    US Election: 8 Reasons Why Americans Should Vote For Trump, Obiano

    By Ovat Abeng

    A senior lecturer with the Taraba State University Jalingo, Nigeria, Emmanuel C. Obiano. (PhD), has compelled seven reasons why Americans should vote for Mr. Donald Trump in the forthcoming November 5th, 2024 Presidential election.

    Obiano states his reasons in a statement he personally signed and made available to journalists in Awka on Tuesday.

    According to him, “If TRUMP wins, America’s National Interest will receive priority attention, with increasing economic growth and expanded employment for Americans.

    “If TRUMP wins, China’s threat of overtaking, displacing, intimidating and humiliating the Unite States will be halted.

    “As at October 6, 2024, COVID-19 has killed 1.2 million Americans and 7.1 million global citizens, and still counting. These are avoidable deaths. The next planned Pandemic will be more disastrous. If TRUMP wins, this next planned Pandemic will be aborted.

    “Only few honest but tough strategic decisions need to be taken to end the Russia-Ukraine, and the Israel-Hamas wars. If TRUMP wins, both wars will cease. He said so.

    “Rising spate of terrorism, globally, is unacceptable. If TRUMP wins, terrorism will de-escalate.

    “The rising spate of trafficking in drugs, humans and human parts is unacceptable. If TRUMP wins, trafficking in drugs, humans, human parts and other related offences will decline.

    “The greatest problems faced by Developing Countries of the South are political manipulation of their leaders and subversion of their economies by the North through alliances, treaties, plans, policies, terms and ‘conditions’ that actually “castrate’ these developing countries. The resulting poor economies and the poverty they foist on citizens instigate migration. If TRUMP wins, our global multilateral institutions (including the ‘Brentton Woods’ and ‘Paris’ Agencies) will be more equitable, the ‘stranglehold’ on developing countries will loosen and these developing countries will breathe fresh air.”

    Former President Trump is facing a trial in New York on Monday in a sweeping civil case that could jeopardize his control over some of his most famed properties.

    A judge last week determined Trump had been liable for fraud for inflating the value of some of his properties in order to secure business loans.

    Monday’s trial marks the start of a long legal road ahead for Trump, who also faces a combined 91 charges in four criminal cases and several other civil cases

    Three columns of four-seat benches line the white, gold and wood courtroom, with reporters lining those seats and the sides of the room.

    Neither James nor Trump have yet arrived in the courtroom as of 9:45 a.m., but prosecutors have gathered at the front of the space in clusters.

    Reporters lined up outside the courthouse early Monday morning hoping to earn a seat in the courtroom, flanked by cameras set up for live shots and a small handful of protestors chanting “Trump Lies, all the time.”— Ella Lee

    Trump said Sunday night on his Truth Social that he’d attend the start of the New York attorney general’s case against him to “fight for my name and reputation.”

    “THIS WHOLE CASE IS A SHAM!!! See you in Court – Monday morning,” he wrote.

    Letitia James, the state’s attorney general, said in a Monday morning statement that her team won the foundation of their case last week when a New York judge ruled Trump and his business were liable for fraud, proving that the former president’s net worth has “long been rooted in incredible fraud.”

    “In this country, there are consequences for this type of persistent fraud, and we look forward to demonstrating the full extent of his fraud and illegality during trial,” James said.Ella Lee

    Trump, standing outside court calls Letitia James a racist. Because she’s prosecuting a white guy. Alina Habba stands next to him, says nothing, just purses her lips and sucks in her cheeks, which is, as Trump has told her, her actual job. He already lost.

    Justice Engoron just noted in court that “nobody asked for” a jury trial, which is why he’ll be presiding over Trump’s $250M civil fraud case without one.

    Trump isn’t getting a jury trial in his $250m civil fraud suit brought against him by New York AG James because one of his lawyers overlooked submitting the routine request/checking boxes on the form, per two people familiar – Hugo Lowell
