PTSD -- Post-TRUMP stress disorder

If he's not stopped soon, the nation is going to have a PTSD problem for a long time.

Remember when we actually believed we were the good guys? I'm not just feeling
like a 1930's German but now also like a Russian from 2022. We failed to contain the evil.

I read a chilling and accurate assessment of what drives this latest abuse of power. Since he is dying and sees the world as under his control, or his to own, he will destroy it so no one else can have it.

Agreed. As a nation, we've certainly got a lot of blood on our hands. But at least we used to pay lip service
to some nice ideals. Trump has unleashed the worst of our flaws, unconstrained.

I find myself holding my breath waiting for the news he has passed.

Seriously though, I don't see him serving until the end of the year. He's too far gone.
