Granted, I'm in my 70's, but still. I had grown acclimated to having severe "disagreements" and worse with some of our prior Republican Presidents, but Trump is the "Ten Deadly Sins" personified, and I never thought anyone with such a despicable character could ever seize as much control as he has, or upturn so many of the norms we had lived by.

Again, I'm hoping that he suffers more than a just a loss of popularity, but that the entire edifice he's constructed totally collapses in a heap of utter disdain. May he be a bubble that is about to burst.
