- “Welcome” by Poul Anderson, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, October 1960.
Tom Barlow, the world’s first time traveler, receives a welcome from Earth’s rulers 500 years in the future.
Tom departed from the late twentieth century because of its unpleasant political climate, but the description of Barlow’s orginal time reads more as if Anderson got a peek at 2016 Donald Trump.

Disgust would be the simplest word.
