Americans google 'how do I emigrate?' as searches for 'end of the world' rise around the globe

Big deal! Some of us were thinking about it in 2014.

Lol, fair enough. At least Modi had extensive experience in government though, and didn't try to be someone he wasn't.

Trump, on the other hand, is a shady Billionaire businessman with no government experience who rails against the very same elite he is a part of. All while supporting policies that don't actually remedy the grievances of his voters.

Your point is good, in its own way, but just think about it:

1. Are any of us cold-blooded enough to want someone with the kind of government experience that was on display to become the Prime Minister of the country? Anyone noticed the widespread replication of Gujarat-like behaviour all over, but specifically in the Punjab (BJP in alliance), Haryana (BJP government), Rajasthan (BJP government), Gujarat (BJP government), Maharashtra (BJP government), Madhya Pradesh (BJP government) and Chhatisgarh (BJP government)?
2. Our problem is not that our friend is trying to be someone he isn't, or wasn't. Our problem is that he is being his own true self. That's worse.

Trump is another sicko. As I said elsewhere, we have the honour to be present to see for ourselves the transition: the hegemony of the US is now onwards the hegemony of the Chinese.

Lucky Pakistan. You zigged when you should have zigged.

Here is what I think ordinary Americans instinctively felt...

The Chump maybe 'shady' and his business dealings may have touched the ethical line, but to date, no credible evidences emerged to lead to the path that Chump committed any crime. The Democrats cannot say the same for Hillary Clinton and Wikileaks proved it.

The Chump maybe emotionally and psychologically immature for the Presidency, but he will grow into the job, as all previous Presidents have once they realized the enormity of the position. As he grows, he will be kept in check by his advisers and the various institutions of government.

On the other hand, the corruption of the Clintons have been established in many ways. Established in duration, network, breadth, and depth. What is equally important is that the corruption is highly sympathetic. By the word 'sympathetic', I mean people in positions of power and influence saw no problems considering unethical and even illegal acts in support of the Clintons. Hillary Clinton as President, in my opinion, will be worse than a Trump Presidency.

I understand what you're saying. But my point is simply that the people voted for what they desired. They wanted economic development and Hindutva. They received economic development and Hindutva.

Our problem is not that our friend is trying to be someone he isn't, or wasn't. Our problem is that he is being his own true self. That's worse.

The biggest issue I have with Donald Trump is that he is not who he claims to be. He is a Manhattan Billionaire who made most of his wealth from his father's business/money. His own business ventures often ended in failure. Despite this, he made millions in salary from these same unsuccessful businesses. He also proceeded to claim huge tax breaks from the losses he ran up. Some businessman...

Yet, this same person claims to be the champion of the working class and the downtrodden. He says that he will help them, but most of the policies he supports do exactly the opposite. If he was like Modi and was his true self, I wouldn't have as much of a problem. Democracy is democracy, and the people will vote for what they want. No matter how foolish their desires may be. But the fact that he took the votes of people who were fooled by his public persona is the real issue.

In 2014, Modi's NDA received the highest vote share in the election, and won a majority of seats in the Lok Sabha. Trump on the other hand, received fewer votes than Hillary Clinton, despite winning the election. Not to mention that he remains incredibly unpopular and had a lower favorable rating than Hillary Clinton too. Many those who voted for him, did so because he was not her, and did not actually like him. Unlike Modi, who was very popular and won on his own name (though the Gandhi family did help him a bit).

Trump is another sicko.

I, of course, agree with you. However, the issue is not merely that Trump is a "sicko", as you put it. Rather it is that he has no experience in government whatsoever. Say what you will about Modi (and there is much to say), but he ran a government that served tens of millions of people. Whatever your views might have been of the policies of his government, he was an elected public official that served in government and knows how it functions.

Trump, on the other hand, has no idea how a government functions. That's the issue. A shady businessman/former reality-TV star is about to become the next President of the United States. That's quite concerning. It's not his policies that scare me the most, it's his total lack of experience in government.

He started getting mature already with the statement against Muslims apparently disappeared from his website.

Pakistan was the country that was made to scare the most if Trump won but interestingly the analysts here are more positive so are the politicians and common people.
