America has voted and in it's wisdom it has gone for Donald Trump 2.0 so credit for them for not letting him being a sex abusing racist with a criminal record and a long history of lying to them put them off and it would be amusing to see them slide into a dictatorship if it didn't potentially have such profound knock-on effects for the rest of the World.
Most pressing is his bewildering refusal to accept Climate Change which punished America so harshly recently so we can expect him to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord and undo Biden's environmental commitments which have been put in place to reverse or halt the climate crisis.
Every table top in the Kremlin must be straining under the weight of all that dancing on them because he is likely to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war which will be totally on Moscow's terms with Russia keeping the land it has taken and Israel will be given a free reign to commit all the genocide it likes in Palestine and give them the green light to clear the way for their settlers to push out the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and annex it as well as attack Iran and risk an even wider Middle Eastern war.
A failed businessman with five bankruptcies to his name, his economic plans appears to include tariffs on everyone with China due to be the recipient of the highest which experts are saying will cause considerable turmoil in the global economy and possibly hurt America more than those they are imposed upon.
Leaching his poison out of his countries borders is one thing and as for what he does in America i have no concern although a man described by dozens of people who worked with him previously as a fascist and without the 'grown ups' to reign him in this time, replaced by people more aligned to his agenda, it won't be good for them.
Already there is talk that his plans include removing fluoride from drinking water and appointing anti-vaccine advocate, Robert F Kennedy, to a role in his Administration and has said he open to the Kennedy plan of banning vaccines which he compared to 'Nazi rules'.
Half of American voters have opted for a man who refused to accept election defeat four years ago, used lies and dirty tricks to try and undermine its result and stood idly by while an angry mob ransacked the house of the American government so it isn't going to end well for America or possibly for him as there have been two assassination attempts on him already.
Still, it's their bed and it's them who have to lay in it but the rest of us we can only hope that his weirdness and lunacy doesn't ooze out too far beyond its borders.
