On the eve of the US presidential election, I simply can't understand why Trump is still seen as having any sort of a chance of winning, but it appears to be a possibility, even now. Irrespective of his policies - assuming that the disconnected word salad that issues forth whenever he opens his mouth are worthy of that honourific - he is, as far as I'm concerned, the most unsuited candidate, temperamentally, for the most powerful political office in the world that I've ever seen, almost the most unsuited I could imagine. Plenty of parallels have been drawn between Trump and Hitler during both the primary and presidential campaigns, but I've only seen one reference to a much closer likeness, to my mind - Mussolini. Trump seems to be exactly the same kind of puffed-up, preening buffoon as his Italian predecessor, but with one terrifying difference - Mussolini didn't have the world's most powerful military at his disposal. If the unthinkable happens, and the world wakes to President Trump on Wednesday morning, it might very well be a case of life imitating the words of Ford Prefect in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 'Drink up, the world's about to end'.

ReplyDeleteHi Sammy,
DeleteWell, puffed-up buffoon pretty much nails it, but it is his supporters who frighten me even more.
Ignorance is rampant.

Hello Andy
DeleteYes, I've read some very worrying things about both the kind of people who most strongly identify as Trump supporters, and what they might be prepared to do, both during and after the election. A bunch of hate filled neo-Nazis, armed to the teeth and goaded by their 'spiritual leader', running around the place doesn't bode well, to say the least.
Love & best wishes
