At the beginning of trump’s term this time around, I felt despair, rage, and a deep sorrow the he’d become president again. Then there was a period where every day was a shit show, then every hour- especially during the ICE raids in Minnesota and elsewhere. I couldn’t stand seeing the man’s face, hearing his voice, his name.
But gradually, as trump has become so obvious about his grift, his greed, his pathological lying, his lack of understanding about how the world and anything in it actually works, his alleged cognitive superiority, he has become a buffoon. He’s still dangerous. But when he talks about the beauty of the reflecting pool – now filled with algae and peeling paint – & how he won the war in Iran – but seems to be the only person in the universe who actually believes that – he’s an ugly, pathetic joke.
And now that the courts are negating more of what he has done or is trying to do, I actually feel somewhat hopeful that more people are seeing this 80-year-old orange idiot for the buffoon he is. A buffoon in a definite cognitive decline.
