Dear Donald Trump,
I don’t know what your name means but I can clearly guess it
is an alternative name for a Bad Omen. I am made to understand that you are now
running for the presidency seat in the United States of America. I have also
been made to understand that you really hate Kenyans and you have sworn that as
soon as you are president you will deport all Kenyans back to their soil ‘Oooh
My!!! You gave us goose bumps.’ A country just the size of one state of the
United States and with a population of just 40 million compared to your
America’s 320 million people I would name this the David and Goliath story of
the 21st century.

I understand why a country so small would be such a big
threat to you when you are president because deep within you your conscience
keeps telling you that this is a blessed nation, a nation of heroes, a nation
of history makers and a nation that sires champions. Yes champions who are a
lightning rod that is electrifying not just Kenya but the whole world. We
dominate the world and every corner you move to you have to come to grip,
complexity and power of our heroic deeds revealed in a shimmering mosaic of
memories, insights and actions.
It would also not bother me one bit to brag of our rich
soil, you know why we are the leading exporters of tea and coffee because our
brand is truly profoundly good with no doubt I know your kitchen shelves in
Manhattan are stocked with our Brand of either tea or coffee if not both.
You talk of the American dream Donald Trump we talk of
something much better and bigger we talk of our vision 2030 coz we have
realized like a butterfly we will never go back to being a caterpillar again we
are forever moving forward Our development rate attest vividly to the possible
impact of dream realization.
Ooooh talking of our ladies Trump, FYI they are ladies not
women as you put it, they are the most gorgeous and beautiful women you can
ever find in the world, hardworking, cheerful, kind, loving and reproductive as
you said. Yes reproductive we need to raise more Daniel Odongo’s, more Julius
Yego’s, more Victor Wanyama’s, more Barack Obama’s, more Lupita Nyongo’s, more
Jeff Koinange’s, more Wangari Mathai, more Ngugi wa Thiongo’s and the list is
endless. So the next time you think you are insulting us that we love s** and giving birth joke will be on you. And our men are also
handsome or good looking in short since I know that word to you is a vocabulary
that you don’t understand.
You talk of wealth we also have our very own entrepreneurs
who appear in the Forbes list as you do, who are humble and do not brag as you
do. Instead they touch and transform lives of other Kenyans they are brothers
in deeds Manu Chandaria tops the list, James Mwangi is another one, Chris
Kirubi can’t be left out and we cannot forget Vimal Shah too.
In short what we as Kenyans are trying to tell you in a much
polite way is that you should shut up Trump you’re not immortal nor are you
supernatural. You’re a freaking old man with an inflated ego Yes that’s what
you simply are and cannot prevent Kenya or Kenya from its legendary or
greatness coz we truly are truly spectacular and spellbinding…
Yours Faithfully,
Kenyans
