Let Trump Be President: Why America Should Move Beyond Harassment


With the 2024 election heating up, I find myself hoping that this time, once Donald Trump wins, he’ll finally be allowed to govern without the constant harassment he faced during his previous term. Regardless of personal politics, it’s hard to deny that Trump has been one of the most heavily scrutinized and attacked presidents in recent American history.


Trump’s 2016 victory stunned the political establishment, which then seemed to mobilize in unprecedented ways to counteract and often undermine him. From the early days of his presidency, investigations and media scrutiny became the norm. Some of this oversight was warranted, of course. After all, any president, especially one with a background like Trump’s, should be held accountable. But there’s a difference between holding a president accountable and placing him under a relentless microscope, often with the express intent of destabilizing his administration.


Think back to the Russia investigation, which overshadowed the first half of Trump’s presidency. Years of hearings, media speculation, and partisan arguments largely distracted from substantive progress on policy issues. The probe, which started with alarming allegations of election interference, eventually fizzled, leaving many Americans feeling like it had been more about politics than justice. Then, as the 2020 election approached, new scandals and investigations cropped up, ensuring that Trump’s presidency remained anything but ordinary.


Some may argue that Trump’s approach to politics invites this level of scrutiny. And yes, his brash style, polarizing decisions, and at times unfiltered communication style were definitely atypical for a U.S. president. But no leader deserves to face a wall of opposition so massive that it nearly immobilizes his ability to govern. It’s no wonder that Trump’s supporters feel emboldened, even radicalized at times, to defend him – they are frustrated with what they see as a system rigged to resist change and protect the status quo at all costs.


The question we should be asking ourselves now is this: What does it say about our democracy if a duly elected president isn’t given a fair chance to lead? If Trump were to win again, as current polls suggest is possible, I hope he’s given that chance. His policies, successes, and failures should stand on their own without interference or a media circus that undermines the integrity of the office.


I believe in a balanced and fair political environment. One that scrutinizes when necessary, but also respects the outcome of a free and fair election. If Trump were to win in 2024, I hope for an America that has learned from past mistakes and is willing to respect the process, even if it means working with a president who doesn’t fit the traditional mold.


Only then can we truly say that our system works as intended: by the people and for the people, no matter who they choose to lead them.

The Cruise Industry in the Cayman Islands: A Turning Point for the Economy and Its People

Image
The Cayman Islands, long celebrated for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back charm, has been a favored stop for cruise lines for decades. Yet, since 2019, the cruise industry here has faced serious challenges, primarily due to the absence of a dedicated cruise berthing facility. While the island once enjoyed a steady stream of cruise ship arrivals, the shift toward larger ships, paired with the limitations of tendering, has led to fewer ships docking at Grand Cayman. The result has been a ripple effect, hurting local businesses, increasing unemployment, and threatening the island's middle and lower classes who rely on tourism for survival. The Missing Berthing Facility and Decline in Ship Calls The Cayman Islands are one of the few Caribbean destinations without a cruise berthing facility, relying on tender boats to shuttle passengers to shore. This outdated method is inconvenient for both passengers and cruise lines, especially as modern ships grow in size a...
