Never have I approached anything with the caution I am using on Trump 2.0. I stubbornly cling to Hope, not because it is sensible but only because life is too grim for a puny human being without it. My expectations have been pushed down to almost zero.
How long will it take before we can see him stepping into the 'Peace with Honor' trap that Nixon used to extend the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1975? Perhaps Trump will try to avoid that trap. But the first time somebody accuses him of looking "weak" relative to Putin, he will fall for the trap. Then the Democrats can smirk about how they destroyed his administration right at the beginning.
So let's think of cheerful things on this day of his inauguration. Like mindless eye-candy. I have quite a backlog of photos from this fall's migration that haven't been used.
