re: #174 jaunte

All the people who imagined he was manageable or would “grow into the office” were delusional.

I’ve maintained for years that at least one future write-up of him should be titled “The Ugliest American”. I don’t know if he’s the worst President ever - I’ve seen arguments that Bush 2 gets that title for sheer scale of waste and misery he caused - but he’s likely the worst human being ever to hold the office, at least since the 1850s. And, in my opinion, outside of physically violent individuals (like killers, racist terrorists, etc.), and bona fide crazy people, he may be the worst publicly known human being our culture has ever produced.

He’s not a man in the normal social sense - he’s a collection of pathologies with a Social Security Number.

I work with a smattering of Trumpites, and I overheard a co-worker yesterday morning on the phone with her husband talking about impeachment and how she “felt bad” for Trump because everyone was picking on him… There’s not a desk in the world big enough to hit my head against for that kind of alternate-universe ignorance.
