My 'trumped-up' thoughts on thumped [Donald] Trump

His campaign had called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

He is Donald Trump. A US business mogul and republican politician who doesn't deserve even the intention of Muslims let alone our attention. Trump is being the "tramp" that he has been and actively continues to be.

He reminds me of the Bedouin Arab who dared urinate in the mosque during the time of our prophet Mohammed [PBUH] and it contend we follow the reaction of Rasool.

Mohammed allowed the Bedouin to finish peeing, a move the companions had wanted to hault almost when the act started. Trump has been "urinating" on everyone he feels like, political rivals - direct and indirect - global insurgents, media people etc.

His utopian ban on Muslims entering the US idea was and is perhaps his most heard of rant and if you ask me, it is not in the least surprising knowing tramp Trump's pedigree in making outlandish statements.

The "poor" man has since been thumped enough and i dare say even those in support of his whack idea would conveniently condemn him in the light of political correctness and expediency.

Two quick rhetorical questions to Trump: what would Trump make of non US Muslims already in America? Ship them out to the gulf i guess. After all he's got cash so to do.

And of American Muslims outside the States; would Trump build some more Trump Towers in Middle East and to resettle them there?

Tramp Trump is a lost cause, bent on making America "GRIEF" [caps mine] again. Man's a bundle of nerves without verve and one who common sense has swerved. Why at all should we waste anymore time on him?

And oh, to pray that he loses out on his party's nomination and the US presidency is laughable to say the least. Kai! May Trump win and become President of the US, he CANNOT do NO NOTHING to Muslims in or outside the US [pardon my emphatically wrong grammatical construction]

Tramp Trump is as ordinary as any US citizen and human being for that matter across the globe, can someone tell him that success in business is not a synonym for political success?

In my far away corner in Nkrumah's Ghana, i feel the political braggard's powerlessness and deafening lack of seriousness on the political trail, i charge fellow Muslims to see him as a "urinating" Bedouin, a passing flatulence and a political misnomer.

We as Muslims owe no one an apology even if we can't live without the baggage that some who profess to be "of us" are creating chaotic situations across the world, regrettably so. We remain Muslims nonetheless.

Thanks for reading my trumped up thoughts.
