I wrote nothing about Trump's private life and don't care about it. The issue is his tenure as President and the depths of corruption revealed as the result of the obsessive efforts to remove him from office.
Don't be daft. I'm commenting on his professional life, or rather the totality of Trump's corrupt professional life. And yes, during his tenure in office the nation was shown the depths of Mr. Trump's corruption over the years, dating back to when he received his first checkbook. I suppose we can thank the MSM for this, overlooking just this once the satanic presence they occupy in this fair land.
And one more thing. Trump isn't like you or me. He courted the media's hostility--he's courted the media's hostility for the last 40 years. He loves it! It's free publicity and Trump---the con man, the carney barking through his megaphone--- is well aware that therein lies his genius. The nastier the publicity, especially from the press, the better. Give him credit for this small amount of self-awareness.
Trump craves at all times, attention---as a vampire craves blood. You've been conned. You've been shaded by Trump. Trump doesn't like you.
His professional life outside his Presidency is irrelevant when discussing what he did in that office and what his tenure led the security state and corporate media to reveal about themselves. That genie's out of the bottle and we are better off for it. Only a blind ideologue or someone with a pathological hatred of Trump would deny this or see it as bad.
So his dance with the press turned out to be a victory against those who would try to control our thought and action, from the spooks extorting cooperation from Twitter to the lazy, unscrupulous reporters regurgitating lies from the "Hamilton 68" think tank, to the seemingly endless stream of ex-spooks going into TV punditry, whose function appears to be delivering political commentary that keeps us at each others' throats and cowering in our traps with existential fear.
So my admiration is not of Trump as a person or as a politician but as a wild man who in his narcissistic disdain for criticism inadvertently revealed the depths of deep state control and corruption. It is this new understanding of, and resulting widespread contempt for, the press and skepticism of our security state that I am grateful for.
It has given energy to alternative journalists working on the subscription model, who are driving corporate news into the tar pit and forcing Americans who are inclined to do so to think more independently.
This is my estimation of the value of the Trump Presidency. His campaign for re-election is another question.
"Years of persecution?" Tell that to the New York banks and hundreds of others and stand back as they snort collectively.

So take your condescending insults and cram 'em.
