Ms. Wente, you are an American if I'm not mistaken.  If you don't see the Trump presidency as a huge
tragedy you have no longer the right to write about just anything.  This is not something we can
be easy on.  This is the government of the most powerful nation in the world and it's President is more
a less an idiot who really mostly listens to Steve Bannon a devotee of many fascistic writers and thinkers.
He is not simply out of an American film myth.  Bannon is for real and I'm sure he has been looking for 
a Trump for some time to use as his, and the alt-right conspirators.  Even if Trump goes, what he leaves
behind in form of vice president and cabinet isn't much better.  Bannon may be the past, but the rest
would stay.  And can the US really afford four years under Pence even.
