Trump's Presidency leads to more and more Kalsarikannit

The Finnish people have a word for that vague feeling you may have:

Kalsarikännit

when your car hits a patch of black ice and skids out of control, and tapping your brakes and steering into the skid doesn't work, and you don't know whether you will end up safe in your lane, or crashed into a guard rail, or overturned in a ravine engulfed in flames? That's more like the feeling I get from the Trump presidency.

The Carrie Underwood word for this feeling is "Jesustakethewheel".
