The November 8, 2016 presidential election in the United States of America has come and gone but the political antics and gimmicks observed during the campaigns and debates leading to the victory of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, remain a shock not only to the American electorate but also to the world.
It is therefore not surprising that both indigenous and non-indigenous Americans alike from all shades of political interests took to the streets protesting the collective choice of the foremost democracy, especially in view of the fact that the incumbent president, Barack Obama, had put all his weight behind the loser, Hillary Clinton.
