Special Adviser on Public Communication to Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, Onwuasoanya FCC Jones, says he is disappointed over the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America (USA).

He expressed the fear that Trump, who reclaimed the exalted seat he lost to outgoing President Joe Biden eight years ago, could lead the country into a major social and political upheaval.

In a trending post he made on multiple WhatsApp platforms, Facebook, and other platforms, Governor Uzodinma’s communication expert asserted that true democracy and the rule of law are fundamentally undermined by Trump’s re-emergence and the influence he wields over a significant portion of the American electorate.

Jones contends that Trump embodies qualities unfit for a leader, particularly in a nation as influential as the United States.

“It would be a big luck for them if he doesn’t throw them into a major social and political upheaval and even a civil war,” he cautioned, lamenting that Trump’s personal ambitions overshadow the needs of the country,” he said.

“It is either that it is in line with God’s design for the end of the world or Americans have got themselves into something they are not really ready for.

“There is no such thing as true democracy or real rule of law,” he stated, pointing out that, under a just political system, Trump would either be in jail or facing criminal charges rather than preparing for a presidential comeback.

He further lamented that Trump is currently poised to reclaim his position as “the strongest man in the world,” alongside other controversial figures such as Representative Matt Gaetz, who is set to assume the role of Attorney General despite facing numerous investigations.

Onwuasoanya’s remarks emphasised the alarming implications of allowing political leadership to be dictated by populist sentiments. “Political leadership is not supposed to be left entirely in the hands of a mob,” he warned, arguing that such an approach risks plunging the United States of America into chaos.

He characterised followers of Trump as easily swayed by emotional rhetoric and misinformation, stating, “Their insecurities and fears can easily be exploited by characters like Trump.”
