The short answer certainly is none of the above! Although a better case can be made for China under its ruthless dictator Chi. Putin’s Coronavirus surge and the ones Kim no doubt wants us not to know will augment my contention.
However, as we go forward, what would our present world look like under another 4 years of Trump?
Apparently, the Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Page Editors and most of its opinion writers think that things would be just dandy.
A lot of Republicans do not. This Max Boot column in the 10/29/30 Washington Post makes many of the key reasons.
Opinion: I’m not just voting against Trump — I’m voting for Biden, writes @MaxBoot.
Here are eight reasons. https://t.co/XpUQxBKWZ9

Others happy about more 4 years these Trumpers are doubtless many of the multiple billionaires who now control the Republican Party! Or what is left of the Party.
Wonder how Trump’s closely packed, largely unmasked audiences on his manic campaign romps will feel in another month as the infections and deaths from their attendance continue to soar, regardless of who wins on November 3rd—or whenever the results can be determined.
Trump’s legacy after 4 more years is too ghastly to contemplate, but if he is defeated what does Biden need to do?
First, it’s hard to imagine but if Trump gets 4 more, the present governmental gridlock with at least the US House of Representatives will ensure that Trump’s Era of hate and division will keep going strong.
Would the House find grounds for bringing another impeachment?
President Ford pardoned Nixon. Would Trump, if not re-elected realize his pending post Presidency liabilities and resign after ensuring that Pence would pardon him? Would he trust Pence to keep his word?
You may recall my October 8, 2020 piece which you can read again here.
Can Trump be sued after he leaves the White House? https://t.co/nPYuBHBrJO via @ChurchAndStateN

I pray Biden if he wins will be too bright to waste any Green Stamps pursuing this vicious miscreant as the cleanup tasks Biden faces will be enormous.
Just a few examples:
Restoring faith in our traditional allies around the world.
Taking meaningful steps to save our environment.
Making sure our voting process is fair and uniform.
Restoring the sane and secure operation of our precious Government departments.
Figuring out how to save the health care for 20 plus million poor Americans who will lose their care under the Affordable Care Act. And those of us who have existing pre-conditions, we will not find Trump’s wonderful promises of a health care plan very helpful.
There will be many more for a Biden Administration to fix!!
Pray hard for the right result next Wednesday or whenever the count can be completed.
