Doom that the celebrated working democracy for over 200 years can now be destroyed by a liar and his enablers too cowardly to call him down to keep their own power. Therefore, doom to society and nature.

All I think is Mr. Trump was not vetted properly without any previously elected duties and responsibilities to attain the highest elected office in the country. He was true to his character as a TV personality and marketer of his brand. Could we expect anything more from an old man?

Can't imagine this article was written 3 years ago and the idiocy has metastasized to a planned violent insurrection of American democratic rule and a call to arms yesterday to fight for his right to misuse election funds for hush money to a porn star! You can't make this up under the aegis of an American president.

Having recently watched the movie, The Whale, about an ugly smart man desperate at the end of his miserable life to value honesty from himself and others. We can all better live with honesty not superimpositions by social media or dishonest culture in general. Honesty and morality are kin.

Another view of how someone as superficially egotistical like Mr. Trump still has admirers as a superhero and smart party representatives who don't take him down at his words even when threatening violence against his own country. Does moral conscience even exist in the internet's hyper mob mentality? I'm glad to note that my eco-fiction stories have first person narrators from Nature to give her a voice.
