If one were to raise a child with lessons of exactly what NOT to do, of how to live a miserable life

telling them to do all of the things trump does would be how to do it. Bully, lie, cheat, steal, put yourself at the center of the universe, it's all there. He is the bizarro role model of failure.

trump lives a life that is the exact mirror image of how he sees himself. He is a complete fraud and no doubt will go down in history of the absolute worst president of all time, and in the bottom 10 (can't really call it a top 10, can we?) of worst leaders of a country in all of history. Of course, we all know who he compares with for the race to the bottom.

I guess I sit here astounded that somehow the US - the world - has survived three years of daily fail. How much longer, though?

If he gets away with all of the crimes he has openly committed (not to mention the ones out of sight), it is hard to see the office of the presidency, our system (courts, congress) ever completely recovering.

And I think that because underneath all the horror going on where we can see it, there are many good people still doing a reasonable job carrying on the actual business of our government.

We can't see them, or hear them, but they are there. And they will help us restore what has been damaged or lost when the orange blob is gone.
