Just guessing, but I’d say it’s approximately “red, white and blue is greater than orange.”

For people looking for a more nuanced opinion of what a Trump presidency means, check out Yale constitutional law prof, Jack Balkan’s blog Balkinization. He’s got a theory that Trump means the end of reaganism and will likely precipitate a GOP implosion similar to the body blow the democrats took as result of the Carter presidency.

There is also an absolute evisceration (in the most dry academic way) of Trump’s legal arguments regarding the emolument clause.

JB’s blog is the best, and definitely the most dense, source of critical analysis of Trump from a constitutional perspective that I have been able to find.
