Good point but I disagree. No future president will regard anything trump does as learning material. Trump is a cheap, crazy crook and if we ever have another one like him we will have failed as a country

That Trump is mentally ill is highly probable. He engages in criminal behavior, and constantly engages in lies and deception. Trump wants to be an authoritarian and emulates the management style of Dictators. Trifle with Trump at great risk.
