LONDON -- On Nov. 9,Indonesia Archives 1989, the world saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, marking the beginning of the end of the Cold War era.
Twenty-seven years later to the day, the world woke up to discover that a man whose campaign centred on promises of a new wall had been elected to the office of the presidency -- in a nation that had been instrumental in bringing the one in Berlin down.

The irony of his controversial pledge coupled with the historical significance of the date of his election has not been lost on Twitter:

The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolized the end of an economically and socially divided Europe heralding a period of enormous growth, but 27 years later, have we reaped what we have sown?
The reality of globalization, for all its benefits, has simultaneously ushered in a world where anti-immigration sentiment and protectionist tendencies have been increasingly mainstreamed, evidenced by the appeal of populist politicians like Trump.
Crashing markets indicate global unease at what a Trump presidency will mean in terms of America's future relationship with Mexico, Europe, and the rest of the world. Whether Trump follows through on his promise to construct a physical structure or instead opts for a policy design that isolates the U.S. from the world, post-Cold War euphoria has long since subsided and people are thirsting for change.
Where to next? Like it or not, it will be a President Trump that leads the way.
