I love Donald Trump, hear me out

I love Donald Trump. Dont go running off hating me before you hear me out.

As long as Ive known Jamaicans and observed my own people, I realise they really do not get creative until something really happens. We all own a beautiful island of rich earth, and sparling waters that everybody else seem to appreciate BUT us.
In Trump’s country – America – they did experience worse poverty and challenges than us -dare I say. Yet they managed to move out of it in such a way lots of other countries leave their own birthright to migrate there blindly.
Need I say more. Well OK.

Jamaica finally made the ban list. We can’t migrate to America. However temporary this is perhaps the best thing that every happened to Jamaica since the invention of slice bread as we would say.

PAUSE AND REFLECT

There was a time when the US President ensured the planting of potatoes across US to alleviate poverty. Its the persons Jamaicans run leaving their good ole time home cooking and run to Kentucky, Popeyes, Churches – literally in Jamaica.

Didnt I always say BUILD JAMAICA… why are we fretting…

For reasons like this US migrant ban, I started a foundation – The OAaSIS International Foundation, and up till when PNP ministers told me they could believe I was doing so much without cash, the foundation did VERY WELL> So well we were asked to go into even more places.
Can you imagine we never solicited funds just operated on RAW volunteerism of creative persons. Sure though there were companies that provided food and material to work with. Individuals lent their talents and taught their skills. Today I see the results, but alas there are few, as when we were threatened that we needed to pay tax from what we were never getting, owned – RAW CASH we had to slow down our activity. Interestingly some activity has been restored because Jamaica needs it, and with JLP in power I know things will be different regardless of where the vote lies.

My perspective on who should be blamed are our own leaders. NOT DONALD TRUMP.
I reckon its a hard sight to be born in a country, work hard and see so many persons just come and do a host of activity resulting on a strain on the US economy.
Perhaps I would just find a way to mete hardships and taxations on those ‘wrongdoers’. Banning migration works better for Donald Trump who just doesn’t have the time and dime to waste on a great deal Jamaicans present with on their arrival. Truth be told social media especially on youtube has in fact open the eyes and ears of many.

Didnt I always ask – why are Jamaicans running to the ‘greener grass’ when they can simply trim and sort out our own weeds. Perhaps although Nanny sold us out with the treaties, her Spirit can be summoned to teach us how to fight and how to do so creatively.

The ban is a wake up call. Jamaicans need to build Jamaica.. we need to ensure our creative minds in our youth get to work… BUILD opportunities for ourselves here.. pan dis island. If America could have turned around the country’s financial status with pure grown POTATOES why cant we do something… OOPS… now can we still export…

On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, 3000 persons came to tax court… on one day… lots of bawling about the unscrupulous deceitful way the police are forced to issue tickets.. but with 2999 persons to wait on… people just paid up… WHITHER that money TRAVELLED.. not even on Jamaica roads… Where is Nanny who signed treaty to return slaves.. Can we summon her spirit to fight as no one today will stand to do more than look on and complain for 10 days..
ON THE OTHER HAND, with the passing of Melissa and her colleagues across Jamaica, whether by nature or by manmade or even the interventions of politicians. WHO can BLAME TRUMP. Way too many Jamaicans migrate elsewhere to live off welfare in America. Way too many go there to do everything but being productive to even contributing to BUILD JAMAICA for their unexpected return.

Sure there are more positives . especially as we trained ourselves to rely heavily on tourism.. no party excused.

I guess when more of us FEEL THE PINCH and starve… we’ll really get physical.. JAMAICANS WAKE UP,..

MIGRATION US ON PAUSE an all hell breaks loose.. WHY? How comes… Trump is ‘on a mission’ to make a falling US great again. How comes we didnt realise our own greatness to truly treasure and increase it? TIME COME to tun yuh han an’ mek fashion.
