Most would be secured for their benefit - and the general welfare of the public. Not Donald Trump. I suspect that life isn't going to get better for The Donald. Will I be surprised when it's reported he died in his sleep?

Mope.

2. According to Mary Trump's book, TFG only sees the world as it relates to himself

And since things didn't go his way, there is something seriously wrong. It appears that he really believes this - it's what he wanted so of course it had to happen - it's what he believes and he's always right.

Unfortunately for us, so did the folks that comprise less than average intelligence.

4. The thing that I really don't understand is why anyone voted for him at all

He is not likable, he has no charm, but most of all he has no ideas - not for the people or for the country. All he can talk about is himself and how long can anyone stand to listen to that?? He is so blatantly offensive, not to mention his extremely objectionable history.

Previously, any candidate who was less than honest was soon eliminated. When Jimmy Carter said he would never lie, the press was all over every statement he made, looking for any hint of dishonesty. TFG does nothing but lie, often twice in the same sentence! Who finds that a desirable quality for leadership??

I really don't get how he made it past one disingenuous speech...
