Trump Will Haunt Us

Over at The National Interest, Christopher Fettweis argues that Trump is going to haunt us for years.

Here’s one paragraph:

Visions of Trump will haunt all interaction with the United States as long as there are people alive who remember him. Other leaders will need to focus squarely on how their actions affect American politics and will seek to avoid giving any aid or rhetorical ammunition to wannabe Trumps, those inevitable copycats who appeal to the same voters who brought him to power. Thus in the long run Trump may do something he was never able to do while in office: help his country receive more cooperation and achieve its initiatives. Fear of a repeat may well be a tool that sagacious U.S. negotiators can use to their advantage, because everyone will know that, even in the best of times, the American people might choose the worst among them to lead.
