I had one of those Medicare wellness checkups today and

my Doctor told me that she has never had so many patients come in and tell her that they were stressed and depressed by what's going on in Washington with Trump. She said that her clinical take was that Trump is seriously troubled, that he hates the job and that his behavior indicates that he has a subconscious desire to get out of it. Interesting!

Now I'm on medication. Forget healthcare, he'll kill us all just from stress.

He says that Trump is self-destructive and that people who voted for him are also self-destructive.

I can hardly wait for Trump to self-destruct and I hope most of the people who voted for him do the same.

We are in a world of hurt in this country. People are not just ignorant (and proud of it) but self-destructive
and that is going to affect the rest of us. We cannot afford racism, misogyny, bigotry, fear of others. We have
one world--for all of us--and if we don't figure out how to get along and cherish the world, we will all end up
hurting together.
