Imagine

I was resting this morning as the majority of the night in was staying awake to watch the American election, which, surprisingly or not, Donald Trump is the new president of the United States of America as he wins in over 270 States. It is quite different their election compared with our election here in Europe, but maybe in a future story, I will try to explain how their voting system is working.
