Historians of the future, looking at the presidency of Mr. Donald Trump through time's telescope, will ascertain the legacy of Mr. Donald Trump. I submit that the most important and long-lasting component will be the destruction of faith in the institutions of our various governments in a significant percent of our population.
Students of the history of democracies which have failed -- past, present and in-process -- are aware that such a loss of faith in government is a common thread. Whether it presages the fall of our American democracy requires a crystal ball far clearer than mine.
Regards, stay safe 'n well.
