So true! I think it is hard for some people to really understand that Trump is amoral and literally only cares about himself…..because for most of us - that is a truly foreign concept - to not care about anyone but yourself. I lived thru it with my ex and coming to understand he really only cared about himself took me some time to accept as I just couldn’t wrap my head around that thinking or thought process. I gave him so many excuses like the media gives Trump but in the end and bottom line - neither has the desire to care about anyone but themselves.

Jim, you keep delighting me with your work and your insights. Yesterday's piece took a couple reads before I grasped everything, and I finished it today while waiting in line at the store. The reward of "getting" it was a feeling of calm and of hope. Your words today wrap it up nicely. Love is the answer, scientifically and mathematically, to the hateful problem we face. As long as we insist on what’s right and refuse to accept hate as the norm, I believe we’ll win the battle.

You've got all the building blocks of an important literary chronology(a book) detailing what has happened to the country, namely, a psychological war on democracy. I know of no other writer who has covered this ground; it's been educational and indeed inspiring to come along on the ride. Much thanks, Jim, only love conquers hate.

Thanks Allan. Funny to come full circle through all this to the simplest most intuitive rule of all. Thanks for all the support. 💙

If we don't want history to repeat itself, we really need to understand how things happen. You've done an excellent job of peeling back the onion. The more people who know, the better.

Thank you for this article, Jim. It comes down to the most powerful force in the world, which is love. No matter what happens, they can never take that away from us.

Yeap… love! A feature that much too many are essentially fucking lacking. Von trump is not the only one. He belongs to a lunatic asylum. Straight. An truly impolite non educated piece of shit. An abomination. The quicker the better. Day by day he is damaging America and its reputation (what remained being honest) on the world stage. Without the rest of the world the US of A would be in deep kimchi. Oups… sorry kimchi. Get rid of this fucker and his corrupt goons. Seize his assets and his family ones too. Thank you!
