I feel obliged to add to my previous response a clarification regarding the Trump phenomenon. What every anti-Trump person ignores or is oblivious to is that the massive support for Trump is and always has been driven by fatigue and anger at the seemingly endless depth of political corruption oozing out of D.C. Trump was the non-politician. The focus by his enemies on his character, personality, narcissism etc. was always seen by his supporters as a lame diversionary tactic in a political environment of sleaze and grift that equally (at the very least) tainted virtually all of his competition as well. Especially Biden! And the insanely hostile reaction of the political class to Trump, the outsider, has only confirmed his supporters in their conviction that the D'C. swamp will stop at NOTHING to prevent Trump from killing their golden goose. The irony is that the evidence is now overwhelming that there is no principle Trump-hating academics will not abandon, and no illegal, unconstitutional or morally repugnant activity they will not defend if Trump is on the other side. Trump is absolutely not guilty of any sin more venal than theirs. History will not be kind to them. Richard Kuyper, Boulder, CO
