This is not accidental. The whole point of Trump is that he is, in professional wrestling terms, the heel.

Everything he does is designed to offend thoughtful, decent human beings and keep us in a constant state of outrage — absolutely justified outrage, to be sure, but it’s very wearing on our psyches.

It’s appalling that while our entire planet faces an unprecedented systemic threat from climate change and the ongoing ecocide, we are wasting our time on imaginary threats yet again, because yet again an incoherent and delusional psychopath is the leader of the most powerful country in the world.
