I think I understand what Hume is saying, but will someone please rephrase it so that a 5th grader can understand it?

Well, it's a bit oblique, but I think he is saying that Trump's refusal to leave office gently and with his tail between his legs will tarnish the many good things he did while in office. He's kind of twisting the meaning of the original quote tho, so I'm not really sure.

The quote is from Macbeth, "Nothing in his life became him like the leaving of it," which refers to Cawdor's speech of pious loyalty before being executed at the gallows. Cawdor was certainly not loyal, nor pious, so they were basically saying, "He was never so righteous a man as he was right before hanging."

I think. While I love Shakespeare, it can be a challenge. That's the fun of it.
