Trump is back, what are the implications for Guyana – Part 1

Dear Editor,
Trump’s triumphal return to The White House is a great comeback and a first for a returning American president. It is the first for a highly controversial person to have a rare comeback story voted into the highest position in the greatest country on earth. Trump has won convincingly, which means that he has control of both houses, that is, Congress as well as the Senate, as he goes on to lead America for the next four years, unfettered and unhindered by a dormant and recessive Democrat Opposition.
But before we engage in extreme rejoicing in Trump’s victory, I would like us to do some background checks on the man.
First, Trump lost the 2020 Elections by some 15,000 votes, which he tried to fraudulently overturn. Trump solicited The Georgia Governor to falsify the figures and gift him 15,000 votes, the same margin he lost the election, that did not happen, which further prompted him to up the pressure on Congress. That election fiasco was further escalated into a violent invasion of Congress by Trump’s supporters, that armed confrontation left four people dead and scores others wounded.
Now, Trump was taken to court – where the matter still languishes – for trial, Trump being accused of orchestrating that deadly invasion. The court has tried him for all peripheral matters, but the main indictable offence of trying to steal an election has been delayed ever since. The reason being, if Trump had tried and most certainly would have been convicted, he could not have run for the presidency.
Now, contrast that with the situation in Guyana where The PNC Led Coalition lost the elections by a similar margin of 15,000 votes, when they through their instrumentalities tried to falsify the figures to show a win for that party. Lowenfield and Mingo brazenly secured a signature and then proceeded to make a false declaration. This matter is also in court awaiting trial and conviction, something The Guyana Judiciary is fighting to stave off.
The point is both matters came under the purview of a court of law, in both cases, that is, the American Court as well as The Guyana Court are very sympathetic to the accused and have seen to it that the matters are delayed and not reach a conclusion. If The Guyana Court had their way the Election Fraud Case would never have been tried, something the fraudsters would like to see happening here, however, the Guyana courts are not the final to any court case, our final court is the CCJ.
There is a big difference between the two courts, the CCJ is our final court whereas, The Supreme Court of America is their final court. The Supreme Court of America has given Trump a free pass so that he could run for president. He ran and won convincingly all because the highest court of the land gave him permission to.
The next step is to get the fraud case off the record which Trump’s Lawyers have already made attempts to have thrown out, it means whether the court would accede to his demands or not Trump now has the backing of the law that gives him permission to administer to himself a presidential pardon. In either scenario, Trump was convincingly successful in getting the system to work on his behalf.
Now, The PNC would argue that this is the same situation that manifested itself here in Guyana when Dr Ali was slapped with nine fraud charges but still got the chance to run for president. Well, the marked difference between Trump and Ali, was that Ali’s Case was never tried, all because those charges were trumped-up allegations of The PNC and could not stand the test of a trial.
So, while they were busily engaged in putting together their concoction of charges, Ali was well on the way to being the PPP/C’s Candidate. He contested the election and won, which left the court with no alternative but to strike out the case. Again, whether the court struck out the matter or not, Ali as the elected president had the option of pardoning himself, something Trump is sure to do. I shall continue this discussion in part 2.

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
