I've felt this way for a while. I think one of my most astute political observations as a kid was that, as much as I liked Barack Obama's leadership, he was deeply unreflective of the American public. I actually predicted that Trump would win in 2016, shocked as I still was to see it come to pass. But you're right. He's the perfect embodiment of our reality TV-show watching, short attention-spanned, exceptionalist country. Great piece, Matthew.
