I hate him.
I'm just bursting with hatred for this man. It's overwhelming, it's pushing me over the edge. I am losing my work focus.
My boss doesn't like how I throw around the word "hate". So, I will try a few synonyms to make it clear. I despise the president. I detest him. I loathe him with every cell of my being. Every day, I hope I'll wake up to the news that he's dead.
An extremely poor response to COVID-19, causing the loss of my cousin.
Having the military gas protesters so he could get a photo op in front of a church that he's never attended, where the pastor doesn't even like him.
And now, sabotaging the post office in an attempt to tilt the election, slowing the mail, slowing bills, slowing medicine.
Hate, loathe, despise, detest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I figured out how to express what I am feeling. A phrase I can't remember ever using before.
This situation with the mail is fucking with my mind.
The lies, the corruption, the racism, the reversal of ALL of Obama's best policies, the efforts to destroy Obamacare, the placement of conservative judges all over the place... and then in 2020 alone, the mistreatment of the pandemic, the attacks on protesters, and now the mail.
It is fucking with my mind.
To all of you who have offered ideas on how to handle this spiritually, I thank you. I am trying ALL OF IT.

I really thought I hated W, but I didn't know what hate was until Trump. I was taught that it was wrong to hate anyone, but I just can't help it with him. I don't necesarily wish for horrible things to happen to him, but I don't blame anyone who does. I mainly just want him GONE from the White House and from our government. I want his damned foot off of all our necks.
This thing with the USPS is driving me nuts. He and this DeJoy creep (his name should be NoJoy) are the scum of the earth. Right now I feel like I did the night of the 2016 election, like up is down, down is up, and nothing makes any damned sense. I refuse to give up hope, but it's really, really hard.
Me too.
I like the way she thinks! 
I'll never forgive the morons who voted for the POS, and those who didn't like Hillary so they preferred to stay home or voted for Jill Stein. May they and Trump rot in HELL!!!
I know it's hard because he's everywhere. He's hard to escape when you just want to give your psyche a break now and then. In the countdown to the election, as things become more intense, I have been limiting my exposure to political discussions on the regular news/talk channels. I get the NY Times delivered, but now -- at the most -- I just skim through the articles focused on his latest effery. The ongoing news articles about Trump's continuing campaign to ruin the environment were triggers for me. As of late, his efforts to throw a monkey-wrench into the running of the U.S. Postal Service was another. And, of course, the continuing stress of living through a pandemic that is raging out of control in this country. Covid-19 is wretched: there are folks who have lost loved ones; once infected some patients never fully recover -- this beast can gum up your internal organs and make breathing a challenge even after you've been "cured." To top it all off is the fact that Trump has done absolutely nothing to reduce the mortality rate in this country. He is criminally negligent. Every time he stands up in front of the cameras and lies about how great America is doing compared to other countries - - -
But here's the thing. It is possible to emotionally detach from something that is very stressful, but it takes practice. Regular practice. I went through an unbearable, life-threatening situation in my life that I believe I only survived because of the tool of detachment. In this case it was presented to me by the Al-Anon program. To this day I believe that it saved my sanity and my life. In the case of Trump, it can do the same as it can relieve the stress on your health. And right now we really need to be working on reinforcing our immune system and that means working on the stress that undermines it. Also, I cannot say enough about the practice of meditation. Your brain and mind have been running on all cylinders for nearly four years. It needs some down time. Do it.
Here is one of my favorite Trump detachment stories. Many folks may not have the resources to go this extreme, but you get the idea. Detachment can do it for you:

There is no word in the English language that adequately describes how I feel about Donald. J. Trump.
He is definitely loatheworthy.
that someone once hated.
Dried Apple Pies
by Anonymous
I loathe, abhor, detest, despise,
Abominate dried-apple pies.
I like good bread, I like good meat,
Or anything that's fit to eat;
But of all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest is dried apple pies.
Give me the toothache, or sore eyes,
But don't give me dried apple pies.
The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit,
'Tis wormy, bitter, and hard, to boot;
He leaves the hulls to make us cough,
And don't take half the peeling off.
Then on a dirty cord 'tis strung
And in a garret window hung,
And there it serves as roost for flies,
Until it's made up into pies.
Tread on my corns, or tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried-apple pies.
(A little humor never hurts!)
I KNOW he is a direly damaged human being. I think of him in the same way I do pedophiles.
They were deeply damaged - through no fault of their own - in childhood. Their damage is not repairable. It takes a village to raise a child, but the village failed cuz there was money/ belief to support it.
GB had Australia. They had a place to toss these societal pariahs. that was 300 years ago.
Here in the US we give them reality shows and the oval office.
you say about the Criminally Deranged Thug, Conman and Cowardly Bunker Bully Brat!
I did not realize - and am thankful never to have realized before - that I was even capable of the level of hatred and loathing that I have for the most despicable, abhorrent and toxic POS of my conscious lifetime.
The only way that I have been able to function at all since Nov 2016 is to avoid like the plague any televised event where he is speaking or only to watch it with the sound muted, to avoid Fox News completely, and only to read about the havoc he causes at a time of my choosing - which keeps the absolute fury at a somewhat lower level.
Of course, DU, good wine, a lovely family, good friends, good books, Netflix and the fact that I am an expat who lives in a beautiful place that isn't bombarded 24/7 with stories about him also help!
Sometimes one literally has to tune out for one's health.
