American President Election



The other day, while we were having dinner, we were chatting and somehow, the topic drifted to the American Presidential Election...

Max asked Ace what he thought of it and who he will vote for if he were American...

And then Ace said he thought both candidates were quite bad...

I told Max Ace is probably biased... what does he know about  Amercian politics right... All that he knows are based on the many youtube videos he watched. For example, he once showed me a youtube video by a youtuber called Grade A Under A and it was about how Hilary Clinton was a bad choice as President.

For example, GAUA replayed the many times that Hilary cheered and encouraged everyone to vote for a female president and he went on to say that is not a good reason for people to vote for her... cos does it mean after her, America should try to have a dog president?

Anyway, Max asked Ace what he thought and Ace did not reply...

"Haiya, you ask him this type of very cheem question... he is only 11 leh, he probably has no opinions lah..." I said..

And then Max asked Ace again... "So who will you vote for?"

Turned out, it was not that Ace did not have an opinion.. it was that he was thinking....

He finally responded... "They are both no good.. but if I really had to choose, I will vote for Trump..."

Huh?!  I was a little shocked at his choice...

Max asked him why and Ace explained...

"Well, Hilary is very bad lor.. she sold weapons to the terrorists leh..... She really did something bad lor... Trump say alot of things.. but talk only mah..." Ace said.

I wondered if many of the Americans who have decided to support Trump think the same way as my 11 year old son...

And Max says to me... "Who says he does not have an opinion..." hahaahaha... I guess every election is always a good time to expose Ace a little more to politics...

And then we went on to talk about Obama and what we think of Hilary and Trump and what are some of the other things they have done and why people should give more thought to whether they want to support them... (Eg, we told Ace that Trump also DID things... like he was disrespectful to women and he did not declare or even pay taxes...)

Whatever the outcome this coming November.... we hope Americans will enjoy many  good years ahead regardless of who wins the race.
