I have long said that Donald Trump is a symptom, not a cause of America’s woes. In 2015 when he was starting to ramp up his campaign, everyone called him a clown. When he won, everyone called him an agitator and a threat. But Donald Trump has never been the cause of America’s problems. He is one of many direct symptoms of the sickness that has been growing in this nation for years.

Whether you think so or not, President Donald J. Trump is the perfect embodiment of America in 2020. Join me on this small moment of reflection and introspection and see the truth that has always been there.
Donald Trump is America.

He speaks without thinking with little regard to those who are listening. He uses social media too much, to the point where it is a personal detriment to himself and his cause, but he doesn’t care. He speaks with authority on things he knows nothing about and stays silent on things he has authority over. He is divisive; you either love him or hate him. There is little forgiveness in him, only a desire to win.
