    This is unfortunately to be expected.

    I will add that Trump is a mere symptom, the cause is US society (ignoring this benefits no one, even the Americans).

        I am sorry, but I strongly disagree.

        It is a fact that 1/3 of the US voted for him (after seeing what he is like), another third doesn’t care (so they have a measure of responsibility too) and the final third might not have voted for Trump, but a large portion of them are simply too well off (and therefore risk averse) to have addressed the causes of Trump’s rise; broad tolerance of corruption and criminality in US society.

        I didn’t say every single American supports Trump or that they voted for him.

        That being said, I don’t believe Trump is a magician and that Americans are idiots, who got enamoured by his powerful rhetoric.
