I don't entirely agree with JVL's ultimate conclusion, "Trump Forever". I think Trump is a figurehead of something more sinister, which is an extreme right wing movement that not only rejects the idea of American soft power, but America's founding principles. These people believe in some serious "throne and altar" bullshit. Trump's just the means to get to their ultimate ends, and they've been successful at convincing half of the electorate to burn the whole country down.
