Trump knows how to profit from losses

Trump's area of expertise is how to profit from losing. He survived the bankruptcy of six of his businesses, and he will survive the moral bankruptcy of his presidency.

The end of the coronavirus pandemic is in sight, but the last stage is turning out to be the most virulent. The same might be said of the Trump presidency.

All six battleground states that US President Donald Trump was contesting have certified their election results. The results of the electoral college vote on December 14 are a foregone conclusion. Even Attorney-General William Barr says: "To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome." But instead of graciously conceding, Trump and his cultists are becoming more venomous and unhinged as the end draws near.
