Who will win the battle of Elephant and Donkey?

I have been thinking to write something about the USA election for several days now, but it’s not happening.Election is in next month. There is no more time. It is 59^th election for the elect the USA president.We know that there are two opponent parties in the USA. Republican and democratic parties.  At present president candidate from republican party Mr. Donald Trump and vice president candidate is Mr. Mike Pence. And from democratic party nominated as president candidate to ex- vice president Mr. JoeBiden and vice president candidate is senator Kamala Harris. Now an excitement vote promotion is going on.

Mr. Donald Trump is not a professional politician. Mainly he is a successful business man. When he first came to elect as president that’s time, he changed reckoning all media, country, and peoples and he defeated to Hilary Clinton and he became the most powerful president of the world.  Many were surprised but there was nothing to do. For the past four years, he has been widely discussed and criticized as president of the United States. So many people are thinking that if a person like Donald Trump is elected, America and the whole world will suffer a lot.If it would be better for democratic candidate Joe Biden to win. Whatever it is, in a few days the American people will decide through their vote.

As much as I have tried to understand American politics and the last four years of Donald Trump’s rule, it may not be in agreed with many. Yet I am highlighting some of my own personal perceptions for readers. Donald Trump’s electoral thought is to make America great again. And democratic candidate Joe Biden thinks Trump is bad, destroying America and tarnishing America’s image in the world. So, it would be good for America and the world if they could remove him and come on their own.

First, the main issue for democratic candidates is migrant voters. There is a picture in America that the democratic party is on the side of immigrants and the republican party is against immigrants. The truth is that if the rule of the two parties is analyzed well, then its truth will not be seen in reality. This is the statement of voting contest. First, under the USA constitution, no one can do anything against legal immigrants. Maybe running activities can be brought a little slower but the process will not stop.But now the question is about illegal immigrants. If you look at president Obama’s administration, more illegal immigrants were sent back than current president Donald Trump. But Donald Trump’s problem is that he did not do as much as he said he would.  But president Obama has done quietly and spoke less. Another thing I would like to highlight to the readers. The process of taking 50000 people from each different country to the USA through the DB lottery was started by the republican party during time of president George W Bush. Yet an attitude has been created among immigrants that republicans are anti-immigrants. So those who do a little research and enjoy the benefits will hopefully not be confused.Make the right decision at the time of voting.

President Donald Trump wants jobs employment for Americans. Those who are Americans and voters have said and done a lot for employment. In doing so, those who are living and working illegally in the USAmay not like it.  On the other hand, American companies in many parts of the world that are doing business abroad for cheap labor, especially in the China, and making a profit may not like it.So, several countries in the World are not happy over Donald Trump.Because he is leading those businessmen and the country towards losses by the policy of the administration. Trump’s concern is that if those businesses were to be set up on American soil, it would increase employment within the country. At present, it is more relevant in the context of the epidemic of Covid-19.

Another big election issue is the black and white conflict. This black and white inequality is not a problem in America has created during the last four years. This is a problem from the beginning in America. A lot can be said about this. But those who are living in America know very well that one hand doesn’t clap. Is there any level of government, private, semi-government, administration in America where black and white Americans are not working together? In a word, everyone is working together. Yet in a society there are some people who create inequality and the problems continues. There are no countries that has no problem with religion, community, black and white legal or illegal. The question now is whether this problem has been exacerbated under president Donald Trump and he has not been able to handle it well. May be there is some truth in the thoughts and judgments of the complainants. But judging by the statistics, there have been more incidents than during the reign of black president Barak Obama. But the republican party did not or could not make an issue out of it. On the other hand, the democratic party has made good use of some of the incident that took place during the Donald Trump administration as a powerful political tool. It has not been pouring water but pouring oil. As a result, there has been movement and there has been violence. But nothing directly in the hands of the center or the Trump administration. Because the primary responsibility for the dealing with such incident lies with the administration of those states, including some states where the democratic party is in power. So, the issue can be politicized but the truth is that no one can solve this problem completely, but the good will of the political parties will only help to control it.

