That is a mind-opening article. I now realize that my OP in this thread suffers itself from Trumpist pathology: Optimism where none is warranted. I’m a slow learner but it’s finally dawning on me that those with such a low opinion of Trump as to seem comically exaggerated were right all along. :mad:
Do they speak of Five Stages of Grief, or is it Seven Stages? More stages will need to be defined before our Trump-grief finally comes to an end. In any event, I too have moved past the amusement stage.

Two years ago, we played a little game, “Predict the GOP nominee.” Those were happier, optimistic days. Dead Cat bid 8% as Trump’s chance and since he pled ignorance as a foreigner we allowed him to back down to 1%, which became the winning bid.
