Francis Goffard The head of the American Literary Festival Institute and the director of the book series “America’s Land” in Albin Michel Publishing, also said about the election of Donald Trump, this is another evidence of a new and vast country, with a conflicting history, of which Donald Trump is only the latest example.

Nothing has changed since then: the animal has become fatter, more seductive and uglier; The same thing that often happens to pigs that are not sent to the slaughterhouse. Deep down, this master liar, this wizard of insults and this shameless vagabond is still an attraction worthy of Vegas, a whale with no superego left and like steam from a train hitting a wall…

Penelope Baggio The author also shared his anger and shared a series of reactions, one of which was an image by British artist Cornelia Parker with the title “Horror! Panic!” and published the Statue of Liberty while trembling with fear and with round eyes.
