Hierzu Caitlin Johnstone:
After four years everyone–left, right and center–has been proven wrong about Trump. He was neither a uniquely evil monster (he was indisputably not even as bad as Bush), nor a populist hero draining the swamp and fighting for the common man against the Deep State.
In actuality Trump’s term has clearly established what he really was this entire time: he was a US president. Better than some, worse than others, but also deeply awful all around since he voluntarily served as the face of the most evil and destructive force on earth, namely the United States government. He was the same kind of monster as his predecessors.

Es war von vornherein absurd zu glauben, dass Trump den Bürgerrechten und Menschenrechten in irgendeiner Weise verpflichtet sei.
Spätestens jedoch, als bekannt wurde, dass Trump Kriegsverbrecher begnadigt hat, musste auch dem naivsten Trump-Anhänger klar sein, dass er genauso wenig dazu bereit sein würde Assange zu helfen wie Obama.
