Trump's 'most insidious legacy' identified by journalist
Raw StoryJournalist McKay Coppins on Wednesday identified President-elect Donald Trump's "most insidious legacy." He begins by listing off Trump statements from the final two months of his 2024 campaign, including lies about Haitian immigrants eating pets, musings about Rep. Liz Cheney facing rifles pointed at her face, and even an incident where he pretended to fellate a microphone. "What you’re experiencing is the product of Trump’s clearest political accomplishment, and perhaps his most enduring legacy: In his near decade as America’s main character, he has thoroughly desensitized voters to behavior that, in another era, they would have deemed disqualifying in a president," he writes. Coppins adds that this power seems to be utterly unique to Trump, as voters in North Carolina this week elected him while at the same time easily rejecting North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, who described himself as a "Black NAZI" in a pornography website forum last decade.
