He’s the living embodiment of a Twitter troll. Everything he does is about attention capture. I wish we could just ignore him. I know he’s the president, so what he posts is news. But, that he gets to make the death of two decent people about himself is infuriating.

Everyone has opinions. Sometimes they’re helpful. Sometimes not. For me, it helps to keep writing. It’s therapy, maybe. You give yourself the gift of the journey and let the bumps help you along where they can, if not, just leave them behind and do what makes you happy. Hugs.

I’m picturing Cartman from South Park reading this aloud on a Tik Tok.

This is bigger than Trump. Trump is the PT Barnum for a coalition of anti-government extremists who believe they are about to win it all, mainly because we are all watching the Trump show, while they are busy playing masters of the universe.

The other thing we could try, but it would take massive buy-in from the non-billionaire set, not to mention sacrifices I’m not sure we’re ready to make; SHUT. THEM. DOWN. Stop buying their oil & unsubscribe from their platforms. Pressure remaining liberal democracies to divest.

I’ll bet he never took one in the middle of a presser, though.

Was Eleanor Roosevelt involved in drafting this?
