My first thought, every morning:

[Siwsan]

What fresh hell will trump* spew, today?

1. My first thought;

Maybe he died overnight.

[Siwsan]

4. I was trying to decide if the presidency has 'aged' him but he's always looked hellish

He thrives on negativity. The only thing that will truly affect him is sending him into a state of international oblivion.

[johnp3907]

7. He doesn't care about anything that matters.

He only cares about himself. Caring about things that matter is what causes so much stress for presidents. That’s the tragedy of evil people. I’m afraid it’s like the Warren Zevon a song Mr Bad Example: “I’ll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy.”

10. Me too, and I've been disappointed 1,400 days in a row.

But hope springs eternal.

2. All distractions and diversions .

Eye on the ball.

[Siwsan]

3. It is definitely incentive to do just that.

[JHB]

5. To be honest, my first thought is usually...

...about acquainting my alarm clock with a sledgehammer.

[Siwsan]

6. This morning my wake up call came at 5:30, from thunder and lightning

I think that was the third time in about a week.

[backtoblue]

11. Lol

[MoonRiver]

12. My wake-up call is our little dog. 6:30 on the dot every morning!

[robbob]

8. Well...at least you're never disappointed...

Right?

[Meowmee]

9. I wake up and after doing the 50 million things I have to do and worrying about

everything with my family etc. I wonder how much longer I will have to live in the horror this country has turned into and if there will be a day I will be able to breath an unmeasurable sigh of relief that that fucking lunatic is gone for good. No more masks, no more of all of this nightmare.

[llmart]

13. I would never let him be my first thought every morning.

That's no way to start any day. One day (soon I hope) he'll just be a footnote in a history book somewhere that no one reads. Or an entry in the dictionary under the word "impeached".

[Siwsan]

14. Admittedly I have little control over what pops into my head at 5:30 am.

I think I've been in isolation for far too long, watching far too much news.

[llmart]

15. Watching too much news is not good for your emotional health.

I limit my news to what I read on DU (I limit that also) and watching my local news. I don't have cable so I get 4 and 7 and 62 plus PBS over the air.
