Everyone is waiting for Biden except for Trump

In this intervening time between Trump and Biden I think it's safe to say that everyone, and I mean everyone except Trump, is waiting fingers-crossed for when the new president takes over. But in the meantime there are crises that will have to stay in the hands of Donald Trump: the coronavirus pandemic which is getting worse and worse in the US, Iran, hot for revenge against the state responsible for killing their chief nuclear scientist (Israel is on their mind), China, ever watchful for an edge, North Korea, maybe plotting some sort of spectacular test to prove Kim Jong-un is still around and feeling powerful, Isis which is supposed to be defeated but still seems to be increasing in menace once again, and Afghanistan where the Taliban are feeling happier than ever with the planned withdrawal of US troops down to just 2,500 in January. With just over seven weeks to go before Trump exits and Biden takes over that'a a helluva lot of issues to get right and sorted. The world is waiting for Biden, sure, but the world doesn't stop for Biden. In fact, as the killers of Iran's nuclear chief demonstrated, this so-called lame-duck period between US presidents is ripe for exploiting. Between now and January 20 I fear there are going to be a lot of unexpected and worrying developments. Not just because of the changeover of presidents but because the one leaving the White House is Donald Trump.
