Eh that is just general rot, Trumps brand is a more acute rot.

He is brazenly corrupt and petulant in foreign policy in a way we haven’t seen before.

Oh, definitely (although I'd say Bush's WMD lies regarding Iraq come pretty damn close).

But my point was... when the entire foundation and basement are rotting, eventually there will be pests exploiting that. If it wasn't Trump, the Tea Party and rabid Evangelical crowd would most likely have found another puppet.
