Assessing Trump, and Getting It Right

Fiona Hill is a former official at the U.S. National Security Council specializing in Russian and European affairs, best known for her testimony in the first impeachment of Donald Trump.

The point she makes here is one of the most astounding things about Trump’s meteoric rise to become the most powerful person on Earth.  I.e., almost half of U.S. voters believe that he’s an honest and effective servant of the American people, rather than a dishonest and selfish pig whose interests do not extend a millimeter beyond his own fortunes.

As we go on, and the evidence grows that he attempted to overthrow the United States government, most of his supporters still believe that the election was stolen, and that the Deep State removed him illegally.

Simply amazing.
