Trump was not elected to be president because somebody wanted a good president.
The Russians helped because they wanted to ruin America.
The Republican Establishment helped in order to get their tax cuts and judges.
The alt-right helped because they hated Obama and wanted to see liberals cry.
The evangelicals helped because they saw a chance to work towards a theocracy.
Trump was elected because he was usable. Trump knows this.
So why shouldn’t he work to benefit himself?
If Trump is abusing America, on the take, and simply amusing himself at everyone’s expense, well, . . .
Maybe it’s because that’s what everyone around him is doing these days.
Why should he be different? Why should he even try?
