After four long years, Donald Trump’s presidency will end. For the past year and a half, I’ve been thinking about the Trump criminal legacy. While his crimes and misdemeanors in office are too numerous to fully grasp, these actions and policies have weighed heavily on us. Assembling this book, I was struck by how interminable the offenses are, and how for me they distort time. These past four years have felt like an eternity. Ponder-ing the effects of the Trump agenda, I keep think-ing of his empty mantra to Make America Great Again. In fact, MAGA is family separation. MAGA is the Muslim ban. MAGA is voter suppression. MAGA is slandering U.S. military troops. MAGA is altering our weather maps. MAGA is the denial of science and weaponizing the coronavirus and the devastating wildfires that we now must expect annually as a result of climate change. MAGA is conspiracy theories and the scary cult of the Trump personality. MAGA is enabling white supremacy. MAGA is the intentional undermining of our justice system and of our free and fair elections. MAGA is the Republican party’s complacent enabling of this sad decline. At the end of it, 1 wonder how long it will take us to fully recover, to embrace one another, and to trust our democracy again. - Susan Unterberg
