Many have asked me how I can openly and publicly support Donald Trump – an American mocked and caricatured by the liberal fake news media and the New World Order Deep State elites as a racist, a fascist, a neo-Nazi, a xenophobe, a misogynist, blah blah blah. The old saying is true, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”

People who have little in common or even have antagonistic interests can unite against a common enemy. Truth be told, on a personal level, that unity has little to do with shared values, principles, or beliefs. It has everything to do with political expediency. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” On a national and international level, it has everything to do with saving the last best hope of earth, and of humanity and the CRADLE OF MANKIND (Ethiopia).

Abraham Lincoln, in his December 1, 1862, Message to Congress declared, “We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We – even we here – hold the power and bear the responsibility…. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth…” And the Cradle of Mankind, as well. If the JoeMaladministration is reelected for the fourth time (including Barack Obama’s), we would meanly lose both the union and the last best hope of earth.

The Cradle of Mankind shall defiantly withstand four more years of JoeMalas and ride into the sunrise of prosperity come hell or high water!

I do not have a scintilla of doubt that on November 5, 2024, the union will be saved as the JoeMalas suffer a crushing defeat. I do not hide my utter contempt (an understatement) for the democrats. To me, they are “Demonkrats” ruling under a “Demonokracy.” I believe the demonkrats are dragging America to (demonland) hell in a handbasket.

Truth be told, back during the 2016 presidential election, I was an “anybody-but-Trump guy.” I unleashed torrents of vitriolic commentary against Trump. I even mocked him marshalling the wit and wisdom of Shakespeare in my commentary, “Trump Meets Shakespeare.” Borrowing lines from Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure,” I thundered at Trump’s thunder: “Could great men thunder/As Jove himself does, Jove would ne’er be quiet…” So, I proclaimed Trump thundered his xenophobia, thundered his sexism and chauvinism, thundered his racism, thundered his egotism and jingoism, and thundered his intolerance and prejudice. https://almariam.com/2015/09/10/trump-meets-shakespeare/…

I believe in Ethiopian and American exceptionalism as I explained in my commentary “Clash of Civilizations: Ethiopia and the US at the Cross Road.” https://almariam.com/2021/12/11/clash-of-civilizations-ethiopia-and-the-u-s-at-the-crossroad-part-i/…

But the JoeMala administration is hellbent on making both countries small. To be sure, there is no rock the JoeMaladministration has left unturned, no mountain unclimbed, no ocean uncrossed and no desert untraversed to wreck and destroy Ethiopia politically, diplomatically, militarily and every other way. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧: 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚.

𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐀: The JoeMala administration sought swift regime change in Ethiopia (before even taking office on January 2021) and secretly organized, authorized, aided and abetted the terrorist group, Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), to launch a devastating war on the Ethiopian Northern Command on the very night (November 3) of the US presidential election in 2020. That war resulted in the deaths of over a million Ethiopians in the ensuing two plus years.

The JoeMala administration is singularly and solely responsible for the TPLF terrorist war and the death and destruction that took place In Ethiopia beginning in November 2020 to the present. Truth be told, the Trump administration stood with Ethiopia when the that terrorist war was launched. On November 4, 2020, the day after the TPLF attack, Trump’s Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo made the U.S. position clear: “The United States is deeply concerned by reports that the Tigray People’s Liberation Front carried out attacks on Ethiopian National Defense Force bases in Ethiopia’s Tigray region on November 3… The United States stands with the people of Ethiopia and will work with all who are committed to peace, prosperity, democracy, and the rule of law.”

On November 15, 2020, Trump’s Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Tibor Nagy tweeted with crystal clarity, “The United States strongly condemns the TPLF’s unjustifiable attacks against Eritrea on November 14 and its efforts to internationalize the conflict in Tigray.” The Trump administration stood with Ethiopia when the JoeMalas tried to bring down Ethiopia. The JoeMaladministration’s support for the terrorist TPLF has turned the Ethiopian population against the US., just as JoeMala’s open and shameless support for the genocide in Gaza has turned the world against the US. The irony of ironies is that the JoeMala administration lectured, hectored, and badgered Ethiopia for committing “crimes against humanity,” “genocide,” and “gross abuses of human rights” in the TPLF terrorist war. Gaza remains a grand monument of hypocrisy of the JoeMala administration.

𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐁: To aid the terrorist TPLF and to damage Ethiopia economically, politically, diplomatically and in the court of world public opinion, the JoeMala administration imposed crippling sanctions, including expulsion of Ethiopia from the African Growth the Opportunities Act (AGOA) program; and coordinated with the EU and other multilateral organizations to isolate Ethiopia as a pariah nation in the international community.

𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐂: The JoeMala administration has actively coordinated with the Western fake news media to demonize, scandalize and anathemize the democratically elected Ethiopian government as a genocidal and bloodthirsty regime hellbent on violating international human rights laws and norms. And on and on.

The fact is Trump is unstoppable. It is like the lyrics of the old disco song: “Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now! / We’re on the move! /Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now! /We’ve got the groove!” Ain’t no stoppin Trump Now. He got the groove.

The tea leaves readers say it is a close election, a dead heat. I don’t think so. Trump is going to slam dunk JoeMalas. The stakes are high, and American voters are playing a winner-take-all game in the 2024 election. Americans are deeply polarized about the direction of America at home and abroad. A house divided cannot stand. America is deeply divided like never before in its history, at least since the American Civil War in 1861.

There are countless polarizing and divisive issues facing Americans. Americans are divided on immigration, crime, voting rights, taxes, health care, government accountability and transparency. They are divided on abortion, gay rights, gun control, religion in public schools, racism, and climate change. Americans are divided on foreign policy issues: American interventionism, militarism, gangsterism, neocolonialism, protectionism, adventurism, imperialism, cynicism, and jingoism. Divisive economic and inequality issues are many. The U.S. poverty rate hasn’t improved in half a century. The working class keeps on working but not getting ahead. The racial wealth gap is as large today as it was in the ’60s. Middle-class incomes are stagnant and the financial well-being of the vast majority of middle-class Americans is deteriorating.

I believe the demonkrats are sowing and driving the division in America. They are driving America on the road to perdition straight over the cliff with their pernicious and ruinous domestic and foreign policies. Their New World Order is crumbling into disorder before an ascendant BRICS. Social media is making it impossible for the demonkrats to hoodwink and bamboozle the people. Young African Americans are turning away from the demonkrats. They say they have been duped by the demonkrats. They been took! Hoodwinked and bamboozled! Led astray! Run amok!

The legacy news media in service of the demonkrats’ brainwashing campaign has now moved from critical life support in the ICU to terminal status in the morgue as social media and digital platforms have made them not only unprofitable but also irrelevant. Legacy media readership and viewership have declined precipitously, and layoffs are a daily occurrence. The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post have refused to endorse a presidential candidate. Nobody is fooled. A non-endorsement of JoeMalas is an endorsement of Trump.

What is the deep state? It is a secret network of members of the federal government particularly in the intelligence sectors working hand in glove with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders (military industrial complex) together with media moguls to exercise parallel power alongside, against or within the elected United States government. JoeMalas and their Deep State allies claim there is no such a thing. It is all conspiracy theory. The fact is even Obama acknowledged the existence of the Deep State when he announced he simply could not shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention camp despite the fact that was one of his major campaign promises.

In January 2018, Trump discussing immigration from Africa asked why America would want immigrants from “all these shithole countries” and that the U.S. should have more people coming in from places like Norway. Regardless of the vulgarity of his language, the fact is that Trump does not want to have anything to do with Africa.

There are those who wish to remind me that Trump in 2020 placed a “temporary pause” on US counter-terrorism aid to Ethiopia over the Ethio-Egypt dispute in filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and even suggested Egypt “blow up” the dam. So, he did. So, what?

