It is still surreal to wake up in the morning and realize Trump is POTUS.

When I wake up in the morning sometimes I like to pretend that Obama is still POTUS for just a few minutes. I guess that's my way of coping with this disaster. How do you get through the day knowing Trump is POTUS?

1. I know the feeling

There are times during the day where I will randomly choke up and cry when I remember who is our current POTUS. My daughter has been crushed since election day. She was so excited for the first woman President. She seems like a whole different person, very down and glum.

It's as if a dark cloud has blocked out the sun

2. Outrage is how and it sucks.

3. Piece Of Trash Unbelievably Stupid

POTUS has a new meaning

4. Every day, I wake and wonder what kind of shit will he pull today?

5. Yeah I definitely think that too shortly after I get back to the reality that's he POTUS. n/t.

6. I feel like Huey Long is our president

8. I dunno Trump reminds me more of Nixon only with way worst policies.

Nixon was a crook but Trump's conflicts of interest make Nixon look like a guy who just stole a lollipop from a candy store.

To quote another DUer on here (I'm not sure which DUer said this but I remember it): Washington couldn't tell a lie, Nixon couldn't tell the truth, and Donald Trump can't tell the difference.

7. It has only been a week and I wonder if the world can take any more.

Make it stop.

9. The calm and professionalism in the Obama White House vs. the frenetic spastic bullshit

every morning and every damn day from a crazy asshole

10. Fake president

I switch him off on the local news or mute when he comes on. But even a clip snip of his oath last Friday looks fake. He is an insecure zero of a human. There is no there there. Also cheeseburgers! Google chrome has an app that turns many of his pictures on line into a cheeseburger. The surrealism of it all helps some. Seeing pictures of Michelle and the girls guts me though because they are such a beautiful family and we have children of the corn now.

11. I wake up each day and do the best I can...

For myself and those around me. I try to use some of my limited disposable time supporting causes that are important to me. I'm starting to get better at making the most of my time. I've always had difficulty with that. I then self-reflect at the end of the day. Most nights I sleep pretty well. It's what I feel I can do. It's never my best. I do try.
