Sir: Donald Trump’s tan was widely talked about during the 2016 US presidential elections. The social media cracked many jokes but “Trump’s longtime friendship with former CEO of a tanning company is the reason behind his tanned skin”, tops the list. Jokes apart, Donald trump, in spite of his extreme ideologies, has won the US Presidential race. The Republican Party has been taking an extreme right position ever since Barry Gold Water contested for the presidency in 1664. Trump, straightforwardly, has distilled all the racism, bigotry and inflated “Christianity” into its purest form. Now the question crops up what particular impact will Trump’s presidency have on Pakistan? Well, just in case if it would have been Clinton, or now Trump, both would have continued to look at Pakistan through the ‘lens of’ Afghanistan. Trump will also do that. He will also shape the US foreign policy after institutional feedback. But unlike her, Trump’s interpretation about Pakistan and South Asia is not very clear. However, Republican’s manifesto advocates “more engagement”. Shah Mehmood Qureshi, former foreign minister of Pakistan, believes that whoever wins, [he or she] would have to engage with Pakistan. But again, their engagement would mainly revolve around Pakistan and Afghanistan. A chauvinistic US President –one that has constantly shown his viciousness for the Muslims, and the one who believes that Christianity is “under attack” because of these “minorities.” Such kind of views coming from an empowered President of the United States of America is definitely going to hit not only the Muslim world but rest of the world too. Nevertheless, America gave its verdict. Donald Trump is the 45th president of America. Trump has replaced Obama in the White House. We can simply say, “Orange is the new Black.” SARA FATIMA QAISRANI Via E-mail