The JoeMala administration has intervened in Ethiopia’s internal affairs by supporting a devastating terrorist war waged by the TPLF. It has failed to promote American investment in Ethiopia and contributing little to economic development. They have made Africa a beggar continent pumping so-called humanitarian aid (surplus wheat). In the last four years, the JoeMala administration has stripped seven African countries of their AGOA eligibility “for undemocratic behavior.”

The JoeMalas are opposed to full membership of Africa on the UN Security Council with veto rights. The JoeMalas are making the US a pariah in Africa. Niger and Chad have kicked out US troops. In December 2022, the JoeMalas held the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit and promised the moon and stars. Absolutely nothing came out of that Summit. In September 2023, JoeMalas announced establishment of President’s Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States. The Council has not done a doggone thing except take junket trips to Africa on the American taxpayer’s dime.

In Trumps own words: “The problem with sanctions is, and I was a user of sanctions, I put them on and quickly take them off. Sanctions kills your dollar and kills everything the dollar represents. If we want the dollar to be the world’s currency, we have to use sanctions (strategically). We are losing so many countries because there’s so much conflict with all of these countries. And you can’t lose that. I want to use sanctions as little as possible…”

On September 17, 2024, JoeMalas slapped Ethiopia with renewed sanctions for the third time claiming the “situation in Northern Ethiopia” is a threat to “US national interest and foreign policy.” JoeMalas have damaged Ethiopia-US relations beyond repair. Only President Donald Trump can begin to repair the tear in Ethiopia-US relations by removing JoeMala’s crippling sanctions. There is no doubt in my mind President Trump will remove the JoeMala’s sanctions on Ethiopia and significantly and positively improve Ethiopia-US relations.

I believe foreign aid is a most pernicious and destructive mechanism devised by those who intend to keep African countries poor and dependent. Foreign aid is an addictive drug. Once hooked, recipient countries become junkies, aid dope fiends. In his debut budget in 2017, Trump proposed to slash foreign aid by 30 percent. He should have proposed at least a 90 percent cut, saving the 10 percent to assist the truly neediest countries in Africa for a limited time.

According to a September 2024 US Department of Agriculture report, “47.4 million people lived in households experiencing food insecurity last year, an increase of 3.2 million compared to 2022, and 13.5 million compared to 2021.”

During his time in office from 2017 to 2021, Trump introduced the Prosper Africa initiative to support US investors and the growing middle class across Africa, and to compete with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The Trump Administration’s Prosper Africa initiative aims to substantially increase U.S.-African trade and investment ties, spur joint U.S. and African economic growth, and demonstrate “the superior value proposition of transparent markets and private enterprise.”

President Trump has repeatedly expressed his view that he aims to withdraw the US out of NATO. He said, “NATO was set up at a different time. NATO was set up when we were a richer country. We’re not a rich country anymore. We’re borrowing, we’re borrowing all of this money…NATO is costing us a fortune and yes…” NATO is an institution whose time has passed. It is a sinkhole for American tax dollars. The Deep State is deeply shaken by prospect of a US withdrawal from NATO. Even if the US does not formally withdraw from NATO, Trump will significantly and substantially downsize America’s security role in Europe.

I must confess in the interest of truth and full disclosure that I had an opportunity, or should I say, an invitation to seek political appointment in the Trump administration following my fierce defense of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s house cleaning at the State Department. https://almariam.com/2017/12/03/is-the-sky-falling-on-fake-diplomacy-at-the-state-department-why-i-support-rex-tillersons-state-house-cleaning/… Suffice it to say that on April 2, 2018, Ethiopia became free from the clutches of the thugtatorship of the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front. I was unavailable for service.

I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall – but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.” On November 5, 2024, I do not expect the American House to crumble and fall should Trump fail to deliver a crushing victory to JoeMalas. But the very thought that the last best of hope of earth could remain in the hands of wicked demonkrats causes me great consternation and trepidation. Regardless, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! I say it without evasion or equivocation. Under a second Trump Administration both Ethiopia and America will become great again.
