His overtly racial appeal is beyond shame. His ongoing flirtation with xenophobic arsonists over immigration and his long game of footsie with the racist virgins of the alt-right (but I repeat myself) have left the country more divided than anyone could have imagined in the post-Obama era. He has done more damage to the institution of the presidency than Nixon and given the country a White House clown show with a cast of the least competent, least ethical, least sympathetic, and least appealing supporting players in any administration in memory.
