As low as my expectations were, he's managed to achieve a level of incompetence and embarrassment well beyond those expectations. Even at the time, I couldn't comprehend how a reasonably intelligent person could talk themselves into thinking that making him President was a good idea, but... wow. This is some "next level" stuff in all the worst ways.
At this point, my main consolation is that between his blatantly open corruption and how completely broken the Republican Party is, they may end up simply not managing to DO anything of substance that can't be undone in another couple years. Or undo anything that can't be redone, as the case may be. One thing to be said about the power-hungry is that they have a tendency to self-sabotage, especially when brought together in large numbers.
