You said (emphasis mine): "one of the most important and surprising events of our time"

I tend to interpret "our time" as a period that is a bit longer than the last six months.

But even if you want to look at recent news, here are three things which I consider to be much more consequential than Donald Trump: (1) the European refugee crisis; (2) the Chinese economic troubles; (3) the Russian direct military intervention in Syria.

May I politely suggest paying less attention to the idiot box?
