The reference at the end from The Great Gatsbyis a perfect description of Trump, his administration, and most Republicans in Congress.

“In THE GREAT GATSBY, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about Tom and Daisy Buchanan, the aristocratic couple who exemplify the moral corruption of the wealthy.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy,” Fitzgerald wrote. “They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

If Democrats ever get back in power, they will be cleaning up the Trump mess for decades.
