We now have a better sense of what Trump's return looks like. Donald Trump threatened as much in his last public statement as president, uttering the chilling words: "We will be back in some form."
But the fear persists that the villain who created it will return. Joe Biden is certainly well cast as the steadying presence come to clean up the mess.
#SHADOW PRESIDENT COMMANDS MOVIE#
We'd be at that stage of the movie where the monster has apparently been slain, when the hero stands amid the rubble and the ruin consoling those who have survived, calm seemingly restored - only for the audience to gasp as the demon stirs back to life, rising from the dead to inflict one last blow. If this were a horror flick - and, Lord knows, these past four years have felt like one - we know what would come next. Writing at the Guardian, Jonathan Freedland previews the next chapter in the Age of Trump: Ultimately, a force that does not know it has been defeated will not stop fighting. The Republican Party and its voters remain in thrall to Donald Trump. Trump's followers do not understand that they were beaten in the November election, and quite likely will never accept that. Last week, Joe Biden finally became president of the United States and the Democrats, at least on paper, maintain a tenuous hold on both houses of Congress.īut despite the historical verdict of the 81 million Americans who voted for Biden and the Democrats, Trump is likely to remain a fixture in American life and politics for years to come. To call Trump's political cult "deplorable" is, quite honestly, to elevate it above its real standing. His "movement" was and remains a force of prodigious civic evil. To vanquish the monsters of this world requires hard work and eternal vigilance.ĭonald Trump proved himself to be one of the worst presidents in American history - if not the very worst. Throwing them down the memory hole offers little if any safety. They are not defeated by denying that they exist.
