Give Trump a chance; Will do a good job- Doug Wheatley
Mr Trump shattered expectations with an election night victory that revealed deep anti-establishment anger among American voters and set the world on a journey into the political unknown.
The Republican nominee has achieved one of the most improbable political victories in modern US history, despite a series of controversies that would easily have destroyed other candidacies, extreme policies that have drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle, a record of racist and sexist behaviour, and a lack of conventional political experience.
Meanwhile, host of the Speak out BVI show on ZBVI 780 AM Doug Wheatley, using his 60-minute weekly programme on Tuesday November 15, 2016 said while many may be “unhappy campers” Trump making it to the top says a lot.
“What I think needs to be done is Mr Trump be given an opportunity to plan his work, plan his programmes, along with persons who work so faithfully with him. I know there are many persons throughout the world unhappy, there are many persons in the Virgin Islands who are unhappy, but I would say this to you, what God doesn’t want the angels are going to have, the fact that he has come through all the difficulties and has become the President of the US says something and I think all of us ought to give him a chance and to see what he will do,” Mr Wheatley said.
He added, “And my own personal belief is that he will do a good job.”
Meantime, Wheatley while describing the election as “monumental” and one that will change the face and political landscape of the US, pointed out that there are lessons to be learned by the territory to do a better job when the time comes for the general election.
The Talk show host touched on the roles of the candidates, the party organisation, and the media. According to him, the voice of the people is the voice of God, the people have the power to elect or not elect representatives to serve them.

Hi-liar-y is a crooked as they come.
It is democracy - suck it up and enjoy.
Immigrants are terrified, women are terrified, muslims are terrified. These are NOT spoiled losers. Hate crimes are exploding in the US because Trump's behavior gave them permission to come out of the shadows. This is not OK.
anyone but Trump. He is a petulant child. At least other candidates know or read the constitution. I accept a new election, but what is happening/ will happen is by all accounts (including republicans on the hill) a worrisome event. They are in charge yes, but they are worried to see what unfolds. Democracy doesn't allow harassment of one people over another, or violation of civil rights, throwing 11 mil immigrants out, etc. Democrats had "shit to offer" yet Obama saved the car industry, stabilized the economy left over from wall-street driven crash etc. Democracy is giving everyone a voice respectfully. concentrate on BVI, conflicts of interest, secret deals, investment club, disappearing monies, egos, incivility and inexperience, then you will see what I mean. Then again, you may see it as business as usual without involvement or concern. But US has bigger influence than BVI.
Pass Presidents had experience! A man with money should not be able to just jump up one morning and be able to run for President.
He is the worst President.
Plus he going to be 'grabbing' some new aids working at White House. Trouble in America's camp. Wendy, we are watching the show with Busta and Popcorn.
held public office to have a record. His business practices and achievement are all questionable, He speaks
with two tounges. Know one knows for sure what he will do after taking off, you can only hope for the best
but cant make an honest call based real facts.
He already began flip floping and hasnt taken office yet, come on Dougie get real for once.
Including you?
Trump is a brilliant marketer and I give him that but I am not sure about his management. Look at how he manipulated the media for free spots for his campaign in the primaries and then turned against them when they realized they were taken advantage and that he was a threat and started to do some digging in his past. His use of social media eg. twitter/fb . Imagine this man spent half the money Hilary spent and won the election.
Some BVI Islanders who support him may be doing so because they endorse his message of nationalism and protectionism which is natural in every country to have people who support that philosophy. America was built on the back of immigrants, BVI too, we need to embrace not exclude them and see how we can work together to build a great nation. I like his message of drain the swamp in the case of term limits for senators although that will need the support of the same senators who he wants to curtail their term of their periods. Good luck with that. However all his messages were distorted by his attacks on Mexicans, Muslims, his condescending talk about blacks, sexism which unfortunately I will never support. Most of all his temperament is a major concern as based on his reactions to trivial matters during the campaign and even now which makes me very concerned with how he will be able to deal with rogue world leaders like Putin, Kim Jong Un, Iran, China etc. Look at who he is surrounding himself with : Guiliani, Gingrich, Bannon?
Serious days lie ahead for America and the World.
