If world is one vast reality show, don’t let this man win

I quite liked Somsak’s charmingly naive notion that Trump would make an “exciting” president. I agree that the world needs a lot more laughs given the depressing situations in Aleppo, Mosul, Afghanistan and so on, but not at the expense of turning global politics into vulgar “infotainment”. As matters stand we’re looking into the abyss – and presumably the abyss is staring back, to borrow a phrase from Nietszche.
Oh, and one more thing: Somsak says that “Clinton is too conventional and bland a president”. Now let’s not jump the gun; there’s still a few more days to go yet.
