Not to mention that his dementia has shown signs of classical sundowning--meaning early mornings when he posted this and other crap have him at whatever counts for his mental "best." Yet, we all continue to do it. Not just you, Tommy, and I am sorry to pick on your post to make the point, but... All of us.

We have to become strategic. Our giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, continually, that he has constantly shown not deserving, will be the destruction of all of us.
