Solving by substituting

America and Americans are sharply divided: the country along latitude and longitude lines (that is why there are more than one time zone within the country), and the people along party lines (that is also why there are two parties and few independent of political  philosophies), respectively.

They are therefore angry at both phenomena, but with no one in particular.

Some two years ago, Americans in their unending quest for naivety decided to let the Presidency be a first time job entry and Donald Trump hurriedly applied. After eight years of the colour contrast in the white house, Americans were ready to welcome any white person, not woman, though, into the white house again. Trump was surprised nobody checked his resume, it must be mentioned that he didn't have one. It was shocking  even to Mr Trump himself that his background check result was swept under the carpet. He lost the debates, lost the popular vote but won the elitists' political gimmickry called electoral college.

America and Americans already have light that is not dependent on a super minister. They also have fantastic road infrastructure that you can actually drive on. They have telecommunications that works even when the owners are not in town and political structures that is not founded on ethnic considerations. So, Trump ran a provocative campaign that will make America great again by promising to provide what they lack - nationalism,  white immigrants, walls, obnoxious taxes, and peaceful Muslims.

Two years into his administration's controlling all arms of government, and with his family members in sensitive governmental positions, apart from nepotism, nothing has been achieved. With Democrats back in the house, Mexico's  blunt refusal to pay for a wall they didn't order for and 17 days into an infamous shutdown of government that has render 800,000 federal government workers unpaid, Americans are beginning to get impatiently edgy.

Belatedly, Americans have taken to the malls, compulsively shopping in protest. Activities have also increased  at the diners and take-outs as more Americans are seen letting out their frustrations on different cuisines washed down with cheap wine because the economy is not so good. You cannot blame them, managing this political situation for the next two years online is a better prospect than burning tyres on their streets.

In his protest, Trump has decided  that he may declare a national emergency that will help him embark on his own shopping spree by bypassing the Congress in building a wall of his promise. For me, it is comforting to have a spare country that has been relatively peaceful in the last three years due to the fact that that we have not been paying attention to the devil in the details of our political dialogue.
