I pity Americans, for they are fast becoming a lot like our people

Do you remember that ugly word, Schadenfreude?
Well, forget it for now , because I suspect you might want to apply it to the people who happen to have clueless Donald Trump as their commander-in-chief in these most trying times.

Let’s face it, it is only a rotten electoral calculus that made the Americans choose probably the most dangerous head of state in their history, and that should not make anybody happy just because many Americans are miserable, which is what that hideous German word suggests.
