I am so very sorry, friends, to post such a thread, but my heart is breaking for all the damage he has done, the lives that have been lost under his reign of terror, the pain and suffering he has caused with jobs lost, health care lost or priced out of reach. the false arrests of law-abiding citizens, families torn apart...the list goes on and on, but I know I'm preaching to the choir here.
He's even evaded three or possibly four assassination attempts. He is evil personified, and yet he's in the White House, living in the lap of luxury, destroying what this country has held dear for 250 years.
I'm a Baby Boomer; we've fought the good fights, stood up in masses to protect and defend this country, and Trump and his evil horde are destroying it every single day. Yes, every single day. I fear for the young people who will inherit this horror.
In what should be my golden years, I hate to wake up to this every morning. It hurts beyond words,

Maybe things like "my blood pressure is down from 200/145 to 130/89. Or. ."I actually slept 4 whole hours", or. . "no longer stress eating". . .things like that.

(29,078 posts)This is why I liken him to a tapeworm - ugly to look at, and destructive to the lifeform it infests.
To liken him to pretty much any other creature is an insult to that creature.

(3,196 posts)...of us can't even imagine, not even if we're C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies (the late Dick Cheney is a possible exception here). It's likely that all that hand bruising is from regular IV infusions of various biologics to treat multiple conditions (e.g. vascular disease, dementia onset). I doubt it's from aspirin therapy as Trump claims; I'm on aspirin therapy and don't bruise anywhere near that badly, even when I really whack my hand on something. And of course, he's very well-protected by the Secret Service (though we keep hearing embarrassing stories every now and then about hookers and blow).
For just one example, Trump's battle with Covid, to wit:

I always thought being a good, kind, benevolent person was the way to go. Apparently, I was wrong. Evil is impervious.

All the while I hope that there really still is a God, just so that he and his minions can eventually receive the punishment they deserve, but seem to be evading in this lifetime.

(114,534 posts)Seriously, I don't want him dead. I want him disgraced, isolated, and powerless as no one takes his calls any more, afraid they'll catch more cooties. It's the worst thing you can do to a malignant narcissist, make him irrelevant and make sure he knows it.

(114,534 posts)I don't think the image of astooped old man drooling on himself is going to do it, whether or not they try to manipulate it with AI slopmeister videos. The longer the true cultists are fixated on him, the less chance the GOPee will come up with someone to take his place, the ral morons out there standing by their wreck of a man until he's been dead for 50 years and there is no chance any of the sightings of him around the world are real (see: Elvis).
That's why I'm perfectly content to have him live on in isolation and irrelevance.

(196 posts)Conditional life expectancy is how many additional years, on average, one is expected to live, given that they have reached a given age. Unfortunately, in this case (i.e., Trump), according to demographic statistics. "A 79-year-old male in the United States can expect to live for approximately another 7 to 10+ years, with many reaching ages 8690 or beyond." So don't get your hopes up.

(42 posts)I, too, am a boomer with the same past experience and feel exactly the same as you have described. Even more than my hatred of him, though, is my hatred for those who put and keep him in power .with apparently no consequence other than acquiring more power and money - an insatiable need which they are all satisfying while watching the death throes of a country and its citizens. I didn't know I was capable of such hatred.

And the founder of this garbage "news" station is also in the Epstein files. So much shit can be traced directly back to this shitty entertainment channel that it's not funny.
Even after the turd is long gone, we'll still have to deal with this shit. It sucks. Fox is a virus.

(6,105 posts)applies here. tRump is evil personified and finds joy in all the crimes and harm he commits. By all rights he should have died of Covid . That would have been perfect karma. But we dont get to choose what gets him. Mark my words, one day it will all end. According to some experts willing to give their opinion, tRumpolini doesnt have long for this world. He is shriveling up in front of us. But symptoms (and family history) are there. A large number of us around the world have definitely planned to toast the occasion and possible dance in the streets!
