PL executive member Jason Micallef has praised Donald Trump’s predicted election victory and said his return to the White House has lessons for Maltese politics too.

“What a comeback! Donald Trump’s victory is a big lesson to those politicians who lack moral fibre, bully organisation and groups, and elitists. Above all it is a lesson to those in charge of legacy media, which are full of agendas and think they can scare people.”

“Through their vote, the American people told them ‘you may make a lot of noise but you are no longer credible and you don’t impress us’.”

Micallef said he would like to see former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat stage a similar political comeback in Malta and pledged to support him if he decides to do so.

“These lessons also apply to what is going on in our country, as we don’t live in a bubble,” he said.

“That’s why my friends and I never shied away from supporting and defending Joseph Muscat and his family more than ever before in the past two years. And if Joseph Muscat decides to return to politics as he has every right to do, I will be the first to support him. I am convinced he will find huge support if he decides to go down that route.”
