Banana Republic par excellence

It's now seven days since the grotesque became reality.  Amazingly, there are plenty of smug liberals going around saying "told you Sanders shouldn't have been the Democrat nominee."  Because their smugness will really help the poorest communities around the world suffering from climate change, whose subsidies (instituted by Obama) Trump will now remove.  The hatred of many liberals and millenials fro Hillary Clinton meant that they, with their privilege, were prepared to sacrifice the weakest in the USA and beyond.  If Trump supporters were deplorables, in Clinton's '47%-Romney' moment, these people (including their idol Julian Assange) are despicables.
But it's been a very good year for Vladimir Putin, as the West fractures.  He disowned Russian interference in the US election, asking if they were a banana republic that they had so little trust in their own processes.  But maybe this result shows that they are, especially when Clinton wins the popular vote by a total approaching two million more than Trump, more than many winning presidents.
In the computer game Tropico, Trump (and especially his campaign) have some very distinctive traits to be El Presidente.  His background could be 'Developer' - where the environmental faction respects you less but the capitalist faction likes you more and construction is 50% cheaper - or 'Silver spoon' - where he would start with more money (he is the 324th richest person in the world - and people mocked Romney for his wealth!) but be respected less by the communist faction.  'Man of the people' he would portray himself as but this receives less respect from the religious faction - in the USA the religious right did not respect him but still voted for him as "an instrument of God."  He might even qualify as 'pop singer', given his celebrity.
Although in rise to power, it is tempting to say he was installed by the KGB, properly (even if he doesn't govern as such) he was elected as a fascist.  People still feel 20% more liberated, although their democratic expectations are moderate rather than high (as with 'elected as a Socialist') or very high ('elected as a capitalist', 'elected for family values').  The military faction respect you more and crime is 20% lower (good for tourism).  In Tropico 3, there are nationalists who dislike immigrants, workers being paid too low a wage and El Presidente signs treaties with foreign powers; in Tropico 4, there are Loyalists who want a totalitarian cult - both would be a natural fit for Trump.
Positive qualities would be being involved in construction.  Trump covers most of the negative characteristics (moronic, ugly, gambler, etc) but the most fitting one would be compulsive liar.
So, it only four years (hopefully).  But in four years, Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's successor, set back civil rights for a century (1865 - 1965).  And then there's climate change, race relations, attack on abortion and rollback of gun restrictions, to name a few.  Trump may not be as bad as his campaign but following through on 80% of it is still disastrous.
