It has been a long or short four years depending on how traumatised you were by the ripples of what was happening across the Atlantic during Donald Trump’s reign.
But take heart: on Wednesday, the office will leave Trump, and there are lessons our elected leaders and we, the voters, can learn. Thanks to strong institutions, and adherence to the constitution, Trump does not have to leave office, the office will leave him — and those who hated him will continue doing so. Those who loved him will probably stop considering that some of them voted for his second impeachment early in the week.
