Trump is famous for his bankruptcies. Many of us who have fallen victim to the house edge at the tables or the slots, have pondered how a casino could loose money. But far worse. and even more inexplicable, was squandering the post World War II moral capital that had been so carefully hoarded and invested by past presidents.
Attacking our democratic allies while penning love letters to autocrats siphoned resources as did caging children, and tearing infants from their mothers. But the final blow was undermining confidence in our system of free and fair elections. The big lie soundly rejected by 60 courts, still echoes in the hearts of many Trump voters.
Without our moral beacon spotlighting atrocities, despots felt immune. Putin poisoned Navalny, and when he survived, and had the temerity to return, sentenced him to prison. As citizens, our recourse against Trump was at the ballot box. Navalny has the right to eviscerate Trump.
