"How many bad decisions does it take to put a psychopath on the throne?"
Nope, this was not said about Trump.
I watched The Hollow Crown on PBS this evening, specifically Henry VI, Part Two. There was a bit of time after the show, so PBS had about 20 minutes of the cast and crew discussing the filming of these three plays, Henry VI, Parts One and Two, and Richard III. One of the producers (or maybe the director, I didn't catch the name) said the words I quoted in this thread title.
This producer was talking about going from the high of King Henry V ("For England, Harry, and Saint George!"
and the descent to his son, the wimpy Henry VI, through the Wars of the Roses, down to the depths of Richard III (who wasn't really such a bad guy, but Shakespeare had bills to pay and a queen to placate). But isn't it amazing how those words apply to our situation today. How many (or how few!) decisions have taken us from the heights of Barack Obama in the Oval Office, to the depths of Donald Trump, shaming the office and the country. How much further down will we go?
What goes around very definitely comes around.
