Talking to some of my relatives back east i was sullen and feeling low after Mueller's testimony.

Not because I thought he failed at what he was called to accomplish but because Trump and his sewer rats were spreading their faux glee. I was really feeling badly because the media was falling in line right behind the absurd assertions by the FOX echo chamber. After the phone call my niece text me this:

"Cheer up! U can take comfort in knowing that 45 has not had 1 day of joy over being President. He has had to live with knowing that he followed into office one of the most beloved, decent, smart, and talented men to ever occupy that office. 45 has had to live with the knowledge of how the Obamas were accepted and loved and admired all over the world by the people of every country despite how their leaders may have felt about them. 45 has had to deal with the fact that he has been exposed as con man, a liar, adulterer, idiot, racist, and failed businessman and will eventually be seen as a failed Presidency when the chickens come home. He has not spent 1 day of contentment in office because he knows deep down that even his most ardent supporters fully know that he is all of the things he has been exposed as. So cheer up. He may well bemoan his Presidency from behind bars so cheer up aunt T"

Cheers!

He is an empty vessel and he keeps trying to fill that hole with more money. Obviously, it is not working.

It can't buy you respect.

It can't you dignity.

It can't you a heart or a soul.

through all that dementia.

Sorry. I know it's rough and I'm just as pessimistic. I can take comfort in the fact that his base knows everyone in the world hates him (and them by extension.)

how much he understands.

When he stood up to speak before the UN and started bragging about his great Presidency and leadership, they laughed at him. He was taken aback. He must believe what he says.

Also, he has people surrounding him to encourage him. They take one nugget of optimism out of a generally pessimistic report or story, and say, "Look, see, they like you. No collusion! Your polls are good!"

He believes it.
