Hello Qasim, Serious follower here.

I believe Trump is the greatest danger that has faced America in my life (I am 87) because unlike the danger of, say, WW II, he destroys from within. He reminds me of a cancer that attacks normal cells and turns them into disease, and he is incredibly good at it.

But, I still have some hope. (1) With control of all 3 branches of goverbment (yes, he has SCOTUS in his pocket now), and, (2) given his overweening arrogance and conceit, he will seriously overreach. I am hopeful that the pendulum of time and fate will swing back and cripple him.

He has elements of a classic Greek tragedy in which the protagonist's tragic flaw brings on his ruin. Using another analogy: "Ambition, insatiate cormorant, consumog means soon preys upon itself".

I would like to be 25 again for several reasons, but one of them would be to read what history will say of him in 50 years. I don't think he would like to read it.
