Rapper Eminem gained much attention
on both mainstream media and social media for his performance at the BET Hip
Hop Awards on October 6th, where he free-style rapped about President
Trump. I recently had a chance to view that footage and I must agree that
Eminem pretty much nailed it when he echoed the feelings of much of the
country, myself included. However, I do not think it was appropriate. Before
you get go getting all bent out of shape, hear me out. While everything Eminem said was on point and
President Trump has shown that he is a lousy human being, he is still the
President of the United States. As such we as citizens need to respect the
position if not the person holding the position. Let me elaborate more. As an individual you
are entitled to your opinion about anything or anyone. You can trash talk all
day long, but when you are a public figure – politician or celebrity - you have
a duty to conduct yourself appropriately. Much of what is aired on the news and
on social media reaches across the globe. Other countries have a magnifying
glass trained on America. Everything we do or say is used to make or break
relations. How can we expect other countries to take us seriously and respect
the position of the Presidency if we don’t? President Obama put it quite
eloquently after he won his first election. He pretty much said that he was
everyone’s president whether or not they voted for him.

So I ask the question again, how
can we expect other countries to take us seriously when we don't even respect
our leaders? Granted that you may or may not have voted for Donald Trump, but
the fact is we really don’t ever truly vote for the president. Yes we go to the
polls and cast our vote for the candidate we would like to be president, but it
is the Electoral College that determines who will be president even if it goes
against who the majority of the population wants. Therefore, America is not a
democracy it is a republic. So if you're still thinking that your vote matters
and that you choose the president, you are sadly mistaken. So whether or not
you voted for Donald Trump, it does not matter. He is in office because “the
power that be” wants him there. President Trump has no power in and off
himself, only what is allotted him. Basically,
President Trump has as much power as his previous successors, President Obama
included. He is being manipulated just like every other president. Fact is
Presidents don’t make policy, they only enforce the policies that are already
set.

President Obama had a lot of
positive changes he was going to implement once he got into office. He ran on a
platform that a marriage was between a man and a woman. Yet by his second term
his tune change drastically. His second term he supported the LGBT lifestyle.
And, as every other president before him, he got significantly gray. Do you
think that's by accident? I don’t think so. It has been said that stress can
make a person gray prematurely. What could be so stressful to a president that
within years, if not months of taking office, they start showing signs of
graying? Could it be that once these candidates get in office they realize that
they have no say in anything and they cannot affect change as they want it? I
think so. They have to read the script that is given to them and they have to
shake the hands that they were told to shake and they have to literally kiss
the ass they're told to kiss. So while President Trump, as a human being, may
be insensitive, lack character, and have no social grace he is still the President
of the United States and everything that he is doing is being done by script -
period.

Do you really think that President
Trump is that ditzy or stupid? He is a multi-millionaire business man. A
shroud businessman at best. He knows perfectly well how to wheel and deal so he
can make money and he is very good at it especially when you take into consideration
how many times he has filed bankruptcy and still retain/regain his wealth. But
when it comes to being the President of United States he sucks at it. Well that
depends on who you ask. For some people he is doing a great job repealing what
President Obama did. For others, he sucks because he is repealing what
President Obama did. If you can wrap your brain around the fact that just like
President Obama was handpicked because of his character for the role “they”
needed him to play, so was President Trump. “They” need President Trump to play the role
he is playing and he has the character flaws they need for him to effectively
fill the role. I don’t have it totally figured out yet, but it seems to me that
they needed 8 years to put in place the policies that they now need President
Trump to enforce. The few things that President Obama was allowed to put in
place which has now become the subject of controversy, i.e., The Affordable Healthcare
Plan, also known as Obama Care, were allowed so that it will be a distraction
while they put policies in place. “The powers that be” knows that Trump is the
perfect one to push for their agenda at this time. They already knew what they
were doing when they passed the Obamacare and other legislations, including
climate control legislation. All those things were done so that now we are distracted
with Donald Trump tweeting, Russian involvement, Clinton emails, racially
charged police shootings, etc. All designed to distract us from the real
issues, impending installation of martial laws.

While we are so focused on racial tension
that has been stirred up because of police brutality towards people of color, and
trying to remove Confederate stuff, i.e., flags and statues, so much more is
happening behind the scenes that has nothing to do with race relations. What I'm saying is, don't get caught up in the
hype or circus, because this is what it is - it's a circus. Use this time
wisely. Stand on the sidelines and watch this thing unfold. Just like everything
that happened which led up to 9/11 i.e., the Oklahoma bombing, Timothy McVeigh,
etc. were all planned and executed to put Homeland Security in place and
facilitate the war on Iraq – so are the rash of shooting events that has been plaguing
the country, i.e., school shootings, police involved shootings, and the Las
Vegas shootings. I still don’t understand how one man, with no
prior military training or marksman training could cause that much chaos from
that distance without help? So while the
Republicans and Democrats are trying to insight a civil war by using people of
color and any other race that they can get, including whites, to support their
agenda, my advice is don't get sucked in or manipulated. Just sit on the
sidelines and watch them work this thing out themselves. Otherwise a lot of us
might end up as casualties. Remember President Trump is playing a role. No need
getting bent out of shape because he is doing what he was selected to do – to be a
distraction. I’m Just Saying. I got
issues – what about you?
