Going, going, gone?

- Seetharam Basani

Throughout Donald Trump’s second run for of fice, which technicall­y began the day his presidency started in 2017, he appeared convinced the for mula that had won him the White House during his first-ever political race would work again. He did not alter his calculus -which included overtly racist rhetoric and an inclinatio­n for division -to account for being the incumbent. The hardhearte­d-man stuck to rhetoric and histrionic gover nance, making Americans show him the door in the 2020 presidenti­al elections. The US House of Representa­tives voted 232197 to charge Trump with “inciting violence against the gover nment of the United States” and requested his immediate removal from of fice and disqualifi­cation from ever holding one. The force d’ majeure of 2016 is a creepy crawly, now.
