Adam Saleh

Adam Saleh was kicked out of Delta after he speaking Arabic.


I was shocked, so shocked that I thought it is not okay. But it turned out that Adam Saleh is that he is actually a prankster in nature. Many people have pointed out he is actually disturbing the cabinet purposefully and filming peoples reaction over his camera. He is sweating for out of control of the scene when folks in the front seats complaining about him and repelling him out of the plane.

It is hard, undoubtedly.  that it is unfortunate. Adam should be the important and premium person running this shenanigans. Adam is among the most important people running this  show, but it turns out he is crying wolf. I felt bad, for both the society and Adam Saleh. He should improve.

An idea about the presidential election

Presidential election has passed on, it turned out Hilary Clinton has the most vote among the losing candidate in the history. He got more than 2 million popular votes in the U.S. She lost, because the electoral college has decided whoever won over 270 electoral votes will be the president, and PA, MI and WI have decided to go Republican.

Clinton get more votes than over other losing candidates in the U.S. history, this is a pretty big statement, and achievement. Clinton won more popular votes but lost the presdiential bid.

Trump said Clinton focused on the wrong states. And he claims that even if the winning is going to be based on popular votes, Trump would still win, but would campaign differently. Electoral college campaigning style is much more sophisticated and difficult. He still landslided by 2.1%.

Trump thinks about a lot of different situations, and he is very well done in this political presidential campaign. Undeniably, he ran a good campaign, and he is still a very really strong business person ever existing in the world.
