PNM has a way of turning their misdeeds on the other parties that trying to do good.
PNM ran the country to the ground from 1956-1986. When PNM left office in 1986 Trinidad and Tobago was literally bankrupt. The NAR had to implement harsh measures to turn around the Country from total disaster. PNM cleverly used those measures to turn the people against NAR which resulted in the 1990 coup. “look that wicked evil NAR cutting your salary, cutting your COLA, making you pay VAT, they too damn wicked” was the cries of the PNM. Little did the people know that it was the massive corruption and mismanagement by the PNM which caused the hardship they were facing.
Today you see them trying that same strategy on the present government and it has worked to a certain level. I do hope Trinidadians do not make the same mistake like the past and return the FAILED PNM.
