For the Benefit of Mr. Trump

If he had been elected in 2020 we'd be done with him now.  I'm just sayin', because there is a certain irony to it because of how exercised his opponents are getting again, about a Plague O'er The Earth about to descend and all that.*

There used to be a sign on an apartment complex near the Mass Pike just outside of Boston years ago that said "If you lived here you'd be home now," and my first thought was Well, yeah, but this place sucks, so why would I want to live here? However, I did take the point, and later learned that if you are stuck in traffic often the idea looks more appealing.

* Which reminds me of the phrase that Eugene Volokh tracked down fifteen years ago "The dark night of fascism is always descending on the United States, yet lands only in Europe." Great story behind that. Tom Wolfe, Gunter Grass, and Jean-Francoise Revel.
