Four years ago, Donald Trump was written off as politically dead. He was twice impeached, blamed for the high crime of insurrection, prosecuted in the courts for multiple criminal and civil offences, ridiculed by the media, and defeated in his reelection bid.
His stunning resurrection in the recent presidential election has, therefore, shocked many political pundits and pollsters.
Trump’s opponents have long argued that he is a threat to American democracy and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the presidency. They point to his autocratic behaviour, indecency in public discourse, and unlawful actions. They also fear that he has the Supreme Court in his pocket.
