In a weird way, Donald Trump is the most honest American president in history

I’d go a bit further, actually. He’s also honest because for as horrifying as he is, he’s only maybe 20%-30% worse than most Ameircan presidents. The key difference is that his fascism doesn’t wear a nice suits or couch itself in grace phrases. He is the American Empire caught without its costume.

Honest might not be the word, though. ‘Unpleasantly Revealing’ might be the word.

My big wish is that America doesn’t forget itself just hating the Orange One (it’s fun, I’m sure) and assumes that once he’s gone (soon) it’ll all be made better. If things go back to usual very little will be made better but it’ll all be a hell of a lot of more photogenic. Lucky us.
