The Endgame of Donald Trump

The "laws of America" are closing in on the Donald. So long a crooked pseudo-businessman in the NYC area, and then by brand extension,the world -- Trump's crooked, inhumane, worldly, shallow and sometime "stupid" ways of working  have begun to "chew on his wide behind." Yes, karma is a wonderful thing.

Now Trump is trapped in a situation in which he can't just declare bankruptcy and then move on to the next venture. There is a reckoning to pay in spite of what my elder brother-in-law might say.
Trump will lose the presidency; Trump will (and already has) lose control of the Republican party; Trump may even spend time in jail. He will certainly suffer for his sins -- even reaching a level of embarrassment that might penetrate his simplistic arrogance. Power does insulate Trump; but it does not excuse him. Nor does his obvious ignorance.

Seeing everything in the guise of Trump's brand (which tried to be "elegant" and turned out to be "slimy"); or Trump's inexperience in government -- no longer make things right. Trump is a 'leper" among believers in democracy; a pariah among believers in simple decency; a devil among people who actually believe in truth, even relative truth.
