I think you're right about his role.

It's important to note (relating to your screen name) that the most dangerous policies globally - which is to say all the policies related to Covid - have been supported both by Trump and by his "opponents". The vaccines, now lethal to thousands, were his baby, yet the left can't adopt them hard enough.

Trump, although he represented some policies more sane than what has followed (race, gender, and immigration), still promotes the top-down paradigm. That paternalistic view of the world will end our species.
