Wilson mercilessly takes down Trump and exposes the damage he has done to the country, to the Republican Party, and to the conservative movement, which has abandoned its principles for "the worst President in American history."

The 2016 election was a watershed for the United States. Alberta looks as Trump's victory not as the creator of this era of polarization and bruising partisanship, but rather as its most manifest consequence. When George W. Bush left office, the Republicans had no vision, no generation of new leaders, and no energy in the party's base.

"The office of the presidency stands at the center of a contentious, and even violent, debate over what it means to be an American. Defying nearly every prediction, Donald Trump won the 2016 election by appealing to a vaguely-defined, "great" American past, boasting he would reinvigorate an emasculated American nation beleaguered by dangerous foreigners, duplicitous Washington elites, and an entrenched liberal establishment promoting gender equality...
