(206,420 posts)What did Trump expect???
As for President Obama, he endured attacks on a daily basis - some good natured, some vicious - but he accepted that it came with the territory. Overnight, we went from a constitutional scholar with an ideal temperament - to an ill tempered sorehead with no knowledge of government or history - and no wish to learn.

(206,420 posts)The other thought I've had countless times (so far) - have we ever had such a surly, antagonistic - and downright nasty - press secretary?? Here we thought Ari Fleischer was tough to take! IMO, it's no contest...

Waiting, not hardly patiently, for the implosion.

(206,420 posts)I'm just frustrated it's taking so long! I often imagine what they'll have to say after that - but, with luck, we'll never hear from them ever again.

(206,420 posts)I don't know if that's happened to me on DU before, we usually make do with cyber hugs here, LOL...
And I've been waiting - and waiting. Actually, making it through the campaign was torture enough. I couldn't wait for it to be over so we'd never have to see or hear from him again. Day after day, we keep hearing how he doesn't know what he's doing - not to mention the latest scandal.
Thanks for your kind words - and the smooch! We need to stick together and support each other through this "long national nightmare..." And we do have a DU smilie for that...

(20,268 posts)I have to hold onto the belief that justice will prevail.
Then again, I read some scenarios that gave me the chills.
Trying to keep the faith that the experts with their know-how will bring the anticipated result to fruition. One that will elicit a collective and deep sigh of relief from us all.
Sweet dreams! 💛

(206,420 posts)It is aggravating and there are times I get depressed - and scared - and I sure know I'm not alone in that. But I try to accept that just me, alone, can't have much of an impact. But then I realize we have some good people out there - and I count my senators among them - who have the experience to know what to do. I just wish they'd move a little faster.
Wishing you some good rest, too.

(206,420 posts)The only part of "the job" he enjoyed was the campaigning - which is actually a prerequisite before the actual work begins. So that's what he continues to do - and expects the actual "job" - the leader of the free world - to take care of itself.
