[quote=Anonymous]Oh, I’ve always thought this.  Trump is the symptom, not the disease.  In fact, it’s a gift that of all the grifter con artists that would aim for the presidency, an incompetent and unpopular person like Trump would be the person that would put that stress test on our system.

In fact, Trump has helped us discover that our country is shielded by the awesome power of the presidency only by a series of norms and the honor system.  A corrupt president can appoint an attorney general who will torpedo investigations against him, Supreme Court justices who will protect him, federal judges who will dismiss cases against him.

We should have learned this lesson in 2000 when the Supreme Court handed George W. Bush the presidency, but we didn’t.

As for the citizens who voted for him, these are people who have been failed by our education system.  They don’t know when they are being scammed and they are easily manipulated by using their fears and frustrations against them.  Our problems are very, very vast.  But I think in the end the younger generations will persevere and good will triumph.[/quote]
