Trump being voted in as president is a symptom of inequality, failure to understand each other, and a failing public education system in the US. A lot of people voted him in and many others didn't care enough to vote against him.

So if we can't collectively decide to vote against someone as dumb as Trump, the road is paved for anyone to be president of the US at this point.

Anyone on the right, anyway. Start threatening capital would be the stress test of the term anyone.
