   Hello,   
      
   >From Europe, it seems the US of A is really divided today, and I do not   
   remember when it happened last (maybe the war against Vietnam and then   
   Nixon resgination?). Even during the George W. years and the weapon of   
   mass destructions chase, the situation was better in the US internally.   
      
   It is certainly very difficult to do anything in a country so divided.   
   It also happened in UK with the almost 50/50 Brexit Referendum in 2016   
   and you could see during the last 5 years that most of UK problems were   
   actually internal problems, and still are: Gibraltar apparently   
   negociated separately with Spain now to integrate the EU Schengen Area;   
   The City did not get the agreement they wanted; Scotland has not settled   
   yet what they are going to do.   
      
   >From Europe, I fail to see any of US TV channels (be it CNN, CNBC, Fox   
   news) as `left'.   
      
   CNN is probably the most leftish news channel to the US viewers.  From a   
   Swiss perspective, I would place it on the right or center-right scale   
   for social issues, and definitely on the right for economic issues.   
      
   And there was a study published lately that shown that Switzerland   
   constantly moved to the right in the last two decades, so you see :)   
      
   Open your arm, start to see your neighbour as a friend, ponder what   
   Donald Trump really did to your country, think again!   
      
   I am sure the USA can recover from those four years.
