And our political system generally. An excerpt:
"Trump's shocking rise and spectacular fall have been a singular
disaster for U.S. politics. Built up in the press as the American
Hitler, he was unmasked in the end as a pathetic little prankster who
ruined himself, his family and half of America's two-party political
system for what was probably a half-assed ego trip all along, adventure
tourism for the idiot rich."
"In the absolute best-case scenario, the one in which he loses, this is
what Trump's run accomplished. He ran as an outsider antidote to a
corrupt two-party system, and instead will leave that system more
entrenched than ever. If he goes on to lose, he will be our Bonaparte,
the monster who will continue to terrify us even in exile, reinforcing
the authority of kings."
