There was one part of me that was pleased when we pooled our ignorance in the presidential election of 2016 and voted The Donald as our president for the next four years. It was appalling of course, but I thought maybe it would be fresh (and long overdue) to have a president who was not a dreaded "politician"--I didn't think anyone could be lower in the food chain than a politician. Trump was a true threat to the worn-out two-party system. Maybe his election was a good thing. . . .
But now that I've seen the buffoon president fumble everything he's touched in his first year, I see the error of my ways. Not only has he not liberated us from the two-party system, he has managed to make old-fashioned, deal-making, knuckle-dragging, two-faced politicians in Congress look good.
Let's elect one of them president next time around.
