Right now, as the truth dawns (the majority American peoples’ truth) it’s like a funeral in the Republican camp but God willing, the post-Trump era will only begin on the 21st of January 2021.

In Stockholm, Candle lighting is at 15.24…

How are the Mighty Fallen! 

As Jimmy Cliff sang, “The harder they come the harder they fall!

 Of course, it's not over until the Fat Lady sings!

Once a winner is declared it will be well nigh impossible to overturn that announcement.

About this mother of all Presidential elections, whether it’s Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden or Donald J. Trump, it will always be “Georgia on My Mind

Whether you are a High Church Anglican ( like T.S. Eliot) or a Holy Roman Catholic like Joseph Ratzinger who later on became Benedictus Erectus, and whether you are a self-confessed lapsed Catholic like pro-abortion Joe Biden or a good and faithful Catholic like Nancy Pelosi who hopefully is still praying fervently for President Trump “every day” or indeed if you are Donald J. Trump himself who was confirmed in 1959 at the First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens (you do remember him (fake holier-than-thou) holding up the Holy Bible for the photo op outside the St. John’s Episcopal Church on Pennsylvania Avenue ?) - well, as my very first guru Fritz Perls put it, To suffer one's death and to be reborn is not easy” and it is evidently even more painful to stand for re-election and be beaten, knocked out in the first round by Sleepy Joe Biden.

Metaphorically speaking, such a beating is akin to suffering one’s own death and reading one's own obituary in The New York Times a day later. Being born again after leaving the White House is no easy task. The greater the presidential ego, the more painful the death pangs, especially when being born again has to be preceded by soul searching and repentance. In Trump’s case it has to begin with “Where did I go wrong?”

 I’ll try to answer that question, briefly.

In the last four years, President Trump, great friend of Israel inadvertently made many enemies, sometimes unnecessarily. Some of the friends he fired became his personal enemies. Far too many such people have been working against him - people like Mad Dog Mathis, Rex Tillerson, John Bolton, his former fixer Michael Cohen. John McCain's ghost was back there to haunt Trump in Arizona, not to mention some people in some of the domestic and foreign intelligence agencies, quite capable of surreptitiously doing Trump great harm, even colluding with some massive electoral fraud (rigging) to get even  

Add moneybags like Mike Bloomberg to the myths and conspiracy theories swirling around George Soros.

But "the invisible enemy" turned out to be Trump’s greatest enemy. One should never underestimate one’s enemy/enemies. There is an Islamic saying that if you have an enemy in the town where you live (just one) then it’s time to leave that town.

An eye-opener on the USA as a truly polarised nation: 

2020: How the various groups voted in the presidential elections

Truly or falsely fake and fiction, it was almost universally acknowledged among people of colour outside of the United States that Trump was synonymous with racism and White Aryan Supremacy, especially after Trump said that there were “fine people” on the opposing sides that clashed at Charlottesville, and because he failed to condemn police brutality in no uncertain terms, that did not endear him to people who daily identify with the victims of police brutality.

When it comes to identity politics there are certain insights that also apply to the African-American nation that has its own unique history that’s somewhat different from the residual colonial products that are so polemically explained in Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks.

Once Nancy Pelosi (now a spent force) is relieved of her status as speaker, Kamala Harris is all poised to step into the shoes of Sleepy Joe Biden should it come to pass that she will be weeping copiously in the eventuality that Slow Joe should R.I.P. after someone e.g. poisons his coffee.
