The end of Donald Trump
I’ve been looking forward to writing this one for awhile. Today is Donald Trump’s last full day in office. Tomorrow morning he gets on a plane, heads down to Florida, and tries to play as much golf as he can before the criminal indictments and asset seizures rip every bit of his life to pieces.
We did it. We survived it. Well, not all of us. Not Heather Heyer. Not Officer Brian Sicknick. Not any of the people that Trump and Bill Barr carried out the death penalty against this past month. Not the immigrants who died in cages. And certainly not the 400,000 Americans and counting who have needlessly died in the pandemic.
The losses we’ve accrued during these four years have been staggering. The loss of human life is the most devastating. But the economy is also in tatters. America’s reputation, standing, and influence around the world are at a generations-long low. The office of President of the United States is tarnished in ways we wouldn’t have thought possible.
And yet I did warn you from day one that Donald Trump would wage war against America, and that in war the losses are unacceptable for both sides, and that the winner is the side that’s still standing when the other side has fallen. Trump has fallen, and America is still standing. It’s the end of Trump, and he’s about to lose everything. Now we rebuild with the right leader at the right time in President Biden.
