Berbicians love their own version of Donald Trump
lmost ninety-nine percent of the people who listened to Bharrat Jagdeo and Donald Ramotar at Port Mourant last Sunday in commemoration of Cheddi Jagan’s death anniversary would have wished Hillary Clinton to win over Trump, because of Trump’s views on non-white immigration. Here is a piece of news that has not been reported.
The US Embassy has cancelled about three dozen visitors’ visas of Guyanese whom they suspect to have used their visas to work in the US, and returned only to have repeated the pattern over and over.
When I saw some of the names I laughed. I wasn’t surprised to see who they were, meaning from which demography they came. I saw those names days before Jagdeo addressed his gathering. I wonder if those that sat in the audience and listened as Jagdeo lied to them are happy at what Trump is doing. But I wonder in the minds of that Port Mourant audience last Sunday if Trump is a bad president. If the answer is yes, why wasn’t Jagdeo a bad president?
The report in the newspapers said Jagdeo’s speech was given wide applauses. Life is a bittersweet fruit. This was the man who wrecked the sugar industry with the Skeldon factory, but Berbicians are rooting for him. I wonder, I really wonder if Granger says, ‘alright Berbicians I am going to subsidize the sugar industry’, will he get their votes in 2020?
In 2020, I do believe Trump’s America will disappear and those voters in Ohio and elsewhere will leave Trump. Trump cannot bring back the industries and jobs in the South that he promised. Trump will fall in 2020 because white voters who wanted him to put white first will turn against him. They may even vote for a non-white presidential candidate.
Sadly, long after Trump is gone, Jagdeo will be waxing lyrical in Berbice
Maybe Georgetowners are like Berbicians. Maybe Georgetowners and Berbicians are like other Guyanese – a nation that thrives on its own self-destruction. Maybe Georgetowners deserve their mayor and Berbicians deserve their Jagdeo. The losers, of course, are the people of Guyana. But since when have the people of Guyana ever been winners. Maybe they will become winners when oil money comes.
