20. I refuse to be a victim.

There's not much I can do now other than volunteer and vote but I take great solace in the fact that the shitstorm about to be unleashed on Trump starting sometime in February latest is going to catch him by surprize.

Oh, he's got the power now, sure and no doubt imagines that power comes from from within and pictures himself a fountain of raw animal magnetism, a born aristocrat surely anointed to rule us peons and use people at his pleasure. As he'll come to see however, that power does not come from within and he's in for a rude awakening when the trappings surrounding the Office of the Presidency fall away from his lard ass.

Normally, the old GOP looked after it's own and protected them once their job was done but I'm not so sure that will happen in his case. In fact, I'm pretty sure it won't. He's made way too many enemies within what's left of the Republican party and it may be pay back time with what's left of the old guard.

He's of little use to Putin now either since the authorities are on to their money laundering operation and he'll no doubt be cast aside as just another election loser, a one hit wonder. Considering his diet, how out of shape and overweight he is and all he knows he may just suffer some sudden, traumatic medical event and exit the stage before his next act as a singer or teller of tales. Who knows?

As he himself would say, we'll have to see what happens.
