Sullen Admirers

Even among those I know who loathe everything he stands for Trump has sullen admirers. He's a true American character but I wouldn't call him quaint. He's the American id personified. Many families have harmless eccentrics and oddballs and lovable rogues.

But they shouldn't be running things. That's the sadness associated with Trump, sadness for the loss of ourselves, that he has no business in a political role and it's nobody's failure but ours. There's nothing harmless about Trump. He has no conscience at all.
