22. To be fair to ex-Presidents and high level politicians
Sat May 1, 2021, 04:38 PM
May 2021

the transition to retirement is a difficult one.

You need to cut away from what the job brought you, what you brought to the job, and you need to reinvent your relevance in the world.

None of them ever thought that their time in the limelight would ever end, or what they would do afterwards. Silly!

In Trump's case, though, it is especially difficult.

He brought nothing but chaos to the job, and the glitz and glamor he gained from it have dissipated.
The GOP - except for the crazies - has deserted him.
The law is after him.
People he owes money to are after him.

Donald, performing in front of a captive audience isn't the way to do it. You have no new routine, you have nothing of relevance to say.

My suggestion?
Pack a suitcase full of money, go to a different country, change your appearance, become a human being.
(That last bit will take some time!)

Just disappear. Off the stage, from the history books.
The adults are now in charge.
