56. I know something is wrong

Wed Jan 18, 2017, 06:44 PM

Jan 2017

I know that I have never been filled with dread like this.
I know that this man knows NOTHING about governing.

What do I do with this rage for the people I know who voted for him? Especially the ones who are supposed to be intelligent? I understand how he conned the deplorables with his lies, but these people I know who have done quite well under Obama-- I want to spit on them.

What do I do with the fear that our economy is going to collapse because he doesn't know what he's doing?

What do I do with this fear that he has generals in his cabinet because he's looking forward to starting a war?

I keep clicking on DU and Huffpo to see if the idiot has been arrested yet.

It's awful.

I can't stand him nor his silver-haired sidekick. Trumplethinskin is going to crash this country and I'm so afraid for the children.
