It’s absolutely exhausting!
When he won his second term I decided I would ignore news stories and any SM related to him and focus on more positive things for the next few years. That’s how I would cope with it.
But of course, he would not allow that, would he. He had to make sure he was in the news and at the forefront of attention in a big way all the time. The most powerful person in the world!
I remember in his first term there was a meeting with the G7 leaders or somesuch and as they lined up for a photo he grabbed and pulled the person in front of him out of the way so that he could be front and centre, straightened himself up and had an expression that said ‘I am the most important person here’.
That simple act told you everything you needed to know about him.
And yet the American people could not or chose not to see who he was. Not just crass and greedy for wealth and attention but focused only on his own interests.
There was more than enough evidence from his first term that he didn’t care about the American people. They ignored his abysmal handling of Covid, devoid of sympathy for the more than 1 million American people who died of the disease, concerned only that the pandemic would affect his chances of re election.
They chose to ignore his involvement in 6 Jan, his constant refusal to accept the result of the 2020 elections and the undermining of democracy.
It was clear that he had no regard for rules, he was bigger than the constitution, the rule of law, international law. Nothing applied to him.
Why? Can anyone really explain why a people could vote for someone who was so wildly unfit for office and dangerous?
The world will not thank you for your role in the mass suffering and destruction in the Middle East right now and the hardship that many poor and developing countries will suffer as they bear the brunt of the consequences of this chaos and instability that your elected leader has created.
