Jonathan Moyo on Trump victory and Clinton loss

Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo says Donald Trump’s victory in the United States presidential elections has shamed liberals and send them into hiding, but it could also spell crisis for America.

“Crisis in America as @realDonaldTrump wins the Presidency to become the first outsider to get inside shaming & sending liberals into hiding!,” he tweeted shortly after Trump beat Democratic Party rival Hillary Clinton.

Moyo, however, said Clinton was not the only loser.

“Besides Clinton the other losers in the US presidential election are media pundits & pollsters who didn't see any victory path for Trump!,” he tweeted.

Though Moyo initially showed no preference for either candidate saying it was for the Americans to decide and “we will work with whomever they choose”, he later seemed to be more sympathetic to Trump than Clinton.

Clinton, he pointed out, was one of the sponsors of the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act which was used by the United States to impose sanctions on Zimbabwe more than a decade ago.

Zimbabwe says sanctions have cost it more than $42 billion and are largely to blame for the present economic crisis in the country.

Trump, on the other hand, Moyo implied could bring business to Zimbabwe.

“His sons love hunting in Zimbabwe,” he said. “That would be a starting point”.

Hunting is big business in Zimbabwe and has seen some of the richest Americans coming to Zimbabwe either for hunting or on Safari.

These include Bill Gates, the world’s richest man who has been to Malilangwe, and another billionaire Bob Parsons who made headlines for killing an elephant.

United States dentist Walter Palmer, a millionaire, made headlines last year for killing Cecil the Lion in the Hwange National Park, but all that seems to now have been forgotten.

There has been speculation that a Trump victory will lead to a stick market crash and plunge the world into recession..
