I certainly didn't expect Trump to win. Unfortunately he was able to persuade white Americans and even Latinos and Muslims to vote for him. He's a convicted person who (in a civilized country) wouldn't have been allowed to contest elections. But he played the religious card as well, convincing fundamentalists that their religion was in danger. Fifty seven percent of white American men and fifty two percent of white American women voted for him, despite his previous misdeeds, especially his harassment of women. It's strange that such a person has been elected to lead the only superpower on the planet.
We can expect the worst to happen in the coming months. His promise to impose duties on all imports will lead to inflation throughout the world. If he deports Latinos and Muslims, wages will rise which again will result in massive inflation. And those Muslims who thought he would end the genocide in Gaza are in for a surprise. The first two world leaders who congratulated him after his victory were both Muslim killers (Netanyahoo and Modi). The man is convinced that there is no such thing as global warming, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. This man could well go to war against China. Let's hope he doesn't use nuclear weapons.
