9. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

There are quite a few photos from Felon47's first term that show exactly the same thing -- it looks like he's leaning into the wind. Trump has certain proclivities: he must be on any list of the richest people; he must be first, even if it means he has to shove another nation's leader out of the way; he must be last, so all eyes are on him as he makes his entrance (usually after making everyone wait); he can never be seen as a loser, nor weak, nor not knowing more than anyone else in the world about any topic. He must be the tallest person in a group, which is where this photo comes into play. There has been speculation -- backed by non-altered photographic evidence -- that he wears lifts. That's not misinformation or disinformation or alternate facts. It's just a fact. How the facts are interpreted is up to the viewer. Personally, I don't care if he wears lifts or not. I just thought it was a funny photograph.

A few other facts: Trump will rail against someone on social media and call him or her childish names, but when standing face-to-face he doesn't act that way. He's like the class clown who has been sent to the principal's office for discipline.

He is extremely uncomfortable around strong women -- especially strong women of color. Watch the presser where L.A. Mayor Bass is laying out the steps that are being taken to recover from the disaster. He couldn't let her state a single fact without jumping in to contradict her with a lie. Mayor Bass: "We are working hard to make sure areas are safe so we can let people return to their homes as soon as possible." Felon47: "They don't need to wait. They can go today. People can just grab dump trucks and go to their homes and begin cleaning up now."

We're stuck with this asshole for the next four years, so we each will find our personal way to cope. Denial, fantasy (Jan. 6th didn't happen, or if it did, it was a Love Fest), keep your head down and try not to anger the King (the Repugs response, it seems), etc. I choose humor, specifically theater of the absurd. It's working so far.
