Come to think if it, Trump has presented to the world the precisely contrary message to what we presented in 2008. Then, by electing an African-American President, we showed the world tremendous growth in overcoming a history of slavery and racism. Admittedly, the optimism of 2008 gave way to the gritty reality of obstructionism - some of which was based on racial attitudes. And the hope of a transformational presidency wasn't fulfilled. So maybe a Trump presidency wouldn't be Armageddon. The extremes of hope and despair don't always bear out. But a Trump presidency wouldn't be good.
