The Trump Experience

Trump's name and reputation are so tarnished that he will be an object lesson taught for years and years about what NOT to say and do. He will go down in history as worse than Richard Nixon. Trump will be ridiculed by commedians and cartoonists. Civics classes will teach how his ideas and "policies" were hateful and unconstitutional, not to mention ridiculous. Speech classes and debating clubs will show video clips of his meltdowns and rantings. Boy scout troups and boys sports teams will get lectures on how to treat girls with respect. College political science classes will teach what happens when cowards and opportunists stand by silently and let their party crash and burn. And PolySci classes will also teach about incompetent campaigns with no ground game. Movies will be made about how his hubris and shady eals brought down his business empire. History will not be kind to Donald Trump. Sermons will be preached about wicked lies and how to redeem one's honor. He will be lumped with losers like Father Coughlin, Roy Cohn, Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Joe McCathy. Psychology master thesis will be written about narcissism and ego-maniacs. Ethics classes will give lectures on personal integrity.

Right now, things may look dark and scarey. But I believe that a lot of positive good can come out of the Trump experience. We just have to stay calm and present, and be willing to use all of it for the good. There's quite a lot to use.
