11. So did I!

I spent watching the inauguration with my Mom. We were both crying, at the line we had finally crossed, and the hope for a better future. Mom lived thru the 1st trump mis-administration, and bitched about it the whole time with me. During one of those old age mental tests they do, they asked her was the current president of the U.S. Without missing a beat, she said "that goddamn evil idiot, trump." Mom died just before he was seated again. I always will wonder if she did it on purpose. She hated trump with such a passion, and (like me now) lost her will to live under his evil once again.
