Trump's last four days!!

The even better thought than the headline above is that tomorrow I will be able to write "Trump's last three days". Apart from the last weeks of Richard Nixon's administration I can think of no other moment in modern US presidential history when the whole country (minus 75 million Trump supporters!!!) will be able to sigh with relief that the nightmare is over. Well, perhaps never truly over, but at least the start of a fresh era under a new and acceptable president with a potential star-quality vice president. It has been an extraordinary last four years which never actually achieved anything except division, bitterness, alarm, failure and, of course, anger. The US, and the rest of the world, deserve a bit of peace and quiet. Not that the end of Trump's reign will bring peace to the world. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that because all countries with adversarial intentions towards the US and the West will seek to exploit whatever weaknesses they discover as Biden settles into the White House. But it will be quieter, less dramatic, more conciliatory and no tub-thumping rhetoric. Trump's bizarre, risky but potentially admirable attempts at charm offensives with the big bad guys, Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin and Xi Zinping, failed to produce any positive results. The North Korea leader is now so confused by his love-in with Trump that gave him nothing he is pouring more and more money into making bigger and better nuclear weapons and wearing an emperor's military uniform that makes him look like a stuffed dummy. But a dangerous one. President Xi looks so pleased with himself whenever he appears in public that you just know he believes he has the United States under his thumb, and Putin is still very much boss in his own world and probably couldn't care less who runs America any longer. So no successes there. At all. In fact it has all gone backwards. How Biden is going to unravel it all I have no idea. So four more days of Trump. He can't do anything else to screw up Biden's hopes of improving things. Can he?
