"...complaining about mean ol' Obama after Obama has been out of office for over a month."
You do not understand Trump's mind. Remember, he hounded, sent nasty messages, for 20 years to a woman in England who refused his advances. He will still be blaming Obama for 20 years. And, if you say something critical of Trump, and he gets wind of it, he will hound YOU for 20 years - and/or sue you. Also remember, he wanted new laws so he could sue the media if they said something unfair about him, and he would be the one who determined what "fair" is.
I enjoyed your post. It reminded me so vividly of the good old days. The days when I fought tooth and nail against Trump and stories of his obsessive but unrequited love for Princess Di were manna to my soul. And there were so many of them. And I relished every one. How could a man this crazy be elected president? No effing way.
But he was.
I don't know how I was able to rise from the rubble of all the Trump stories I once loved and passed on gleefully when others cannot.
I won't say I was struck blind on the road to Damascus. I did have a serious accident and spent 7 days in the hospital and another 5 weeks bedridden.
Whatever. I was just suddenly freed from my Trump hate. I know the Trump qualities are still there and may come out to haunt us but I also know that Trump has not put a foot (very) wrong since he's been president.
He has simply risen to the occasion. That speech the other night was one example. I never dreamed he could do that. At one time I didn't think he was smart enough.
Prior to my 'change' I thought he would make weird cabinet appointments that would embarrass and dismay us. He made excellent ones. I would not change one.
I thought he would forget his wild campaign promises. I stated firmly right here on this forum that he would never build a wall.
It looks like the wall is gonna get done.
I could go on but the point is that I was somehow able to give up my Trump hate and I feel so much better.
Trump is not the Second Coming and he may disappoint us but the time for piling on Trump over minor annoyances is over ... at least for me.
