Yamiche Alcindor is an American Journalist with Haitian roots. She is known for speaking up to the injustices within the United States. In her Politico Playbook article, A fitting end to the Trump presidency, she illustrates her distaste for Former President Trump's unfortunate actions. Alcindor says, "For years now, I have covered the Trump administration up close and watched him create a house of mirrors for fervent followers to replicate at their dinner tables, at their city council meetings and in their own city capitals. I talked to sources who enabled his lies and who saw in Trump a vehicle for all their political dreams to come true." Yamiche explains her thoughts about former president Trump's actions, "I keep thinking about my Haitian ancestors, who like many immigrants came to this country fleeing a dictator in the 1970s and seeking political stability. I keep thinking about the immigrants I interviewed for a NewsHour story who fled political instability to come to the United States. They stressed that democracy is fragile. Francois Pierre-Louis, who immigrated from Haiti after his uncles were murdered by a dictator there, told me something that now seems like a premonition. He said last month, Trump "has all these people out there mobilizing for him, and these people are armed, they're threatening people, sooner or later, they can go out there and start violence." She continues, "That is when it dawned on me just how fitting of an end this is for Trump, who kicked off what now feels like one big never-ending news cycle the moment the reality television personality descended from the escalators of Trump Towers in 2015. He fought, lied and argued his way into the Oval Office with grievance politics, racist rhetoric and an effective ability to convince millions of people that he was the embodiment of their pains and their frustrations about a changing America." In her article, she recaps the past and brings light to what Trump might want of the future. Her unique perspective gives us a glimpse of hope and profound sense that there is more to be done to make sure Trump's idea of a future does not come to fruition.
