Gavin Wax is Chief of Staff in the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy.

America will take decades to una$$ everything the Trumpf junta has done in less than one year.

Much of the damage is irrecoverable, like trillions of dollars permanently siphoned out of the US economy by the oligarchs, federal careers ruined, destroyed satellites and food stocks, public lands sold off, USAID dismantled, CDC disease surveillance and research slashed, a White House marred with ostentatious modifications, an army of ICE thugs that won't be easily fired, a weakened FBI and CUA, and a permanent database of information on US citizens in the electronic gulag that won't be scrubbed or removed.

Whoever the next non-Republican POTUS is, Zeus help him or her, because they will be taking over a smoldering train-wreck in 2028 or 2032.
