E così il Donald più famoso del mondo (dopo il Big Mac) lascerà la Casa Bianca.
Il mondo occidentale è in giubilo.
Ma perché ?
Perché in Europa e in Italia così tante persone sono contente che Trump abbia perso ?
Degli ultimi sei presidenti Usa è l'unico a non aver aperto alcun conflitto militare, e in assoluto quello con il minor numero di bombe sganciate.
Dobbiamo dedurre che a molti piacciano le guerre infinite ?
La risposta è nella retorica.
Biden è un traghettatore per la prima donna presidente ma soprattutto è uno strascico della presidenza Obama, un grande talento e fenomeno di retorica.
Obama non è più candidabile, se lo fosse vincerebbe a mani basse.
Dietro quella fenomenale retorica cosa troviamo però ?... Poco.
Da Italiani è giusto analizzare le elezioni Americane per quanto riguarda la politica estera e da questo punto di vista Obama è stato in assoluto il peggior presidente USA, a pari merito forse con Jimmy Carter.
Libia, Siria, Cina, Turchia, Iran, i fallimenti Americani in politica estera sotto la guida Obama/Biden sono stati pesanti e realmente preoccupanti.
I media, completamente falciati via da Trump che ha sempre preferito Twittare direttamente al suo elettorato senza pagare dazio ai giornalisti, hanno aperto una patetica guerra nei suoi confronti screditandolo continuamente come accaduto per poche altre persone al mondo. Culmine e apoteosi di queste flagranti manifestazioni di parzialità le notizie sulle previsioni e sondaggi vari che lo hanno sempre dato, sbagliando, straperdente sia contro la Clinton che contro Biden.
Il mondo è un posto pericoloso e un proseguo del mandato Obama è una vera e propria disgrazia.
Personalmente alle bombe vere di Obama/Biden continuo a preferire i tweet bomba di Trump.
Ma evidentemente la retorica e la forma valgono i morti che sono stati risparmiati da un grezzo ma efficace agitatore di folle.
D'altra parte lo avevamo già visto con Kennedy, un presidente disastroso per l'umanità (Vietnam, Baia dei porci e Crisi di Cuba solo per nominarne alcune) ma ancora oggi venerato e amato da molti.
