Trump's been gone for nine months. He didn't overthrow the government, never declared martial law, never bombed the Chinese, and left office when he was supposed to.
Trump will forever be regarded as one of the worst presidents to ever hold the office—if not
the worst. His undermining of democracy with his lies repeated and echoed over and over
before and
after the election resulted in one of the most shameful events carried out by American citizens against our system of government in its history. The reverberations from that event, and the shameless lies underpinning it, are still ongoing inside the United States and extends beyond its borders. It has encouraged every authoritarian and would be dictator across the globe. It has shaken confidence not only in the United States
and its ability to sustain the world's oldest democracy, but in democracy itself all over the world. All of this is to the great delight of the enemies and adversaries of democracy and the United States.
Trump—the narcissistic con man—is thankfully gone from office; but, he isn't gone. He's still working consistently to keep the Big Lie alive among the blind and faithful in order to inflate his own ego at the expense of democracy. The stain he's already left on this country is indelible; yet, he's still pouring on more of his personal brand of
shared psychosis to set the stain deeper into the fabric of American life.
