Why oh why?
And no, I was not for Trump in 2016, 2020, or 2024. I am a never Trumper. That refrigimatator magnet was a prank. I keep it on there to commemorate the weird parts of my generally good marriage.
It is difficult to have to live with someone who is MAGA. It is also easier than y’all might think because he can fix terlets (and just about anything). I am not mechanically inclined so if he gets hit by a bus, I would have to play the roulette wheel to find a handyman. Plus after going on 44 years of marriage we kinda get along. Not gonna say it has always been easy ’cause marriage isn’t always easy but we have made it work somehow and continue to do so.
Why oh why are we bombing Iran? Yeah, they were “building up their nuclear program”. Okay. Didn’t our dear leader (not) say back in June that “we” had bombed their whole program out of existence and it would take many years to rebuild it? If that is true, why are we bombing Iran now? I might ask why we are bombing SCHOOLS in Iran but what’s the point?
It seems like Trump changes his mind about why “we” are bombing Iran every five minutes. In other words, Trump and his sycophants do not have any kind of plan. They just feel like bombing somebody somewhere, anybody anywhere. Peace President, right? Not.
As to why people voted for him in 2024? I. Do. Not. Know. We endured him and his lies throughout his first administration. We endured his role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection attempt. Why did anyone expect a second term to be different. Oh, he will “fix” “the economy”. Um, not really. The president can’t really do that kind of thing single handedly. At one point he actually said something like he would be “so good for women”. Say what? Hasn’t ever done anything good for women that I can think of. Reversing Roe V. Wade? Nope. Not good for women.
His second term is much much much worse. Whatever forces were reining him in during his first term are totally gone this time. He has hired ridiculous sycophants and they are doing the jobs that he (NOT the idiots who voted for him) wants them to do.
If you voted for Trump, are you happy about the things he is doing? Bombing Iran, deporting legal immigrants with no criminal record to countries they have never set foot in before, killing CITIZENS? How are your grocery bills? Can you afford to buy a house? Have you been invited to Mar a Lago recently? What has tRump done for you?
Bad Orange Man.

You’re right–it’s worse this time. He is lawless and out of control. His cult and minions are allowing him free rein or using him as a prop to establish Project 2025 as the rule of the land. It’s terrifying.

Of course I agree with everything you said about that madman in (what’s left of) the White House. As I’ve said before, despite not knowing you (really) or your husband, your marriage occupies a place in my brain. It’s in the same place where quantum physics resides. And the global economy. And calculus. And a million other mysteries. And ridiculous as it seems, I’m waiting for the day when you report that he’s had second thoughts. But I know that won’t happen. Such a mystery!!!
