Today is a national tragedy, as a person who did not want the presidency and was not voted into office by a majority of the population is nonetheless assuming the role. He ascends to this position not because of a life spent in public service but because of his very lack thereof. It is a life defined, instead, by racism, fear-mongering, xenophobia, sexual assault, failure, reality television, thirsty overtures to the global elite, “Twitter beef,” and shitty steaks. Today is a national tragedy.
