I respectfully disagree.

This is a man who actively endeavored to assume the highest office in the land and actively encouraged violence against his detractors and opponents. I have less sympathy for him than I do for syphilis. John Oliver pointed out that he's the only real estate developer anyone can name; that he has licensed his name for money illustrates that "public scrutiny" is not something he eschews.

This entire debacle has been for, by and about Trump's benefit. That he is now hoisted on his own petard is not something to be pitied; it should be a Guy Fawkes Day-level celebration of the character assassination of a character that never merited recognition.
