ICHEOKU says it was one of those statements many of his supporters wished the president never made. It is regrettable that the president is casting doubt on an election which is yet to take place, thereby soiling his likely reelection victory. It is not right for the president to say that the November 3rd election will be the most "inaccurate and fraudulent" election in the history of America's elections. Such a statement has the potential to color the outcome of the election and when the president eventually wins, many people will ascribe his victory to an inaccurate and fraudulent election.
ICHEOKU says the statement was otherwise avoidable and should have been left not made as it depicts the president of being afraid of the November 3rd election outcome. But playing the devil's advocate, assuming that the election can even be delayed, for how long exactly does the president want it delayed? A matter which needs immediate clarification because the lockdown is now entering its sixth month without a definitive end in sight. If it is as long as it takes to find a cure for the coronavirus, will the president be comfortable having Nancy Pelosi sworn in by January as an acting president and for how long will her own presidency last. It is even possible that the president does not know that his term is fixed under the constitution and that he cannot under any circumstance or guise elongate it beyond the due date in January.
Once again, the president was unguarded in his utterance and have now given additional ammo to his detractors with which to continue firing at him. ICHEOKU sometimes wishes the president could be more disciplined and in some cases, seek wise political consul before making some of his tweets and statements. Delaying an election which is inviolably cast in a constitutional stone is certainly a regrettable statement as it once again showed the president in a light not friendly to an otherwise well informed person. It showed the president as unaware of certain unassailable constitutional provisions which are beyond his presidential powers. The enormity of what he said rises to the same level of ignorance as his "ingesting disinfectant" comment, as the president should or ought to have known that a presidential election cannot be delayed. If only he had sought counsel, he would have known that delaying election is not tenable, just like disinfectants are not administered into the body.
For a president who has achieved so much during his first term and has a lot of accomplishments to campaign on, it is simply inexplicable why he regularly still veers off tangent on honed-in political speak after nearly four years in office. The president so frequently wanders off into the wilderness of both the unknown and the incredulous in politics and you wonder why? Does the president not have political advisers or he chooses not to listen to them, otherwise a tweet whisperer should have been hired by now to vet what the president tweets. All the president needs in this campaign is to stay on the message of rehashing all that he has accomplished and promise to do more in his second term and it will be a case closed against Joe Biden. But that the president continuously pipes life saving oxygen into the basement of Joe Biden to keep him politically alive and soaring is simply beyond belief. Why?
But hey, the president's middle name is controversy and he does not seem to ever get tired of generating them. The president never allows a period to go to waste without stirring one controversy to the detriment of consolidating his messaging into a one punch lights out strategic stance. Hopefully American people will remember the many good things he have already accomplished for them and forgive his misspeaks and reelect him for a second term. ICHEOKU says optimism of a reelected President Donald John Trump remains unwavering and it shall come to pass because the president has done enough to earn a second term and Joe Biden is just not an option, no matter how diced and analyzed.
