JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: AN EDITORIAL CALLING TRUMP'S ELECTION A DARK DAY FOR THE WORLD - YES, IT IS A DARK DAY FOR SOME OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OF COURSE FOR AMERICA'S CEAUSESCU FAMILY OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE CLINTONS - BUT MOST OF THE WORLD IN FACT CAN BREATHE EASIER


COMMENT POSTED TO AN EDITORIAL IN THE GUARDIAN


Well, that might be The Guardian view, but I am afraid it is a sadly uninformed one.

Considering the overwhelming bias The Guardian has shown this last year, virtually leaving any pretense of fairness and balance and just basic journalistic principles behind, of course you are disappointed.

But your disappointment certainly does not translate into "a dark day for the world."

Anything but.

For the great mass of the American people, Trump's election means they are going to breathe some fresh air for a change.

And even more important, Trump's election means the great mass of the world's people are not going to be now thrust to the very edge of nuclear war.

His opponent was simply a bought-and-paid-for one-way trip to hell.

I just couldn't be happier.
