America Shat Its Pants & Is Revelling In It

When America elected Donald Trump as president in 2016 it was, I think, akin to the country shitting its pants. The chaos that resulted from the Trump presidency was embarrassing for the world’s superpower. Trump was a loose cannon with diarrhoea putting institutions and people at risk minute by minute. No one could work with him and the sackings were matched by the quitting of staff and appointees. The dysfunction was everywhere to be seen and things stank to high heaven. 8 years later and it is like America shat its pants and is revelling in it now or the idea of returning to that parlous state anyway. The standards of decency have come down so far among the half of the country supporting a Trump 2.0 they must be enjoying the feel of the filth in their underdaks.
