Anyone who did vote for him, take a long, hard look at your life. You are failing as a human.

All of these labels about Trump are true, but in a democracy its generally about the society and not the leader. Democracies end up with the leader they deserve and that represents the underlying health of the society. I think there is lots to assess with this election when you have a majority of voters electing a leader with so many obvious faults and general lack of character. He speaks to the white middle class American who feels like he has been left behind by globalization and offshoring of American jobs. For them, Trump at least is the candidate that makes them feel heard and like they could have a place in the world.

I think it also speaks to failures of the institutions of healthy democracies. Over the last 20 years there has been an erosion of independent, fact-based journalism. A lot of misinformation is spread on the internet and social media (with Trump being a big pusher of the "fake news" sentiment that basically allows him to deny any reporting about him to his base - anything negative about him reported in the mainstream news simply isn't true!
