I am of the opinion that Western Civilization ended when the First World War started up and that it took about a century for anyone to notice. I use that point because that war appears to me to be the catalyst that paved the way for the era of the total state which may be ending now due to simple bankruptcy.
That said I have no problem with giving Trump a chance since the usual suspects are known crooks, completely incompetent or both.
I have read from two sources that WWI was the start of the decline of Western Civilization because many decided after the war that the German philosophers were correct in asserting that " God is dead".
