An outsider/global viewpoint to U.S. politics: A summary of "THE BARGAIN WITH AMERICA: A Donald Trump Manifesto and Integrity Judgment "

 "The Bargain with America: A Donald Trump Manifesto and Integrity Judgment (In Spite of Them)" is a 2019 nonfiction book by Janvier T. Chando (also known as Janvier Chouteu-Chando), an independent author and geopolitical analyst. It is part of his broader "In Spite of Them" series examining political figures and events.

Overview and ThesisThe book provides an insightful, research-rich analysis of Donald Trump's presidency (focusing primarily on his first term up to 2019), framed around his 2016 campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) and the dozens of specific promises he made to address what many Americans saw as national decline.Chando portrays Trump's tenure as a high-stakes "bargain" between the president and the American people. He evaluates Trump's efforts to fulfill campaign pledges amid intense opposition, including:

• Deep political polarization
• A bipartisan establishment
• "Faceless" socio-economic and political forces
• Relentless media scrutiny

The subtitle "A Donald Trump Manifesto and Integrity Judgment" suggests the book serves partly as a defense or sympathetic examination of Trump's integrity and achievements "in spite of them" (i.e., despite adversaries).Key Themes

• Campaign Promises vs. Reality: It systematically compares Trump's pre-election pledges (e.g., on economy, immigration, foreign policy, trade, and "draining the swamp") with his administration's actions and results.
• Challenges of Governance: The book highlights obstacles like internal factions, legal battles, media hostility, and global shifts that complicated Trump's agenda.
• Broader Context: It situates Trump's presidency in a changing world order, emphasizing themes of American sovereignty, anti-establishment populism, and resilience against entrenched interests.
• Analytical Style: Described as engaging and detailed, it blends political analysis, historical context, and judgment on Trump's character and effectiveness.

Reception and ContextThe book appears to be a pro-Trump or at least balanced-positive account from an independent perspective, rather than an official Trump work. It has limited mainstream reviews but is available in paperback and eBook formats. Chando, who has written on topics like African politics, Russia-Ukraine relations, and Western elites, brings an outsider/global viewpoint to U.S. politics.
In short, it is a supportive chronicle and evaluation of Trump's first-term efforts to deliver on his "bargain" with America, celebrating his tenacity while documenting the extraordinary pressures he faced. It appeals to readers interested in Trump-era politics, MAGA ideology, or populist movements.

The January 24, 1959, parliamentary elections in the British Southern Cameroons

 

In the January 24, 1959, parliamentary elections in the British Southern Cameroons, the opposition Kamerun National Democratic Party (KNDP) won a narrow victory over the governing alliance, securing 14 of the 26 seats in the enlarged House of Assembly. 

The election outcome—which hinged on the newly enfranchised female electorate and a Grassfields base opposed to Nigerian integration—resulted in the following breakdown: 

Seat Breakdown

• Kamerun National Democratic Party (KNDP): 14 seats
• Kamerun National Congress / Kamerun People's Party (KNC/KPP) Alliance: 12 seats 

Popular Vote Summary

While the KNC/KPP alliance held power heading into the election, the KNDP capitalized on an anti-integration platform that favored eventual reunification with French Cameroun. The popular vote was tightly contested, and this narrow victory allowed KNDP leader John Ngu Foncha to take over as Prime Minister, replacing the incumbent E. M. L. Endeley.
