Before I was thirty-five I had spent almost a year of that life off and on in the USA, travelling across much of it. And now from afar I look on in a kind of glazed horror that something such as Trump should garner so much backing in a country I regarded with affection and admiration.
It beggars belief that such an openly narcissistic, self-serving snake oil peddler could ever be considered worthy to grace the White House, even as an unwanted guest. What on earth has happened to the Republican party - the party of Lincoln! - to follow a liar and criminal so avidly?
That the fate of the Free World should rest in the hands of a puppet of Putin's and the choice of an American electorate which even at this late stage cannot suss him out is scary, to say the least.
Was it Toni Morrison who said something along the lines of: mediocre white folk get very frightened when they see and understand the excellence of coloured people?
That's his you can believe me because I am sincere voice. It makes me gag every time I hear it
It really is nauseating…
