Trump is useful in the sense that he highlights a lot of things leftist thought about the Presidency but libs are too propagandized to see. There has never been a good, smart, well-mannered President who genuinely wants to lead to help everyone. They were all Trump. They were all corrupt, egotistical, murderous, self-interested, and dangerous. To the most marginalized of society, they were all Trump. Now the people who never had to look at it that way has to and they're upset. It's good that they're upset.

All US presidents are bad. Even Lincoln, even FDR, even Kennedy.
