The Entertainment Industry’s Division
The entertainment industry was notably divided over the election’s outcome. Piers Morgan praised Trump’s resilience, highlighting the perceived political comeback as monumental Conversely, author Stephen King metaphorically described democracy as fragile, pointing to vulnerabilities in the political system.
Despite the backlash, Trump’s supporters lauded his promises for a “golden age” in America, emphasizing plans to revitalize national policies and address key issues like immigration. Trump’s victory in key battleground states such as Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania underscores his strategic electoral win.
What many don’t seem to recall or perhaps even understand is that when Trump was President we were getting along with countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and many others. Even being able to do those things with what he had to contend with that were caused by the traitors in our government who call themselves Democrats, Donald Trump did one HELL OF A GOOD JOB! Now that he has somewhat of a majority in Congress lets give him a chance. The same chance Biden was given when he spent four years of totally screwing everything up.
Naturally, leaders from other countries are praising Trump’s victory, because they are looking to him as an ally, and for financial assistance, and backing. Thank goodness there are some influential people left in America that see this as a disgrace, and appalling.
