BTRTN: Christmas Schadenfreude... Celebrating the Misery that Awaits Donald Trump in 2021

Born To Run The Numbers on the avalanche of misery awaiting Donald Trump as of 12:01 on January 20... all, so richly deserved:

"The truth is that there has always been a simple explanation for the 'It can’t possibly get any worse' phenomenon. Donald Trump has an addiction to media coverage. Like any addict, he must strengthen the doses over time to get the same high.

I throughly enjoyed this read. I am going to enjoy hearing about him being exposed and even more seeing his supporters get embarrassed they ever supported him.
