Every day Donald Trump spends in the White House and walks through the halls, he'll be forced to come face to face with this hanging in the corridor:
Sure, I assume there's nothing that would stop him from covering it up if he wanted to. Or removing it. Or drawing a fake moustache on it. But eventually someone is bound to notice if any of that happened and even if it does happen, it only brings home an inconvenient truth to the Madman.
And that inconvenient truth is that he'll always have the stench of illegitimacy surrounding him. He'll be reminded that he lost the popular vote to her by nearly 3 million people, and that his much ballyhooed "electoral landslide" actually was in the bottom quadrant of all electoral victories. He'll be reminded that he had to strike a deal with the Russian devil to shame and defame his opponent to get to where he is at that moment and that people aren't going to forget that fact.
He's going to see her perpetually smiling face every single day and it will eat him up.
He'll see her face continue to smile as his approval ratings continue to plummet as he stumbles and bumbles and wrecks this country's good name. He'll see that face as the reputation of her and President Obama continue to rise in sharp contrast as reminders to the people of a more stable, prosperous time in this country.
He won't be able to escape it, the shame he'll feel every single time he passes her in the hallway.
And in the end, when he's done, he'll be so much of an embarrassment to this country they won't even bother to put up a picture of him in the White House. He'll forever be a bastard to history.
Every. Single. Day. That's what he'll be forced to deal with.

(43,182 posts)I think there's secretly a portion of him that is filled with self-doubt and insecurity.
The thing is, instead of attempting to address those doubts, he covers them up with bluster and attempts to reassure himself that he indeed is the Greatest Man Ever Created.
