(88,534 posts)Just now realizing that things arent working out like you planned?
- Youre not the new king of the universe like you expected to be.
- Youre surrounded by criticism, bad publicity, and people you cant trust because they have their own agendas and they see your growing weakness. (Hell, EVERYBODYS starting to see THAT!)
- Youre feeling your age - watching yourself sliding steadily (and often painfully) downhill, health-wise. (By now, EVERYBODY can see that, too!)
- And your wife would much rather stay in New York than be by your side, gazing at you with worshipful eyes (like Nancy Reagan always looked at Ronnie all the time). Your marriage is nothing but a PR front by now. And you cant hide that or lie about it effectively anymore, either!
Even your own body is starting to rebel against you. Its not allowing you to lie your way back to invincibility anymore, much less even halfway-decent health. How many meds does it take, every day, to keep you propped up, by now?
And politically, the best strategists and planners are already considering whos next. Its becoming a common and widely-accepted truth: that YOURE the one whose time is running out.
Nothing lasts forever, donald. Not even you. And deep-down, I suspect youre starting to realize its unavoidable, much as you wish it isnt.
