'His biggest issue is his mouth': Sunny Leone-Daniel Weber on Donald Trump's win

Irsquom so surprisedrdquo was Sunny Leonersquos opening remark as we got on a call with her an hour after Donald Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States of America Trump who served as the US President from 2017 to 2021 had something of a landslide victory this time way ahead of Democratic Partyrsquos presidential candidate Kamala HarrisWhat will Trumprsquos second term be like When we posed the question to Leone arguably Indiarsquos most famous US citizen she chose to be optimistic ldquoI think hersquoll be a little less aggressive in how he speaks He will still be funny and witty but I think he cares about America doing well in every aspectrdquo she saidDonald TrumpDaniel Weber Leonersquos entrepreneurhusband stated that Trumprsquos masterstroke was that he promised policies that were people and Americacentric ldquoHe is selling lower taxes especially corporate taxes Immigration was his number one priority he wants tighter immigration policy Lowering crime is a big agenda as is ending foreign wars In the last two years we have seen big conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and Israel with Hezbollah and Hamas During his first term there were no wars Thatrsquos a big thing he was running onmdashthat he will hopefully put an end to the warsrdquo said WeberChiming in Leone recounted that during his last term Trump brought US troops stationed in Afghanistan back home ldquoI remember how happy people were that they were finally not having to be on the frontlines or in dangerous areas The soldiersrsquo families were extremely happy Even though American soldiers arenrsquot on the battlefields we have the Navy and US soldiers in supporting roles in so many places all over the world They should be brought home and the conflicts should be ended with some resolution That was a big agenda of TrumprdquoBut Trump 20 comes with some older problems Leone pointed out ldquoI think his biggest issue is his mouth He is his own worst enemy Sometimes you just donrsquot know what he is going to say I think if he keeps himself calm chooses his words wisely and follows decorum he will be able to leave with a different legacy after four yearsrdquo She is also hopeful that the Presidentelect will focus on womenrsquos healthcare during his term With his victory the future of abortion rights in the US faces uncertainty She said ldquoHe will have to deal with a lot of backlash amongst women and young people when it comes to his policies on womenrsquos healthcare pregnancy and abortion He will have to reach out to his detractors in some manner so that everyone or the majority is happy with his policies When he left after his last term there was so much hatred towards him But he has obviously gained a lot of support over the last four years I think if he is openminded to certain policies he will gain so much more loverdquoMany feel that this has been one of the most polarising US elections in a long time Polarising or not Leone lauded Harris for holding her ground and giving Trump a tough fight ldquoShe had a tough road ahead of her She put in the work trying her very best She was fighting a gigantic wall that has been put on for years I think she fought well but her campaign lacked some sort of a zing Trump has been campaigning for eight years if you really think about it and she for 110 days How can you compete with that That time frame not enough to create a strong voter baserdquo the actor emphasisedA prominent conversation on X after the elections was that the average American doesnrsquot want a female president Does Weber think itrsquos true ldquoIt hasnrsquot happened in America but it has happened in many other places It happened in Italyrdquo said Weber adding ldquoI donrsquot even vote for a party let alone gender I have voted Democrat before and I have voted Republican For me itrsquos about the candidaterdquo Leone echoed his sentiments saying ldquoAmerica is definitely ready for a female president Itrsquos about the right person the right time plus the people that are backing her up have to make it about America not about themselves The Republicans have two or three women that will be phenomenal candidates Yoursquoll see them in the years to comerdquoWhat is the most pressing issue for an average American today that the new President needs to address According to Weber it boils down to one need ldquoDoes it cost me more to put food on my table and pay my bills That is every citizenrsquos pressing issue Borders wars trade or anything are secondary the first thing is at the end of the day is it too expensive for me to feed my family send my kids to school and make my daytoday livingrdquo Leone added ldquoOver the last four years there were so much funds given to illegal immigrants That was taxpayersrsquo money I think that hurt a lot of people So I believe every country should have great immigration policies where anybody and everybody can apply to go to that country We both come from immigrant families If it wasnrsquot for those policies I wouldnrsquot be an American citizen But everything should be done at fair pay I pay taxes like every other American does Personally I donrsquot think donrsquot think itrsquos fair that illegal immigration is taking away from other US citizens the government is responsible for its citizens There should be aid given to anybody who needs it but there must be a systemrdquo
