I can’t begin to get angry at Trump when I look at our local idiots doing silly in Addis

If you live in Africa, you will often feel like you are spoilt for choice among objects that clamour for your anger. You wonder whether you should be railing at the crudeness of a Trump or the silliness of a summit of African rulers.

Trump is busy brutalising his own people and the rest of the world with his caveman antics, demonstrating how hollow the much vaunted American democracy can be made to be, and at the same time our African chiefs meet in Addis Ababa to do silly.
