Donald Trump is not going to be president of the United States, and he is not going to win the Republican Nomination. But as Trevor Noah pointed out last night, he is having a lasting impact on American culture - legitimating a brand of ignorant, hateful No-Nothingism that existed long before him, but that we had managed to make most Americans feel embarrassed about. Long after Trump fades from this campaign, social and political zombies he has unleashed will be walking among us.
I recognize that Trump is ratings crack (though I have never understood the appeal; Trump and Dr. Phil were the two guests that would make me skip a Letterman show), but it is time for entertainment shows to ignore him, and news shows to treat him with the contempt he has earned.
