Carry on!


As the media would have it, the Donald Trump candidacy currently seems
to be less credible. The valor of the candidates is not for me to judge.

Still, Hillary Clinton president would be the second lawyer in a row.
Which makes things a long time without oxygen. And by
some conservative estimates, the promises which she picked up
from Bernie Sanders on education and the like could well double
the American public debt by 2027. That's another 14 trillion $ US.

Which brings us to the tragic aspect of the election: for many, it is
about who they dislike or distrust the most, and not really a positive.

The post of American president was always  meant to be a heavily
symbolic one. In an age of social media, Donald Trump is not improbable.
