Many of us would like you to be right about that.

However, the people of the USA voted for Trump. Twice.

I fear things have changed and Trump'ism is here to stay.

The first time they got Trump lite. They didn't like him, and ditched him after one term.

The next president has the misfortune to get elected during a worldwide recession. They liked the recession even less than they liked Trump lite. So they re-elected Trump lite.

But they've now found the person they re-elected was Trump heavy. He's doubled down on all the things they disliked about Trump lite, and will probably land them in a recession entirely of his own making.

I'd be stunned if Trump heavy or anybody following in his footsteps won an election for a decade or two. Memories will have to fade.
