Reciprocity:

I’m guessing that it’s too much to expect anyone in this thread to acknowledge the huge mistake that was made here?

No - I'll acknowledge it.

There's also a huge and growing issue of how Trump & accomplices are "gaslighting" the US public, distracting them with and endless series of manufactured (or at least out of proportion) scandals which dilute the impact of real scandals and confuse the public.  Worse, issues like "tough on immigration" are populist vote-winners - look across the Tasman. Meanwhile, Trump continues to abuse his position of power.

To quote from a recent article in The Atlantic:

There is one Trump scandal. Singular: the corruption of the American government by the president and his associates, who are using their official power for personal and financial gain rather than for the welfare of the American people, and their attempts to shield that corruption from political consequences, public scrutiny, or legal accountability.

That should be enough to consign Trump and his crooked empire to the dustbin of history where he belongs.
