US President Donald Trump

By Temitope Ajayi

What a President! President Donald Trump has declared himself elected when vote counting is still going on in key states. He is going to the Supreme Court to stop further counting of ballots.

America and democracy really unfolded. The big deal here is America can not lecture any African or Asian country about democracy and election again.
