I’m not dooming and glooming but I don’t think good precedents will come out of this presidency. If anything it has become a litmus test of our democratic institutions in the era of “Fake News” and “alternative facts”, and mob boss leadership. I hope we come out better on the other side.
I gotta say, I was skeptical of a Trump presidency at first, but when I look at in retrospect so far, things aren’t really all that bad, if you ignore all the media circus around Trump’s character flaws and the stupid election conspiracies, which in the grand scheme don’t matter.
Trump is a random chaotic president, and when his presidency is done the effects of his presidency will linger and new precedents will have been set, some good and some bad, but I think the good will outweigh the bad in more important ways. He is the mutation in the status quo’s DNA.
