Evolution of grift in the system - Trump is nothing but the scum de la scum of the grifter set. He is the nadir of a whole set of scum who came before him and who still rot the system and who are helping creating the next generation of contagion.

I am fearful that Trump is both Emperors Commodus and Domitian, ineffective, cruel, paranoid and self-obsessed. Both of these Emperors were keystones in the eventual demise and Fall of the Roman Empire. How sad if the new normal from the pandemic also means such a low bar in leadership.
