continue, because when there is division in America Russia can continue to do their dirty handi- work all over the world unchecked. Brazilian newspaper wrote that “Trump’s defeat punishes the attacks against civilization, it is a lesson for Bolsonaro,” referring to Brazil’s own president Jair Bolsonaro, widely seen as a populist strongman with a brash and personality-led leadership style similar to Trump’s. Popular Mexican daily El Universal featured articles on the election titled: “Six reasons to celebrate Trump’s defeat,” and highlighted the controversy caused by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador refraining from congratulating Biden until the electoral process was “finally concluded” out of “prudence.” Mexico was often used as a boogeyman in Trump’s campaigns and speeches, and the country was hit hard by his immigration, trade and border policies. I believe in The Republic, its people and its ability to overcome hardships, division, and racism. Together we shall overcome these human flaws and become even more prosperous for all people. Biden will heal the country and Harris will show all the young women of our country that there is nothing that they as women cannot achieve, it is a good start for all of this in 2020. Let the healing begin. To all my republican friends, I am sending you an olive branch, will you accept it?
