INEVITABLY, Donald Trump won Tuesday’s New Hampshire Republican primary, solidifying the position he has held all along — as the equally inevitable Republican nominee for a return to the US presidency.
Despite the 91 criminal charges he faces; the documented 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his previous four-year stint as US president; and the accusations of rape against him by at least 26 women, Trump’s popularity remains at an all-time high.
Indeed, this singular ability to defy decency and the law likely boosted Trump’s chances in New Hampshire, where non-conformism is less an aspiration than a way of life.
