3. Tom Friedman's column in tomorrow's NY Times

Mr. Friedman makes this interesting point:

To me, the most striking feature of Trump’s presidency was that year after year he kept surprising us on the downside. Year after year he plumbed new depths of norm-busting, lying and soiling the reputations of everyone who entered his orbit. But he never once — not once — surprised us on the upside with an act of kindness, self-criticism or reaching out to opponents.

There is no "upside" with Trump. He's a bottom dweller constantly looking for new depths.

Damn, I'm glad he'll be gone tomorrow.