The most talked about issue is that the Trump administration is tarnishing America’s image in the world. America is not kept great. Those who think about it and talk a lot about America’s role in the world over last four years have not been able to come up with a specific issue. President Donald Trump talks a lot and does not use the practice of diplomacy much. That’s why criticism is a little more. The president doesn’t do all the works alone. That’s why the white house has large administration team, including the vice president, who are working on the ground. That’s why so many times oral speech and work not the same. We must remember that American politics is not only to please the out-side world but also for the people of that country. Then it is America, there is no doubt that America, then is influencing the world with their actions and thoughts. In the past four years, the United States has not been involved in any significant conflict other than the assassination of Iran’s military chief. Which happened during the Clinton and Obama administrations.

Donald Trump is trying to figure out how to reduce the number of troops in the USA from different countries or withdraw from it. Now those who like war and conflict may not like this policy of Trump. Some Muslim world in particular is a little more dissatisfied. Because Donald Trump wants peace, not war.

Conflict with Israel and Islamic countries have been going on for the last 70 years. Some of them were enterprising at one time but they did not show any success in establishing peace between the two. Since the establishment of the state of Israelin 1947, their enmity with Arab Countries and the Muslim countries has been going on. Diplomatic relations have been established with Egypt and Jordan after two or three wars. It can be said that peace was achieved through war. Since then, no one has been seen to criticize the two countries. But after so many years, when Donald Trump came to power, he entrusted to his son in law with the task of establish peace between Arabs and Israel. The current apparently seems to be a lot more successful that way. Israel has established diplomatic relations with the United ArabEmirates, Bahrain and Sudan. Everyone is happy except the Palestinian people and a few Muslim countries.

I don’t know what the Nobel prize authority arethinking about this? I don’t know president Trump will win the Nobel prize or not, but there is no doubt that the Arab-Israel peace atmosphere has been created. It is hoped that gradually more Arab countries will come forward to establish peace with Israel.

Then for the first time, president Donald Trump took the initiative to make peace with North Korea. He has met with North Korean president and supreme leader Kim Jong Un. Has continued to communicate administratively at highest level of the United States. Although there has not been much success yet. Only Donald Trump has moved for peace. May lasting peace be established between the two Koreas. Time will tell, especially if he wins the election next November, hope he will continue this initiative. Since Donald Trump is a successful businessman, he knows what kind of business relationship with which country will benefit America. That is why he is in conflict with many countries on business issues. Which has been publicized in the media.

Democratic candidate Joe Biden, on other hand side, has long been out of politics. His physical condition is not so good. The democratic party failed to present any national or international issues that would give people a chance to think about voting. In the previous election, Hillary Clinton tried to win the hearts of people or women voters by saying that she was a woman candidate but could not succeed. Once again, a woman vice-president, Kamala Harris, has been nominated and continues to try to hunt three birds with one stone. First, she is a woman. People are trying to understand that the democratic party respects women a lot and cares for them. So, all women should win them by voting in the donkey symbol. The second is she is half African-American. That’s mean she is black.So, since African-Americans are black, they will vote for black in groups. Here is the initiative to use the Barak Obama card. So, this time he is also ready to ask vote for the party. Third, she is half Asian-American. So, she can draw the votes of the Asian immigrants.

Those who live at Jamaicain New York, are well acquainted with the behavior of African-American.  A few days ago, Asian-Americans marched against her in her constituency, alleging that she did not treat them well. Many in her constituency complained about her temperament and bias. That is to say, all the thoughts and hopes with which they had made her a senator by voting, the hopes were shattered after that vote.

Like last time, this time too, various polls show that the democratic party is ahead. So, the republican party and Donald Trump have taken the issue seriously and jumped into the election campaign. Both allegations and counter allegation have reached a point where many Americans voters do not like them. I also think how I know all this is very inappropriate in America’s politics. Even then, the American people must vote for one of the two. Elephant is the election symbol of president Donald Trump. and Joe Biden’s election symbol is donkey. It remains to be seen who will be final winner in the elephant and donkey fight? However, given America’s natural heritage and overall, the chances of an elephant winning are much higher.
