Since Drumpt came to power last year I've gone over

my miscalculations about not seeing this coming. My take on my miscalculations about his election revolve around 2 issues that, I didn't miss, but failed to understand their significance. The first was his despicable bull horning of President Obama's birth certificate. I think I dismissed it as a dog whistle to the racists but failed to understand as a clarion call to all those who hated anyone who didn't look like them. Second, was the tax returns. In retrospect, his ability to say I'm not going to publish them and no amount of press badgering or shaming him could make him should have told me we are dealing with a truly unaccountable man.

I've learned that no norm, rule, or standard regulation applies to Drumpt. Maybe the law will, the jury's out until Mueller completes his work.

I won't get fooled again.
