Only few hours remain before the Americans go to the ballot to elect their next President in what has been described as the most divisive election campaign in US history. Without being perceived to be exceedingly anti-Trump, I totally agree judging by what has been said by many political analysts that the Trump Presidency will be disastrous not only for America but Africa and the world at large.
Donald Trump has based his controversial campaign on racial divisions in America. He has openly called Mexicans ‘rapists’ and vowed to build a wall to keep immigrants off the US. President Obama has tremendously accused Trump of bigotry and cynicism.

This among other crude comments makes Trump uniquely unqualified to occupy the Oval office whose policies affect Africa on daily basis.
