My prayer is, we survive his presidency. Never in my life has that really been in question. That, now, is is something that most urgently needs to be addressed.
"We" survived George W. Bush. "They" survived Obama. "Never in my life" only covers a fraction of our history. Most of us here were born after the end of WWII. None participated in it or recall those days before when we were attempting to rise above the Great Depression...the worst economic crisis in the history of the world.
There have been other horrible presidents in our history and somehow the Union has survived. I'm fully aware of the stormclouds over this presidency but, still and yet, I look for the silver lining. Donald Trump will fail miserably. His Congress will achieve new lows. Millions will suffer, hard lessons will be learned. But, in the end, I believe we will rise above this.
