Does he imply that Donald Trump might be the kind of man who would put the blame on his predecessor for all his failings as he tried to learn how to govern by trial-and-error? What kind of president would do such a thing?

Nobel Prize-Winning Author Wole Soyinka Throws Away Green Card, Relocates Over Trump Win
By Jessica Chasmar - December 1, 2016
Nobel Prize-winning author Wole Soyinka said Thursday that he fulfilled his promise to throw away his United States green card and relocate if Donald Trump won the presidency.
“I’ve done it,” the Nigerian author told news channel eNCA on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg, Reuters reported. “When I was ready, when I’d finished, I negotiated my departure,” he said.
Mr. Soyinka said Africans are worried that Mr. Trump could tarnish the legacy of President Obama, whose father was Kenyan. “We on the African continent could boast that we had a contemporary descendent ruling the United States,” he said. “Suddenly, somebody is making speeches which are meant to reverse those gains.”
Mr. Soyinka won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986 and has been a regular teacher at American Ivy League universities, including Harvard, Cornell and Yale.

Who cares.
Win!
Oh Wait!
Don’t go.
Things are going to get much better...well, that is, if you want to work for a living.
Yea! One down, a bagillion to go.
Come back in 2028 when Pence is done.
Another win!!
Unfortunately, this worthless turd spoke the truth saying Obola “ruled” the United States. Unfortunately the US was not set up to have a “ruler.” Maybe you and your JB friends need rulers over there in Africa, but that are an aberration here.
Excellent!
No more Route 66 in a lime green Dodge Super Bee Pal.
No more Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
No more three roll tocos with guacamole from Roberto’s on Via de la Valle in San Diago.
No more Chicago Transit Authority or Chicago Blues Festival.
No more Red Nectar Ale.
No more West Virginia speak easys.
No more Eisenhower Pass.
No more indiscrete music studios with the best players.
No more fresh Great Lakes perch fried with just a little flour and salt.
No more stupid pet tricks.
No more Monterey.
No more flying the hull of a Hobie ‘16 1977 White Knight Edition.
Hit the f’n road jack.
Mind the door-ass interface.
Or Madonna promising sexual favors in return for votes and then reneging.
Too bad more sore losers don’t emulate him.
If we lost Wole Soyinka , then we lost the war. Wait, who is Wole Soyinka? I thought the story said “Willy Wonka”...... Never mind.
I’m not terribly familiar with Soyinka’s writing, but as a general rule, the Nobel Literature prize tends to be awarded on politically correct criteria.
It helps to be from a Third World country.
On the other hand, every now and again the Nobel committee screws up and gives the award to a writer of genuine merit. Of course, it still helps to be from a Third World country.
For example, would V.S. Naipaul have gotten the prize if he wasn’t Indian/Trinidadian/British?
Oh no! I knew that was going to happen if Trump got elected. How will we cope? What shall we do?........./s
