A sad day

I've lived thru some truly sad days in American history among my 26,225 and counting. But never have I witnessed a man about to assume the presidency, display his unfitness to hold office in such clear and striking fashion as Trump did in his first post election news conference. He revealed his unfitness as Republican candidate and Republican nominee, but ascended to the presidency with a minority vote and a demogogic appeal to the electorate, securing his election on a fluke of the process and a mere 80,000 votes in three swing states.

But no votes can save him from the self destructive character and temperament on full display to the American people Wednesday. Richard Nixon, arguably the most temperamentally unfit man to achieve the presidency, hid his character flaws through his first term and reelection, before self destructing. Trump's have been on display since he announced 18 months ago.

Only two questions remain.
How long will it take Trump to self destruct?
How much damage will he do to America and the world before he does?
