Meanwhile Alphabet/Google is working on getting communications back up in PR using balloons (Project Loon). There will obviously be problems if another storm heads that way but, and I realise Trump is incapable of understanding it, they are trying to do something actually useful.
Matthew Norman in the Independent argues that Trump has hated Obama from the beginning, hence birtherism, but the final straw was Obama’s address to the Press Correspondents Dinner in which he mocked Trump; and that Trump’s entire approach can be seen as trying to reverse anything Obama ever did - NK, Iran, Obamacare. It is worryingly plausible.
It is also possible that many Trump supporters voted for him because they shared his hatred of Obama.
