Republican candidate Donald Trump just won the 2024 US presidential election, becoming the second president to be defeated and then re-elected to a subsequent term. The first was Grover Cleveland, who did two turns in the White House from 1885-1889 and 1893-1897.
In Africa, Trump’s victory, though perhaps not received with the same giddiness as in 2016 by many, still finds favour among constituents of diehards. You have to envy Trump, because many of his African supporters love him not because he did and will do good things, but precisely because he won’t, and despises the continent.
