Since the day Trump won the Republican nomination for
president, there has been endless discussion about him. People have examined his polices and
dissected his words to understand exactly who and what he is, as well as what
kind of agenda he would set. There has
been virtually constant disagreement and divisiveness about his effectiveness
as a leader, the effect his policies will have, and even whether or not he is
fit to serve as president. Like many, I
discuss Trump in various contexts quite frequently, both in person and online,
and I admit that I sometimes do this too frequently; as a result, I have been
accused of “obsessing over Trump,” as have many who oppose him and most of the
major news outlets. But is this a valid
criticism? Are we obsessing, or are
those criticizing us simply missing the point?
