Just my brief thoughts:

The OP may not have the tone that our more conservative members prefer, but frankly its author clearly put a lot of time and effort into writing it, which is more than one can say for his critics who have generally written a single sentence or two in reply.

Personally, I think the OP is, if anything, too generous and polite to Mr. Trump. I get that we're supposed to be all cool and no drama and everything like everything is fine and this happens every day and that that entails casually dismissing and endless stream of genuine horrors as if they don't matter and don't destroy the lives of real people (to say nothing of the very planet we live on), but the truth of the matter is that I will be happy if we manage to get out of this period without starting World War 3. That's how low the current president's "election" has set the bar for me and a good summation of my opinion of the last 100 years. (I mean days, DAYS! It just SEEMS like it's been a hundred years!) When you "elect" a billionaire self-confessed rapist who appears to have committed treason to get elected, what do you expect? A quality tenure?
