Entry Description

Distorted TV images of the 1st presidential debate I was watching in Australia, (caused by wind moving the antenna) epitomise the overbearing and interruptive style of Trump. These images are unique despite being transmitted globally as the resulting pixelated and blurred image was in itself unique to this moment in time and this television. At this stage it was assumed Clinton would win, with these images now showing an unexpected prescience.
