Ashantipanyin or what so ever you are very ignorant. You have no idea about what the man is talking about. People like you are the ones that bow to so called elites in ignorance and get destroyed. Only wise people will understand this. You will get destroyed and fooled about if you blindly follow the media of the elite.

Indeed, Ghanaians and all Africans in general need to understand the intricacies of Western politics and how their policies are systematically designed often to affect us negatively.

Make no bones about it: it is a "dog eats dog" world of international politics, and " survival of the fittest."

Question is:Is Ghana smart enough to unite and save its citizens from ethnocentricity and self-destruction?

Let each of us answer that question!

Haba!

It take uncommon chutzpa to claim a person who built office towers, hotels, casinos, golf courses, all over the world and still appends his "glorious" name on properties and building owned and used by "Global Elites" is himself not a "Global Elite".

So, Kobina Arthur Kennedy will want us to know that the "US business magnate", Donald Trump, is not part of the Global Elite?

Haba, seriously!

So, when Donald John Trump himself says he can do anything to a woman, including grabbing their "pu**y, without their permission because he Donald John Trump is a star, Kobina Arthur Kennedy does not see a "Global Elite" in Donald Trump.

And if you are going to talk about Mugabe who has been in power since 1987, before "Global Elite was ever in fashion, we can certainly talk about Donald Trump.

This is the same Trump who, since the 1990s, has owned Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA pageants that sent/brought women (and men) from all corners of the world, the women to compete for the most elitist crowns for women on the entire globe.

ITEM: Our sense is, it is a failure of critical thinking to adopt wholesale a definition offered by another entity, and then apply that definition to support your positive view about that same individual, when there are alternative perspectives of the same "thing".

Fascinating and sad, really!

Mr. Smart,
When that happens that day, Donald Trump and those people Dr. Kobina Arthur Kennedy describes as "discontented", will actually pull up the ladder to ensure that even after "our children...wake up" and succed in fixing the ruins Trump and company left behind, "our children" may never be able to get out of their purgatory, no matter how hard they try.

After all, Trump wants to pull health insurance from more than 13 million people even when he does not have a single worthwhile plan. We know that not a single Republican voted for the bill. Not only that, they've so bad-mouthed Obamacare, going as far telling young Americans not to sign up for the insurance (Ted Cruz, for example), that cost increase are now occurring, modest for those who are a bit flexible, notwithstanding.

Lies, bluster, and more lies!

Video Shows Donald Trump With Alleged Mobster He Denied Knowing Robert LiButti was a preferred patron at Trump’s casino, which got fined $200,000 for accommodating his racist and sexist requests.

NEW YORK POST ARCHIVES VIA GETTY IMAGES

Here’s Trump and Libutti in September 1994. This is the guy Trump said he wouldn’t even know what he looked like if he was standing in front of him.

WASHINGTON ? Donald Trump denies that he ever knew Robert LiButti, a reputed mob figure with a penchant for high-dollar gambling. LiButti was a regular at Trump’s Atlantic City casino until 1991, when he was banned from New Jersey gaming halls over his alleged ties to Mafia boss John Gotti.

“If he was standing here in front of me, I wouldn’t know what he looked like,” Trump told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1991.

Asked again about LiButti in March 2016, Trump told Yahoo News: “During the years I very successfully ran the casino business, I knew many high rollers. I assume Mr. LiButti was one of them, but I don’t recognize the name.”

But a new video uncovered Tuesday by Yahoo News shows Trump attending a 1988 “WrestleMania IV” match with LiButti in Atlantic City. The video shows the two together, along with Trump’s then-wife Ivana, in the front row for the hours-long event. It wasn’t a coincidence they were seated next to each other. LiButti’s daughter said she and her father were Trump’s guests.

Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Yahoo News the GOP presidential nominee has attended many events with thousands of people, so there’s nothing to see here.
But LiButti, who died in 2014, wasn’t just another patron at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. He was one of its biggest spenders in the 1980s, and his business was so appreciated that the resort’s management routinely accommodated his racist and sexist requests.

New Jersey state regulators launched a 1991 investigation into allegations by nine Trump Plaza employees that the hotel was reassigning black and female casino employees from gaming tables because LiButti wanted white men instead. LiButti regularly berated minorities and women on the Trump staff, calling them the “vilest” names, including “cunt,” “black bastard” and “Jew bitch,” according to a 1991 transcript from a New Jersey Casino Control Commission hearing.

Trump Plaza was eventually fined $200,000 for discrimination. The hotel was hit with an additional $450,000 fine after the Casino Control Commission discovered that management gave LiButti $1.6 million in the form of luxury cars ? three Ferraris, three Rolls-Royces, a Mercedes-Benz and two Bentleys. LiButti later exchanged the cars for money, which violated state law.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar,rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
