There are only two ways to get rid of a Nero. One is assassination, and we can’t schedule a meeting with Michael (Corleone). The other is political seduction and flattery to get him to let down his guard just enough to get rid of him, and that is what Trump was trying to do in his first term.

I think this the most intelligent two sentences I have read concerning this matter. Spot on and compact realization of what can, and cannot be done. Trump took the best avenue to address the problem. Clinton, Obama, Biden in all of their arrogance could not.
