Yes, Pilger and others on the left, have been saying this before Trump. This is why I give it credence, not because Trump agrees. As I said Trump would be bad for the US (for 4 years, mind) but not for world peace. Clinton would be good for the US but bad for world peace.
Though CNN (Clinton News Network) support her sense of entitlement for the presidency to the hilt.

I haven't given my pennyworth on this not because it isn't poetry or Brexit but because either way I think America, and therefore everyone else, is on a cusp, but the details and speculations are beyond any oracle. I have a friend who sees it just the way David Lace sees it and i find that I do not know enough to argue with him about it. John Pilger has put forward this view for quite a while, even before Trump came on the scene. Another friend of mine (Canadian) has for ages been telling me about how untrustworthy and dangerous Clinton is, and again, I do not know enough to argue. I always thought Trump's campaign was just a joke he was principally playing with himself but then somehow he saw that his game had got quite big so why stop it - either way it points to something being very wrong with America. If those two are the only ones its political system can throw up it's not just America but the rest of us who are in trouble. Has the power hunger and hubris finally turned into decadence? Considering the state of the rest of the world this is very bad timing.
