Trump is a small man. I mean, he's small in mind, small in action, small in how he conducts himself publicly.
Yet, he casts a giant shadow over the country right now. It is my personal opinion that this country - which is still the world's leading superpower and had about 340 million people and incredible diversity - has become smaller in a very real sense as a result of Trump.
Until we get past this pathetic man, we will continue to diminish. Our world standing has diminished, our future prospects have diminished, and our standing as a unified nation has fallen since the political rise of Trump. Frankly, I don't believe that any of this is even arguable to anyone with knowledge and serious objectivity.
George Conway (formerly the husband of Kelly Ann Conway, a prominent member of Trump's 2016 campaign) once described Trump as a joke which had gone too far. I agree, but it feels also like a joke which the country is playing on itself. He is obviously unqualified, yet in large part, it is the mythology surrounding Trump which his supporters latch on to.
The thing is, it was indeed mythology, and not reality.
Now, some of the creators of the mythology - particularly from the successful television show "The Apprentice," find themselves regretting having helped to build the myth of Trump as a successful businessman, as well as having more empathy than he actually has in reality.
Below is the video of a couple of the producers from "The Apprentice" talking with regret at having created a monster, so to speak.
