Like most things in Trump's America, there's not a simple answer. But start with this: The organizing premise of Trump's presidency, and his surprisingly successful mission of bringing authoritarian government to the United States, is to convince people that "nothing matters anymore." Trump has already shown the world that he can lie with impunity, flagrantly violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution as well as two-plus centuries of ethical norms, and monkey around with the administration of justice — and other than the predictable wailing from the media and his critics on the left, no one will do a damn thing to stop him. Certainly not the GOP-led Congress, which has taken a hard pass on oversight when it comes to Team Trump's abuses.
