We've Been On One Roller Coaster Ride Since Trump Surprised The World By Winning In November.....

We were high when we thought Hillary would win. We went real low when Trump won. And since then just about every week we were taken high by the lack of people at the inauguration. Taken low as Trump started signing EO's. Taken high by the women's march. Taken low by more EO signings by Trump. Taken high when it looked like Flynn would bring down Trump. Taken low when Trump got a SCOTUS appointment. etc, etc, etc. His disastrous foreign trips.

Every week we seem to be taken in by the MSM and the latest Trump scandal to only let it wither away into the nether world with some new conquest by Trump. Then right back into a high - with now the possibility of Trump Jr. and collusion.

Already I'm hearing that Jr. done no wrong. No collusion. No treason. Hard to prove. Harder to prosecute. So we're being guided back into a low - with the knowledge that nothing of consequence will come of this latest scandal.

What will be next weeks scandal/story that we'll be taken to a new high only to let the boom down on us the following week.

The American People are becoming demoralized by all this up and down. And it doesn't look like it will be stopping any time soon.

I'm getting to the point of surrender. Demoralized. Frustrated. Scared. Angry. Sad.

Is this what we will be having to look forward to going into 2018 and 2020?

It's almost feels like being in an abusive relationship at times. Eventually, you just go numb and stop caring.
