Let me begin at the end: Donald Trump is not the problem. He was never the problem. He was never a politician nor a public representative. 

He never had any policies or values, or vision. He never sold himself as anything other than what he really is: An amphetamine. An opioid for the masses. A sugar rush. A cheap alternative to the hard thing. Creatine. A one-night stand that was only ever going to land you in an STI clinic.
