Political and economic elites predicted a doomsday scenario when Trump was elected in 2016, but the reality of his presidency didn’t come close to matching the apocalyptic rhetoric that accompanied it.

I've often compared Trump to "the Mule" from Asimov's Foundation series. A wildly improbable figure who threw the course of events off of the predictable path. I've also often referred to the path we're now on as "The Dumbest" timeline.

Whatever anyone thinks about the man himself, the Trump phenomenon clearly defines this period of American history.
