Because of the position he holds, this con man will have to be treated gingerly by other world leaders. On a personal level I suspect they will see him as the ignorant man-child that he is. I suppose one would have expected a backlash against Obama rule and the democratic party's obsessiveness with identity politics and a general disdain for blue collar America, but to have this obscene and infantile narcissist be the instrument of that backlash carries heavy consequences for the country and indeed the world at large. For me it is not about policy with Trump...though I disagree with him on pretty much everything. Its him. He is not fit for the office. He is the classic demagogue that appeals to the basest of our natures. To anyone who gives a single damn about democracy, this should be a time of great apprehension.
