Well....let's be fair. It was the less-educated that put him in-office....and, it was his dictatorial-ego (and, needy-for-approval personality) that wouldn't allow him to walk-away.

untitled Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 “Trump is a political weapon of mass self-destruction for American democracy — for its norms, for its morality, for sheer human decency,” Henry Aaron, a senior fellow at Brookings, wrote by email: So if Putin backed him, and if he did it to damage the United States, then he dropped one extremely smart bomb in the middle of Washington.
