As early as 2016, almost the entire European press made Trump its new scapegoat. It was declared over and over again that he had «stolen» the American election, that he was illegitimate and that the United States was entering the darkest period of its history because of him. Four years on, the situation has hardly changed: anti-Trumpism is the only politically correct opinion. Any questioning of the majority discourse is scorned, immediately associated with the far right or conspiracy theorists. It's time to give up this easy way of thinking.

The proponents of «good» are more sure of themselves than ever. They were already so when they loudly proclaimed that Trump would never be re-elected, swept away by a Democratic tidal wave. If it hadn't been for the coronavirus crisis, Trump would probably have won the election by a wide margin, given his popularity in the US.
