A pessimistic view of Trump's impact on the US. There are really three essays--the one on Obama's legacy is the first.
The second is a comparison of Trump and Shakespeare's Richard III. From that essay:
"And this is indeed the kernel of what I fear: that if Mueller at any point presents a real conflict between the rule of law and Trump’s ego, the ego will win. If Trump has to fire his attorney general, and anyone else, he will. If he has to initiate a catastrophic conflict to save face, he will. If he has to delegitimize the Department of Justice, empty the State Department, and turn law enforcement against itself, he will. If he has to unleash unspeakable racial demons to save himself from political oblivion, he will not hesitate to do so. If he has to separate children from parents, describe humans as animals, and turn Christians into pagans, he will not blink. This is what a tyrant does."
One should note that Richard III's reign lasted only two years. We should be so lucky.
The third is a movie review of what must be the most downer movie of all time.
Obama’s Legacy Has Already Been Destroyed
