I admit that I’ve never truly understood martyrdom, but I think it’s notable that Trump would get thrown under a thousand busses.

He’s objectively directly responsible for a whole lot of bad stuff. Right now no one wants to blame him for anything because he’s a petulant toddler happy to wield the worlds largest economy and armed forces against you if he feels your grovelling is insufficient.

However, as soon as he’s gone I imagine that dynamic will change dramatically. What’s the benefit of sucking up to someone who can no longer shit in your cornflakes?

Instead the opposite is true - his successors will be heavily motivated to blame everything on Trump.
