"After Five Years, We Have Learned Who He Really Is"

"Much has been made recently of this election as a referendum on the president not just as a politician with a set of policies, but as a person. This list—compiled using excerpts from my pieces and my interviews with sources who have known him most of his life—is the distillation of his worldview, a condensed sketch of Donald Trump as a man. And no matter what happens, and whether or not he retains his grip on the White House or decamps in defeat to Mar-a-Lago, these truths will continue to guide his behavior—and the way we perceive it."

Michael Kruse at Politico provides "45 Self-Evident Truths About Donald Trump."

And Michael Krues discusses "The Swamp That Birthed Trump."

And David Rothkopf at USA Today says that Trump "may well be the worst of all those who have betrayed America in the past."
