WAITING ON THE WHITE HOUSE

摘要

While the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the US may have shocked much of the UK public, in the US itself continued street protests demonstrate feelings that run even higher. Hanif Kara, founding director of engineer AKT Ⅱ, was in Boston in the US shortly after the vote, where he has a visiting professorship. "At Harvard, they were offering students counselling last week. The educated class there is literally in grief," he said. For many, it is easy to see why Trump's victory is such an unwelcome surprise. During his campaign, he targeted the votes of white working class Americans with what many saw as divisive smears against Mexicans and Muslims, while pledging to build a wall to keep out undesirables.
