The disconnectedness and AI manipulation of social media definitely has it's share of blame for the state of the country as a whole, but if we're talking about the ####show that elections and leaders have become in America, Trump shares a huge part of the blame.
As they said on the Hill, he's a chaos agent. That's why the GOP chose him, that's why he beat Hillary, and that's part of the reason America is in the state it's in and the role of the President and the election to decide that has become a farce – his sole quality is chaos.

Yup it started before that, probably when he came down that escalator and called Mexican immigrants rapists. The media latched onto it, gave him all the free airtime he ever wanted. He started at 1%. Then at the first Republican debate he was asked the first question, the most questions, given the most speaking time over established candidates. Then the exchange with Megyn Kelly. All to boost ratings.
