Revamping the Cracked Democracy
From Trump Over to Biden.
Donald Trump’s antipathy towards normalcy and good in general is known to all of us. Him not acknowledging defeat wasn’t hard to reckon. What wasn’t that straightforward and predictable was the solidarity shown by republican leaders in pampering the spoiled child-in-chief; not even the best of us saw it coming.
While Donald Trump beats his brains out to win a defeated battle, Joe Biden has already been congratulated on his ‘not so impressive’ win by most world leaders. Messages have come from all over the world — from the happiest bunch comprising of Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, and Angela Merkel to the ‘unhappy gang’ that includes Putin( he has not congratulated Biden yet, he may never do it in the future also), Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, Boris Johnson, Bolsonaro and King Salman. In between lies the satisfactory cluster, which consists of Iran, Mexico (though no congratulatory message is yet received from the nation), and South Korea. Then there is the neutral group that covers India and Israel.
