One could accurately note that in his first term, he played lots of golf, and did very little that could be considered the work of the presidency. Yet, what has changed is how the felon presents between playing golf. That raises a couple of questions.

First, at what pace might we reasonably expect the downhill slide? I asked a retired doctor, a nice lady who was not "political" until the middle of the felon's first term. She said that the physical and mental decline go hand in hand. She said that individuals differ at the felon's age, based largely upon genetic, diet, and levels of stress in their adult life. I asked if this was the same for sociopaths? She said that overall, it is best to have good mental health, as it helps reduce stress, but that she was not aware of health studies of sociopaths, at least not those held in prison.

Second, just my opinion, but I have reason to believe that Stephen Miller is the unofficial "acting president." It's not that the felon doesn't have a few hours a day where he can hold it together, and splatter his nonsense. Thus, when something goes "wrong" for the administration, it will cause a destructive response.

We need to increase the pressure at every non-violent, constitutional level. Maybe -- and it's a big "maybe" in an uphill struggle -- there will be significant changes by next year.
