He insulted immigrants, the disabled, women, prisoners of war, fellow politicians and their wives and fathers. He even threatened allies while embracing enemies.

Despite all that, Donald Trump is now the president of the United States of America.

Dave Ferrari, who served two terms as Wyomings state auditor and on the transition teams for three Wyoming governors, examines the 2016 presidential campaign and the consequences of the election.

He zeroes in on the Trump campaigns possible collusion with the Russians, the presidents personal and financial ties to the Kremlin and Russian oligarchs, and the role that the media plays in the election process, including the growing power of conservative radio and cable TV.

Whether its fake news, alternative facts, or the deliberate undermining of the free press, Ferrari offers a critical analysis of Trumps presidency, comparing it to previous administrations.
