We knew what he was when he was elected. He's been a public figure since the 80s, decades of dirtbag, he's always been vile. There's no one who represents the USA "executive class" better than Trump.
He was the man America celebrated for over 40 years, with best-selling ghostwritten books, talk show circuit, front page news, cover of GQ and Playboy, prime-time WWF wrestling star, blockbuster film cameo, popular major network show, and so on.
He is America's Monster ^(tm)^, all of our worst traits combined into one abomination. The perfect President for a long-corrupt and decaying empire.
America never celebrated him. He was only ever a punchline, always.
The only people actually in awe of him were likely the human garbage that lives on Staten Island - because as has always been said, "donald trump is a stupid/poor person's idea of a rich/smart person" Including the majority of his life lived in rotting, moldy fake boardrooms where he serially bankrupted terrible businesses while committing crimes and taking money from the mafia/russia.
He is the personification of every narcissist's most evil, broken outbursts.
And I have zero doubt he paid or influenced his way into media references. It hurt me hard when in an episode of Quantum Leap, where Sam is literally putting his own life on the line to put right what once went wrong and he inadvertently "encourages" the kid who would become pedo-king fascist
If end stage capitalism was a person in other words.
I wouldn't even give him that credit. Capitalism at least extracts value from things with the damage it does.
Extracts value for himself.
