"Trust is lost in buckets and comes back in drops." Heard that in a 12-step meeting.

People have speculated about the trust lost in the US because of Trump's cuckoo behaviors and words.

How long will it take to regain that trust, assuming that the US gets back to a more sane administration?

My mother was one of the "greatest generation." Born 1928. She, and others of that generation, still thought decades

Nuff said.
