Predictability of Politics & Growth In The US.

• A Talk by Dr. Abusaleh Shariff,Chief Scholar at the US-India Policy Institute, Washington D.C, USA & The Maulana Azad Professor & Maulana Azad University, Hyderabad.

Mr. Trump Triumphs; against all odds and against own expectation; a spectacular win indeed! With traces of racial undertones and hordes rural white-supremacists voting in vengeance to eight years of the so called ‘black rule’ of America. Mrs. Clinton is a victim of anti-incumbency -third straight Democratic rule in Washington D.C. The vote has been a close, although Mrs. Clinton has counted more of the poplar votes, the US electoral process has a unique arithmetic specific to each state which gave the coveted the winning total of 270 electoral votes to Mr. Trump. Over all Mr. Trump shifted the electorate to political right and towards the right side of American map. In real political terms this nation is split in the middle the Rural (dominantly Republican) versus the Urban (dominantly Democrat) divide. The urban concentration across the US are characteristically unique due to pluralistic, multi-ethnic and multicultural concentrations in city centers and working spaces. There are racial undertones of white supremacy; will this fade away or consolidate during Mr. Trumps presidency is yet to be seen.
