It’s one of those days when, as a blogger, I feel obliged to pass comment on something that everyone remotely interested is aware of. Trump’s conviction was as inevitable as the Titanic hitting the iceberg, or brexit obliterating the UK economy: something which every intelligent person knew would happen has happened. The only worrying thing is, where this will take America culturally: we know that it is already a frighteningly divided nation, and it only remains to be seen how the MAGA fanatics, for whom Trump can do no wrong, will react.
