State stigmatisation of a minority group, blaming them for the country’s economic woes is Germany 1938. When the inevitable anti-Somali kristalnacht event explodes, we’ll know who to blame.

Trump has subverted the principle that there should be at least a basis of truth in politics. Sycophants like this guy think they can spew nonsense and lies with absolutely no comeback. Trump showed them how to do it: never ever admit you’re wrong.

Trump’s comments are disgusting; they shame all who supported him and fail now to distance themselves. But turning our back on the USA completely would be an error. And we need to remember that any Western democracy, including ours, can potentially succumb to the same base popularism.

We translate books because reading, writing, creating, sharing with others, bridging cultures and communicating are human activities that give us a reason to live. Take the human element out, and what even is the point? Why do it if humans are not enjoying the process or the product?

Think through? Your government’s policy agenda is being run on the basis of whatever absurd whim pops into Trump’s head. No one knows what he’s going to say before he says it - including him.

Yes it can. But it was also America’s proudly democratic system which produced a dictatorial and authoritarian regime at home. Few people round the world see America as a beacon now.
