We’ve just witnessed an extraordinary moment in the history of the United States: Donald Trump rose from the political dead to win the highest office in the land, again.
In 2016, Trump’s shocking victory was described as a leap into the political unknown. “This time there is no excuse”, writes our Washington DC bureau chief David Smith.
“America knew that he was a convicted criminal, serial liar and racist demagogue who four years ago attempted to overthrow the government. It voted for him anyway.
“… It saw Kamala Harris’s competence and expertise, her decency and grace, her potential to be the first female president in America’s 248-year history. It also saw Trump’s venality and vulgarity, his crass insults and crude populism, his dehumanisation of immigrants that echoed Adolf Hitler. And the world asked: how is this race even close?”
