USA is diminished and has become a burden on humanity. Our mistake we took them seriously and placed high expectation (they though presents an interesting study on complacency and arrogance). It will be difficult to contain the splatter (the disgust as the world will have to again tolerate this obnoxious narcist for next 4years, and if he dies in office the next one). World has become significantly unpredictable in such a crucial juncture. US has failed, failed very badly. Looking back I think defeat of Al Gore (who had the potential to be one of the greatest American president ever) -that was orchestrated by the system, was the turning point. They didn't find the need to rectify the flaw. It is steep downhill from here. Brace yourself. Feels like passengers on Titanic as it hit the iceberg, they couldn't believe what they thought as invincible is drowning. Imagine the consternation, and then the utter horror.
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men. (TS Eliot)
