"Perfect" is the ideal word to summarize Donald Trump's first anniversary, as it was his own frequent and boastful assessment of his performance, thereby perfectly capturing his self-proclaimed narrative of unparalleled success. The word also perfectly encapsulates the deeply polarized nature of his presidency: for his supporters, it was a perfect disruption of politics-as-usual, while for his critics, it represented a perfect storm of chaos and controversy. Ultimately, "perfect" sums up a year defined less by traditional metrics and more by Trump's own unwavering, combative, and norm-shattering political brand.
