Anthony Schwartz, tRump's ghost writer for "The Art of the Deal" and Timothy O'Brien, author of "Trump Nation: The Art of Being the Donald" both described tRump as a yawning black hole of neediness who could never be satisfied. They both said that what we saw on screen was all there was to see of Donald. There were no hidden depths. He is pathetic as well as pathological. That does not alter the fact that he has committed crimes his entire adult life and has never been held accountable.

So it's unanimous. I don't pity him. If he were a private individual, who had made no one suffer but himself, then I would pity him. But with the power of the presidency, his pathologies made him a monster. I hope he goes to prison and spends the rest of his pathetic life there. It is essential that he be held fully accountable, otherwise the next round of Republicans will figure they can do all the same things only smarter, aiming to actually complete the coup and create an authoritarian White nationalist phony-religious state.
