I think his presidential term will lead us to a couple interesting conclusions: 1) it doesn't matter what the truth is because people are so fed up with mainstream media that none of it is relevant anymore, 2) it doesn't matter who is in charge because somehow people will still get work done.
The former is interesting because frankly I think it's a long-time coming -- the coordinated manipulation of a populace through media outlets has been shown to be subject to malice, more specifically the bald-faced and naked bias towards Clinton winning the election with 100% certainty when it clearly was just hot air (if anything it fueled Trump's popularity to the point where he was elected).
The latter is interesting because it shatters the veneer that a qualified US president is required to get any work done -- any schlub that isn't a genocidal maniac could be in charge and we'd be fine.
We do live in interesting times.
