Here Are 10 SHOCKING Ways Raila Odinga Is Just Like Donald Trump. Number 7 Is A Fact. Wow!

Donald J. Trump has blazed his way across America-and the World at large-like a wild typhoon. Everywhere he goes,he has managed to create a blizzering media circus,with hundreds of thousands of fanatical supporters falling over themselves to watch him speak,see him in the flesh and have the pleasure of watching their iconoclastic Idol utter another one of his deplorable,infamous gaffes-and get away with it.

Just like eccentric Governor Sarah Palin,who recently endorsed him in a raucously received massive event in Iowa,Trump has clearly gone rogue.

The rhetoric of the 2016 American elections season has turned into an overflowing toxic brew of anger,rudeness,arrogance and offensive flamboyance that is staining the already sullied fabric of America.

In less than an year,the bizarre billionaire business magnate and unlikely TV superstar has managed to offend Latinos,Blacks,Muslims,Women,the disabled and pretty much anyone else in between but still remains incredibly popular,widely adored and amazingly the most preferred and outstanding Presidential Candidate.

He has straddled across America,eviscerated his foes,stunned the World,silenced his critics and managed to galvanize a divided nation on the rhetoric of Americanism,heroism and incredulous capitalism.

He’s has carved a niche for himself… As the hero and ultimate Savior of the White Population. And the White Population,which makes up the bulk of America and which often-times loves to believe owns America,has received him with the openest of open arms.

In very many ways,Donald Trump is very similar to our own maverick political superstar and indefatigable national figure,Raila A. Odinga.

However,unlike the abhorrent American maniac,Raila is NOT offensive,does not openly insult minorities,is not prone to gaffes and has not mocked any particular group for popularity purposes. But still,the similarities abound.

10 Amazing Similarities Between Donald J. Trump and Raila A. Odinga. Number 7 Is Point Blank!

1. Both Are Widely Beloved 
No one politician in Kenya commands the sort of love and adoration that Raila commands. From the days of FORD-KENYA to the current days of the monolithic ODM party,Raila’s command and love from the supporters has never waned. He remains widely adored and hugely popular with the masses,from his native Nyanza to the Coast to Meru. Just like Trump,he is loved in ways that are enviable. And unbreakable.

2. Volatile,Aggressive Supporters 
Raila’s supporters,just like Donald Trump’s,can turn volatile very quickly. They only need the slightest provocation and they’re tipped off. Raila’s supporters are easier to pick a fight with you than say,Ruto’s or Uhuru’s supporters. All of this stems from the unbreakable allegiance they have for Raila and the style and manner in which they chose to convey their support. They can be very sweet one minute and very fearsome the next minute. Just like Trump’s supporters,Raila’s are notoriously intolerant of any form of attack directed to them. And they can get very dangerous too. Online and offline. Ask Larry MadoWow.

3. Easily Detestable 
It’s much easier to hate Raila Odinga than it is to hate any other Kenyan politician. Just like he’s one of the most loved – if not the most loved – Kenyan politician,he’s also,just like Donald Trump,the most hated and vilified politician. The people who hate both politicians also hate them with a deep passion and they’re totally intolerable of them. Raila commands the biggest percentage of hatred for a Kenyan politician. And Donald has the most brazen haters in America. People who would actually kill him as alluded in the song Free Enterprise by MMG rapper Rick Ross.

4. Outrageous 
Both politicians are known for their sometimes crazy on stage utterances. There’s some stuff Raila has said that was simply ludicrous and utterly insane. Donald has done the same too. A billion times. Both seem to enjoy stirring the Hornet’s nest by making the most incredible statements and then later retracting them or standing by them anyway. No Kenyan politician has made crazier on stage utterances like Raila Odinga. He seems to be pretty good at conjuring up situations and ideas and he isn’t afraid to speak them out. However ridiculous they may sound. Same as Trump.

5. Charisma 
In the Google dictionary,Charisma is defined as compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.. And Raila Odinga,same as Trump,is the personification of that word in Kenya. No one comes close. No one. Period.


6. Entertaining 
This is loosely tied to the word above -Charisma. Nicki Minaj once said that even though she wouldn’t vote for him, she enjoyed watching Donald Trump’s Presidential Campaign because to her,it looked more like a Reality Show than an actual Presidential Campaign. Numerous political and Media pundits have equated Trump’s electrifying campaign to an entertainment show and many have called his public antics ‘entertaining’. And just like Trump, Raila is highly entertaining. He’s funny,witty,engaging,unpredictable,in-touch and pompous. Raila’s campaigns and rallies are far much more entertaining to watch than any other politicians’.

7. Demagoguery 
The Google dictionary defines Demagoguery as an appeal to people that plays on their emotions and prejudices rather than on their rational side. Demagoguery is a manipulative approach — often associated with dictators and sleazy politicians — that appeals to the worst nature of people- and that’s exactly what Raila and Trump do; they play on people’s emotions to pass a message rather than logic. This explains the Fanatical following they both command and the fact that they appear to be Teflon Dons. By appealing to the emotions of the masses,and telling them what they want to hear not what they need to hear,Raila, just like Trump,has mastered the art of demagoguery. Even after all these years,he still manages to be widely loved and lionized even though he hasn’t really done alot of tangible things/developments for the Country or the areas of his jurisdiction.

8. Policital Adeptness 
Even though Donald Trump is a Washington outsider,he has quickly proved himself to be very adept and skilled at the art of politics. His political prowess currently rivals that of many seasoned Congressmen. All within just a few months. And as far as politicians go,Raila is the finest of them all. He may have missed Presidency thrice but he still remains the most dazzling Kenyan political figure. Maybe with the exception of Retired President Daniel Moi who famously christened himself the ‘Professor of Politics’.

9. Media Savvy 
Give Raila a camera and a mic and he’ll have something to say. Organize any media event and Raila will show up. Three minutes into any national disaster and Raila will be there… Helping out the victims,making a press statement. Much like his other brother Donald Trump,himself a certified media expert and television superstar. Raila’s relationship with the media is like Beyoncé’s relationship with Jay-Unbreakable.

10. Electable 
Despite their wild natures,often crazy policies,eccentric antics,shocking statements,polarizing characteristics and divisive politicking,both are very very Electable. Raila has never lost in an area he vied in. Actually,his loss is unthinkable. And despite the fact that he has lost ignominiously in all of the three times he vied for President,we all somewhat know who won in 2007. Very electable figures,these ones.

Wait… Don’t hurl stones at a sister. It’s just an observation. You can come up with yours too. Great? Right?
