Donald Trump is Playing With Fire

I once said I rather watched Najib ascending Putrajaya for another five years than to watch Donald Trump be handed with literally an almighty power that would place him one of the most powerful leader in the world. People who know me - people who know exactly how much I despise Najib - would know that statement reflects a disgust to Donald Trump that is indescribable. 

Donald Trump is a dangerous man, not because he's making rash decisions, but because he is extremely ignorant. He has no prior political experience, and giving him the highest political power is a mockery of the politics that has given United States one of the most advanced democracy in the world. He treats politics as business, but politics is no business. You cannot deal with climate change, immigration bans, and international relation as how you deal with business. This is not something "it's either you get it, or I get it". You cannot go around and negotiate and boss around like you did with your Trump business. The world is not yours. Heck, America is not yours. You are entrusted with a vested, though misplaced, power to rule the greatest country in the world, not to owe it and disregard the people's thought and do it your way. Politics doesn't work that way.

The immigration ban is outrageous and preposterous. It's a textbook-unconstitutional executive exercise that ought to be trashed and the Supreme Court of the U.S. ought to have intervened in light of gross violations. It is my belief that if the three powers have been severely tipped to an abused side, then the other side must stand up on its own accord to balance the power. If the executive branch of this government performs such a heinous act to practise barbaric discriminations on grounds of someone's figment of ludicrous imagination, then the judiciary of the country, which has sworn to protect the nation and the sanctity of the country's constitution - must intervene.

It's been only nine days, and Donald Trump has opened the gate of hell and wrecked havoc at an unparalleled level. And we are expected to see him in action for another four years. This is unacceptable. The Americans need to stand up to protect their democracy. I'm not an American, but Americans please stay strong. Donald Trump is playing with fire, and the worst part is he doesn't realise it.
