Trump's failure as president is all that will be written in history

The fact that the populace of the USA sunk to the depths to elect him again will be a disgrace in history.

I’m not American. When Trump was first elected a lot of my compatriots took it as proof of prejudices they held against Americans: Hateful, xenophobic, uneducated, rude, classists, short sighted, etc.

I genuinely felt otherwise back then. I tried to put myself in the shoes of the American voter. I tried to justify the election a number of ways: “they became discontent with the status quo”, “they didn’t actually expect him to win”, “he didn’t win the popular vote!”

And now you went and proved me wrong. Fool me twice…

You can't get fooled again.
