Hey do me a favor and look up into the sky

Higher, higher still
Do you see that - way up there
Way up above the clouds

That's rock bottom

And we are currently way down here

(John Oliver, loosely quoted)

Or anyone else's.

Also, for what it's worth, Trump notwithstanding, things are actually getting better down here. A lot better.
