A decade after Kenya's violent elections a new election process has arisen one in which many fear the outcome of. However during these times Barack Obama has taken the time to speak out on these elections with words that bring a sense of peace. Being that his father was from Kenya the conditions of these elections seem to be of importance as he stated " I urge all Kenyans to work for an election- and aftermath - that is peaceful and credible, reinforcing confidence in your constitution and future of your country." (CNN) These words were compared to Donald J. Trump's presidential term in which the author states as an "international embarrassment" because of the choices he makes. Choices that according to the author makes him seem as more of a pubescent teen than a president because of his twitter fingers. His words seem to have no significance even if he did take out time to speak upon these elections. In Kenya President Trump is mocked at and made fun of meanwhile Obama is praised and that speaks for itself.
