Hopefully we're down to the last 6 months of the Cheeto-in-Chief. Then American politics can go back to just being corrupt. Which would of course beat the current flavor of corrupt AND embarrassing.

I think the previous standard of politics has something more than corruption going for it.
They are somewhat competent and the leader tend to follow the advice of experts.
Little Bush did that and he managed to keep the country together for 8 years.
So did Clinton and Obama. Between these 3 presidents we have 24 years of relative peace and prosperity.
But you get a really bad one and he can ruin all that foundation and growth in a few quick years.
Corruption are everywhere. But competence makes up for the damage caused by corruption.
If you are corrupt and incompetent, then there's no saving grace no matter how you spin it.
