Fear trumping hope

Throughout the 2015-16 presidential campaign, Donald Trump hoodwinked and bamboozled voters. It’s the beginning of the end of the American empire. Nobody wins; everybody loses. Trump is on the wrong side of history. In the transformation of outgoing and incoming administrations, hope is being replaced, or trumped, by fear. Tough days lie ahead for America and the rest of the world.
