Tuako Tetteh from Ghana also says it is “not easy” to spend almost three years away from family and fears he will have to leave if he is unemployed in the coming months.
“While it is not all the president’s fault,” says Tuako, “principles and ideologies” appear to have undergone major changes at the highest level of leadership, with the support of millions of Americans.
The Ghanaian citizen says that he does not feel fully inclusive, despite having “good friends” from the United States, with whom he tries to maintain a calm atmosphere.
“Even if Biden wins politically, with half the country voting for Trump, the United States has lost morally,” laments Tuako.
