I'm still totally befuddled as to how his election actually happened in the first place. No history of politics (kind of a cipher, really), not really super-active in politics since before Barack Obama as far as I can recall, and not even fully part of the Republican establishment but yet *just enough* people voted for him in the Republican primaries and then in all the right places necessary for that EC win. It's like the country, which was improving noticeably for everybody in the US under President Obama took a crazy U-Turn in 2016 and now we're going smack dab backwards (and then some) in record time. It's just jarring to myself and any thinking person. In a way, I'm glad that "the pivot" never happened and that he's NOT becoming better at being President, mostly because it's easier to fight a villain in plain sight than the typical Republican whom is awful but manages to put up a good facade (i.e. Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush). In fact, he's getting worse every day. OTOH I worry for this country in ways that I never thought that worry about it when Bill Clinton and/or Barack Obama were in the WH. Even the (then) extreme days of George W. Bush didn't seem *quite* as abnormal as what we are dealing with now.
