Donald Trump and our civilizational decadence

Donald Trump graduated from the now defunct New York Military Academy, where they gave medals for Neatness and Order.

The potential Presidency of "The Donald" isn't quite so shocking when seen as a sign of our civilizational decadence, which I think speaks for itself.

I omitted Ford (Lieutenant, USNR, USS Monterey aircraft carrier, WWII) because he was never elected President in his own right.
