Sanctimonious:  I agree with your analysis of Trump's election.  He was attuned to the strong current of disaffection with the existing politicians and capitalised on it.  This does not make him fit for office, in my opinion, and I think his actions and reactions speak volumes about this.  Some good may come of this, though, if the more mainstream politicians realise that they go to Washington not to govern over the people that voted them in, but to represent them in governing the nation.
