The "Trump is going to get worse" meme...

...I think that the more we say "Trump is going to get worse," the more it's posted as clickbait on Raw Story and elsewhere, the more we encourage him to GET worse.

Fact of the matter is that he's gotten worse every day since he scowled his way through his inauguration.

He just "is," and it's a matter of degrees. I don't think encouraging him to not BeBest by predicting he'll be an even bigger dick is helpful as he continues his quest to be an even bigger dick.

He’ll get worse just fine with or without our input. He is the sole person who is responsible and accountable for what he does or doesn’t do.

...I'm hoping the media has let go of even the slightest shred of hope that he'll "pivot."

It's going to be what we're seeing, and worse, until November. We have our work cur out for us.

He'll get worse all on his own, with or without our comments on it. It's just what he does and who he is.
