HOLD THE CHAMPAGNE: American Embassies in Europe Cancel Election Night Festivities, as Liberal Diplomats and Staff Anticipate a Trump Victory

We come to election day and there are signs that liberals embedded in the US state apparatus have understood how powerful the Donald Trump campaign has become, they smell a 2016 redux in the air, and they started planning accordingly.

Departing from the time-honored tradition of spending taxpayer money in the usual watch parties, Diplomats and officials read the writing on the wall and there will be silence instead, as Politico reported:

“The reason? The Trump effect. Many officials are still smarting from the shock 2016 election, when Donald Trump unexpectedly beat Hillary Clinton for the presidency — a political earthquake that left many top members of America’s diplomatic corps exposed as they absorbed the stunning election results in the presence of hundreds of journalists, foreign diplomats and officials who had been invited to election night parties.

‘I don’t think there was appetite to watch another Trump victory’, said a senior diplomat based in Europe, adding that the 2016 embassy events had been ‘calamitous’.”
