The Devil may be enjoying this election season, but I am not

Both men running for US president are unfit for the job. One is a danger to the country

One of the biggest mistakes Americans would be making by electing Trump again is assuming that their country can skate by again without irreparable damage just because it survived his previous term, says the writer.

    WHEN I look at my country’s presidential contest, the first thought that comes to mind is that only the Devil himself could have designed this excruciating mess.

    Both men running for US president right now are unfit for the job: One is a good man in obvious cognitive and physical decline, and the other is a bad man who lies as he breathes, whose main platform is revenge – and who is in his own cognitive tailspin.

    But the most important difference for the country – where you really see the Devil at work – is in the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. The plain fact is that only one party in America’s two-party system is ready to defend our constitutional order anymore. The other party is interested in only gaining and holding power for the sake of it.
