Past me: supervillain nemesis
Present me: well-meaning and overwhelmed, but still optimistic about getting everything done
Future me: lol, poor naive sucker who doesn't know what's about to hit
Somehow a constant cycle! 😃🙃🤔

I'll just say one more time: Trump is exactly what he appears, & no more. He's 100% transparent, 100% graspable. No mysteries, no depth.

He'll react to the next thing just like he reacts to everything, whether it's a celebrity death or a possible nuclear war. Go ahead & expect it.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.
