We deserve Donald Trump. By “we” I mean the entire class of political and cultural elites in this country who scoffed at Trump and wrote him off from the moment he descended that gilded escalator back in June 2015. Trump’s stunning, poll-defying upset over Hillary Clinton was a short-fingered smack in the face to many people, including many on the right, who had it coming, big league.
Maybe Trump will be a disaster as president and all his critics will be proven right. Of course, their track record on Trump predictions is rather poor, so maybe he’ll continue to prove them wrong. In the meantime, it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate the magnitude of the comeuppance he has inflicted.
