President Biden is as Establishment as one gets. He's no master of grandstanding. Reality may mover faster than meets his taste. Heck, the fellow is near 80, and many of his contemporaries have died off of the usual causes relating heavily to old age.
With Trump, the risk was of irresistible force meeting an immovable object, and that implies destruction of the immovable object. Trump had no clue on COVID-19 and still had it very wrong. As President he would still have it wrong, going along with the people who have it most wrong. He is a racist; he is a religious bigot devoid of any religious learning; he sees himself as the measure of all things. Environment? "Burn (fossil fuel), baby, burn!" describes him well. Economic inequality? For him, the more the merrier for his closest associates... and for the rest, it's pie-in-the-sky-if-you-die... and if you insist on even basic sustenance in the here and now on terms other than abject subjection you can die horribly now and be denied any pie-in-the-sky.
Classic X'er plays with historical forces and scientific realities far beyond his comprehension. He has yet to realize that Donald Trump is a sociopath who can do not good for any but himself and his associates and only harm to the common man. His Acerima is a sure failure.
