The Trump triumph

By Everald Compton - posted Saturday, 12 November 2016


I do hope that the good guys in the main parties survive as there are some standouts who are well worth keeping. No one will weep for the remainder.

I am going to plan my future in a way that will enable me to survive independently even if governments do nothing for me.

As an old guy, I intend to devote a lot of time forming partnerships with the young as the future will be based on combining wisdom with enthusiasm and tech-savvy to advance society despite whatever politicians may do to us.

We can be assured that sometime soon the political landscape will be transformed by the arrival of a new wave of Abraham Lincolns.

It could well start with Michelle Obama in 2020.
