I think in a sense you`re right in that both a large segment of the us populace and indeed the world greatly underestimated the sheer number of mainstream us voters who subscribed to the ideals of racism and intolerance,and of course when you add that to the appeal that rabid jingoism has always had to a large swath of the us populace then you have a very toxic brew indeed and of course a recipe for disaster ie a trump presidency.Hopefully this odious buffoon and his evil henchmen[yes john bolton I`m talking about you] will last only a term,but then again bush jr managed to get reelected so one should never underestimate the stupidity of the voter,especially if they are american.Regardless even if it is just a single term[please god!]I suspect that the us will still be working long and hard even decades from now to try and repair all the huge damage that trump has done,and no doubt will continue to do to americas reputation and relationships around the world and at home.
