I didn't say anything about me not liking them. I said both times that it no longer stays an experiment when the country is in arms length of a threat to push it back. And it also stops being an experiment when people can't fight for what they believe in. Whether or not I like it has nothing to do with it. How you got that conclusion is beyond me.

Being the CEO of a global empire may have parallels with the POTUS office, but Trump is starting to learn that there are roadblocks that you won't run into in a private enterprise. Maybe he'll grow from the experience.
And thus the experiment continues.

So you're implying that the shock of Trump actually running didn't push more people to focus on him and his potential for presidency? I would say it wasn't only him that allowed his presidency to happen. The media and his shocking demeanor helped him along the way. But it also didn't help that this election had two of the most unpopular candidates. People voted Trump so they wouldn't vote Hillary, and vice versa. Trump isn't smart enough to figure out the system all by himself.
