(Lanka-e-News -10.Nov.2016, 10.30PM) The Prime Minister (P.M.) of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe issuing a communiqué stated , the cordial ties between America and SL will be further strengthened, after Donald Trump is sworn in as president of America .
While congratulating the new president of America on his victory , the P.M. said , this triumph of Trump is a confirmation that the people of America wanted a revolutionary change .
Trump was not a politician, and he was one who made a name in the business circle. He secured the presidential candidate nomination defeating his party politicos . Trump’s victory is specially laudable because he emerged victorious surmounting numerous formidable odds and obstacles during the run up to the presidential election , the P.M. ‘s communiqué mentioned.
Meanwhile president Maithripala Sirisena too had sent a congratulatory message to Trump the new president of America.
It is worthy of note , prior to the elections no responsible international media or mainstream media of America prophesied the victory of Trump . While the election results were being announced, the international media reported that only one website predicted he could become the president.
One main media in England referring to the victory of Trump said mockingly ,based on the promises made by Trump who is a building contractor and not a politician , the successful construction of the Mexican border wall is certain. Trump who was most vociferous against immigrants said , he would build a wall along the Mexican border against the Mexican emigrants to America.
This was the first time a majority of Americans cast their votes in favor of a candidate like Donald Trump , a pro Russian presidential candidate who fleeced the students of their monies after creating fake Universities , cheated on tax payments , sexually abused women and made hate speeches against the minorities .
No matter what , the leaders of the world who acknowledged the result of the majority have congratulated Trump on his victory . Among them the first was president of Russia Putin .The leaders of all the countries of the European union , and England also sent in their congratulations. The Indian P.M. while congratulating Trump said , the latter saying nothing against India during the election campaign is something to feel happy about.
In any event an American political analyst who is averse to the policies including racism of Trump declared , Trump who has no understanding of politics , is most likely to become a puppet dancing to the tune of others. Because of his indiscipline and unguarded tongue , the word ‘impeachment’ in the American law could have a meaningful effect.
The pro good governance masses see the triumph of Trump as analogous to a Rajapakse wielding power in America. They are of the view the ‘parippu’ (trauma and despair) the Sri Lankans ‘ate’ during the nefarious decade of the Rajapakses , the Americans too are going to taste. Therefore they have addressed Trump as ‘Trumpachchi.’
Lanka e news sees Trump’s triumph as similar to the resounding victory of Vajpayee of BJP party of India in 1996 .In 1992 after the Hindu Muslim riots the Babry Muslim mosque was set on fire and destroyed. Vajpayee’s party came to power by promising to build a Hindu temple on that mosque premises , and by fanning racism. The BJP secured a huge majority then to form a government on its own. However , what the BJP party did first was , building a Muslim mosque instead of a Hindu temple on the ruins of the Babry mosque, and handing it over to the Muslims themselves.
Thereafter , it was the same BJP party which came to power in 1996 that initiated all the economic reforms of present India .Hence , even though politicians may resort to extremism to secure power they ought not resort to extremism to continue in power. Trump too is facing such a situation. Rajapakses too brazenly did that. Sadly the Rajapakses , by trying to resort to extremism to continue in power plunged themselves into gloom and doom on an unprecedented scale.
