By Saeed Duha
Editor, The Kak Atlantic
“Government of the people,by the people,for the people,shall not perish from the Earth” by The great president Abraham Lincoln mentioned.
We are by the people ,of the people or for people “ but did any of candidate prove it in 2016 Election yet? ,they are for all American’s President? None,but before eve of the Election day, Ms. Hilary gave a overwhelming Speech after FBI released that she is not worthy of email allegation . By contrast, Trump from the beginning ,he stood for against all minorities people ,immigrants ,Hispanic and Muslim ,even talking against women . He did not raise his voice as a candidate of inclusive all of Americans. People mostly care about its land, safety , jobs, equality ,all commitment for hope , rather than Mr. Trump apparently shown divisiveness among America communities.

Republic president Candidate Trump
vise- a- Versa , Did Hilary open her arms for all American ? At the beginning , not ! She did not show generous as well , until final decision has been declared by FBI director James B. Comey on Nov.6 ,2016 . The example of her division is that she mentioned that, who are supporters of Mr.Trump are “Deplorable ” link : She differentiated American as well It was a hotcake for Trump campaign issue .But as a American president candidate, it has hardly ever found in history of American Election as well as differentiation among diverse American Communities .In comparing to Trump, Ms. Hilary has divided as similar as a drop of water in the sea. In spite of that, they could sand for every American’s will, prosperity and advancement and future of American’s children . American firmly believes that even, the rest of world’s keep staring at the American’s president Election and Leadership due to, it is a merely not for a President of USA . Crucially , a person , a mentor or a president of global safety ,power and Icon of the world’s progress , is not it?
In addition , very Recently, predecessor the President (whoever comes next ) Barack Obama mentioned about Trump “unfit” in his Speech, and he also spoke about his tweeting skill.
“Apparently his campaign has taken away his Twitter,” Obama scoffed, issuing an attack line on Donald Trump that would barely have made sense during his first stop there eight years earlier. “They had so little confidence in his self-control they said we’re just going to take away your Twitter. If somebody can’t handle a Twitter account, they can’t handle the nuclear codes. President Obama ,”Source CNN.
