This is a man hellbent on revenge and power and he is capable of wielding revenge because, in America, what was once BS over the back fence is now amplified a million times on X and right-wing radio, TV and internet. We have a cult of 70 million people in this country, programmed to disbelieve what is before their eyes and to modify the thing they see - like for instance Trump playing golf - into something heroic and classy.

It does feel like we are living history more than any other time in my life, including assassinations, wars and terrorism. This feels like the thing that will lead the chapter of America's decline and demise 20 years from now in schools in Canada and Mexico, two democracies that are walled off from their former friend, the United States of Trump.
