Agree, Susan.

Always have thought that Trump's addiction to power, unquenchable need for attention and total inability to empathize with or serve others come from having an overpowering father and an "absent" mother. Mary Trump's first book, Too Much and Never Enough, reveals a lot about his family of origin. His wound carried into adulthood. Marrying that severe dysfunction with extraordinary power ( as in Presidency of a country) only ends in terrible, toxic tragedy--in this case not only for the pitiable anti- hero but also for all of us he has poisoned. It seems our final antidote is the law--wobbly in his case. So we may die of the poison.

Grim, I know.

I hope I am surprised by a different denouement!!!

Yes, the US will have to cope with the "long Trump" effects like "long Covid." Some will never fully recover.
