I am not an American so I try not to get involved in American politics, but since this thread is really active and I live in a neighboring country I will chime in.

First off, I will say that Americans everywhere need to unite behind President-Elect Trump if you want to keep your position as a superpower in the world. As I type this a Russian battle fleet is headed to the coast of Syria to support Assad's regime, this includes the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuzenstov, aswell as the nuclear battlecruiser Kirov if I recall correctly. The Assad's regimes hopes for victory are getting brighter by the day which is a good thing. Would you rather a ISIS terrorist fanatic or a secular President controlling Syria? Anyways that is beside the point. Look, relations with Russia have improved since Trump was declared victor, and right now America needs to team with Russia should it ever want to defeat ISIS. If I remember correctly, sometime ago there was an agreement signed between Iraq, Iran, Russia, and Syria on mutual information and cooperation in fighting ISIS. I liked Obama and supported him during his first term, but the fact is his "line in the sand" and foreign policy on the whole has been disastrous. Russia is slowly pulling the entire Middle East into their sphere of influence. What America needs right now is a strong man to open dialogue with the Russians and negotiate properly with them about their influence, which I think Trump can do.

Next thing: racism. I am a white Bahamian, and I am a minority in my country, as it is mostly black. I want to remind everyone here that racism runs both ways. I have been called "whitey" and "white boy" by many black people, which I do not find offensive, fortunately nobody has called me a "cracker" cause they know I will punch their teeth out their mouth weighing at 250 and going to the gym frequently. Do I think Trump is a racist? No I don't. I find it funny how nobody called him a racist until he ran against the Democratic Party, which may I remind you, endorsed and wanted to preserve slavery, kept blacks from voting for years through literacy tests at polling booths, and voted against civil rights. They still hope to feed the welfare machine by keeping blacks poor and on welfare instead of actually taking a more proactive solution such as helping them find jobs so that they can stand on their own, thus causing the potentiality of losing a voter base. I would like to see any white American come to The Bahamas, in my shoes and put up with the racial taunts I have went through as a white person of Anglo-Irish descent and see how racism can go both ways.

Illegal immigration. This is a problem for our country aswell. We have thousands of illegal Haitians taking over our country, threatening war with Bahamians, even going on ZNS, the national broadcasting network here in The Bahamas, and threatening Bahamians with a Colombian necktie and outright war. They hog up our free healthcare resources intended for BAHAMIANS to the point where our own citizens are unable to access decent free healthcare. That is why I stand with Trump on immigration.

Look my American friends, some of you may not like the results of the election, but neither did I in our 2012 election. The FNM (Conservative) candidate, whom I strongly supported, lost by a wide margin. Now Bahamians are united in opposition against the liberal PLP government who is taxing the working Bahamian to oblivion. Tobacco tax, VAT tax, duties, and may I mention VAT applied separately on duty and shipping. The VAT rate is 7.5% just to inform you. Now another tax is coming the NHI tax for healthcare that once again Bahamians are not receiving. Don't believe me go to Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau (Government Hospital) and tell me how many illegal immigrants are there.

This is not the time to be divided American friends, the nation divided will perish. Russia, China, and even India are making moves in this world as they arise as superpowers that to be quite frank, I think many of you are ignoring. America will not be the sole superpower for much longer. I did not support Trump from the get-go, I wanted Senator Rubio to get in as he had a plan for immigration reform, which I strongly liked having for years myself trying to legally immigrate to the USA while Haitians Cubans and God knows who else just step on land and get asylum, which I found to be a slap in the face to me.

Anyways, my point is the election is over, there is another one in 4 years, so all you guys can do is give Trump a chance atleast, let him put his money where his mouth is as the old saying goes. Our election is coming up in 2017 (we have 5 year terms with no limits on how many terms you can serve, I mean we have been independent for 40+ years and have only had 3 different PM's) but I say yall should atleast give Trump a chance, maybe he will be good President, maybe not, we don''t know yet. Heck he isn't even President yet. Democrats should have went with Bernie though, stood a better chance than Clinton.
