After the damage Trump has caused, we may need a reincarnation of FDR to recover.

Trump: "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can do for Trump's country."

Or, maybe:

"We have found the scary shit and it are us."

(thanks for the loan to JFK and Walt Kelly).

More like Trump, "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can do for ME."

Trump believes he is America, so whenever he says something is good for America, he means it's good for him, country be damned.

If he weren't so dangerous and destructive, he'd be sadly pathetic to the point of deserving pity.

I love history, and this juxtaposition is beautifully carried out. One president brought us out of a depression, the other started one.

This weak, insecure bully demands fear and fealty to succeed in his mission to both own and destroy the world at the same time.

So far, he's managed to screw up royally. He fails to see that his own incompetence would get in his way of becoming the most vile dictator. But, there's still time. It's only the first hundred days.

Absolutely spot on. Since 6th grade (now 79) this has been a quote I bring to the fore front often, and yes in the beginning days since Jan. 20. This is the first time it does not bring me solace or hope. You nailed it…

And what a long and disastrous 100 days it has been. Do we really have to endure almost 4 more years of this horror/terror? The long nightmare continues....
