Literally nobody should be surprised.

And yet Bernie is blaming Dems for not being able to appeal to voters who voted for Trump anyway?

True but it is still good that news organizations are calling BS on Tangerine

YES! Thank you! This shit show should not be a surprise. Nor should ANYTHING else that comes off the rails. He told us.

I agree - all the traits were on public display; shows how much some people want to believe a fantasy

speaking as an expat, americans have a kind of... blind-ish optimism? I think it's to do with that "american dream" ideology.

You're not wrong. I knew he would win, just did not know why Americans would nit see past his ignorance & arrogance. Immutable combination.

He's shown us 4 years who he is. Can't/won't change @ 70. Horrified but not surprised.

He lurched into office reeking of narcissism, corruption and deceit. As Jesus would have said, let those with noses to smell, smell.

They tried a failed play from 1968 and ironically the only people who bought in were those who were adults at that time.

It is becoming very difficult to say "I told you so" to Trump sycophants

amen

Thanks for making me take a closer look. My POV: his candidacy showed him clearly. He is all he showed then. This op-ed agrees no kidding

I agree with you. It's strong but does not (or should not) contain any surprises to anyone.
