My brain subconsiously rejects this man as being the President.

I'm not even joking. It's not even a matter of accepting him as the President or acknowledging he's the President.

My brain has somehow blocked any notion that this man could possibly be the leader of my country.

The words "President" and "Donald Trump" are akin to like-poles of a magnet. They naturally repel each other, no matter how much effort is made to push them together.

Something tells me I'm not the only one.

every episode seems to include a joke along the lines of "'president trump', two words that still seem unnatural together, like f*ckable clown or wolf blitzer".

because that's an oxymoron. He might be technically the president but as far as I'm concerned the presidency no longer means anything that I am able to respect. He's defiling the office just as much as if he took a dump on the desk in the Oval Office every morning.

I've not used the title and his name together once. I avoid using either. He is simply the shitgibbon to me.

I keep waking up hoping to find it was just a bad dream. I mean, just a short time ago we had one of our finest presidents ever
