There has been a large chasm in US politics since decades. This will not be bridged anytime soon. Both the sides are deluded about the past role of US, but in very different ways. Their delusions are hit by a changed reality: demographic change in US, and a growing Chinese power.

The animosity between the two deluded political parties can keep simmering on the slow burner for another couple of decades. It will not explode into a civil war (or terrorist attacks) unless it becomes socially acceptable to victimize some section of people. Hope sense prevails.
It is absolutely ridiculous to blame Trump for any of this. He is just voicing a very important political concern in the USA. This will resurface strongly even if Trump is silenced now. So the politically astute move is to let Trump save his face and move on to his legacy.
But I don't expect the pitchfork wielding idiots in the Democrat party to listen to the reason. It will most likely be a crappy divided polity, libing out their hatred and frustrations in a crappy digital surveillance infrastructure. We can only hope that the mess doesn't hit us!
