Lukashenko comments on results of presidential election in USA
MINSK, 7 November (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko talked to reporters as he visited the 3rd firewood chopping championship for mass media and made a few comments about results of the presidential election in the United States of America, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Certainly, Trump is a powerful figure. Whatever I may feel about him, he is a great person. It was hard to believe that he might win. He has been shot at and faced pressure. They’ve wanted to imprison him and the rest but he forged ahead like a bulldozer. And he did that after seemingly an unsuccessful term of office. Seemingly unsuccessful. This is why it is his personal heroic deed in the name of the American people. He did great from this point of view. Kamala… Kamala is a heroic woman and she shouldn’t cry. I’ve watched her today. She is upset because she has lost. America was ripe to elect a black president but America is not ripe yet to elect a woman. America is not ready for it. And she was on par with this ‘bulldozer’. She did everything possible and impossible. She did great. This is why she shouldn’t cry in any case.”
He also pointed out that after the defeat the Democrats did not urge their supporters to stage protests or arm themselves with mining picks and axes in order to assault the authorities. According to the president, it is a lesson that Belarus’ self-exiled opposition should learn: “If you lose, be ready to continue working. It is a good example for the entire world on the part of the Democratic Party,” the president said.
The head of state stated that he does not care who wins the election in the USA. “I know that I have a piece of land that I have to provide for and defend. I have my own people. I simply express my opinion. It doesn’t matter to me who wins the election but the policy America will pursue does because it represents a third of the world economy and economy is the key matter,” Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out.
He also remarked that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris would not win any votes during a presidential election in Belarus because of the crazy policy they pursue in the USA.
“It is purely an American variant. It has worked. It is their business,” the president added.
