I just got off a conference call with India. [View all]

It was a technical conversation, but our Indian colleagues ended the meeting by saying that they, and the whole world, is waiting to celebrate the end of Trump.

They hear the same thing from all their international contacts outside of India and the US.

The whole world wants it to be official.
