Trump is ruining my diet.

Every time he is on I stress eat.

I understand now why people thought he was an authority figure. People tend to fear someone who has the power to fire you because that cuts to the core of self-sustainability. And he does it with the panache of the Red Queen.

I know that these things tend to run their course and he will eventually lose the effectiveness of the one tool in his box. It won't come soon enough.

Drinking more too. I finally woke up in June and decided I am not gonna let this shithead cause me to do self-destructive things or ruin my health. I'm down about 20lbs from the 40lbs I gained. Cutting down the wine drinking as well.

Trump ain't forever, you are correct his "you're fired" persona is wearing thin. But as you say, his downfall won't come as soon as I'd like it to.

between recent events, including personal events, I have lost my appetite. It's hard to get interested in eating--unless it's crap I shouldn't be eating. Which I currently do not have in my house, since I decided to put myself on the Whole 30 diet. I have to say, not wanting to eat has made this effort much easier. I would love a slab of pizza and a quart of ice cream right now, but fortunately for my arteries, I don't have any of that around the house.
