Could presidential poll signal the beginning of the end for US?

NAIROBI: Choices have consequences! That’s what the US told Kenyans before the 2013 General Election, in reference to the bid by UhuRuto for presidency following their indictment by the International Criminal Court. It may just be poetic justice! The world is now telling the US that it would be a big mistake if the leading Republican candidate Donald Trump is elected to the White House. The world is already horrified by the Republicans' love for this man, whom the UK parliamentarians referred to as ‘a dangerous fool’ in January 2015 when they debated
whether to ban him from entering the UK.

After his overwhelming victory in the Super Tuesday primaries and emerging as the leading contender on the Republican ticket, the world media was swift in its condemnation. European media expressed horror. Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf called it ‘a global disaster’ citing Trump as ‘grossly unqualified’ and ‘a promoter of paranoid fantasies, a xenophobe and an ignoramus’, and the prospect of his presidency as ‘a worryingly real danger today’.
