Trump sees every human interaction, from politics to trade to relationships with women, as a zero-sum game in which one side succeeds in establishing its dominance over the other. His campaign reflected that; instead of attempting to uplift the country, he ran on a platform of white Christian resentment.
Now he calls for unity, and claims to be the President of all Americans. What he really means by that is that he wants the minorities that he scapegoated throughout his campaign to shut up and let him do whatever he wants. It’s not going to happen, and it shouldn’t.
As the Chinese curse goes, we will be living in interesting times for the next four years.
