American dilemma

Trumpism may survive even after January 2021, but the Obamas and Harrisses in the US show the hopeful side of the country.

More than 78 million Americans felt a sense of relief the Saturday after the US presidential elections when news networks, including the Associated Press, called the election for Joe Biden. Biden had not only topped the popular votes by a few million but also crossed the 270 magic mark in the tally of electoral votes. Millions all over the world also rejoiced. The thinking was that it would not only be the end of attention-seeking tweets from the White House but also President Trump’s racial dog-whistles, bizarre theories and whimsical anti-immigrant, anti-women and anti-minority statements, giving America and the world some peace of mind, because an American president’s word and actions reverberate throughout the world.
