He could have been a rich guy who cared. He could have really helped the working class. He could have really improved healthcare. He could have led in any number of good initiatives.
But, no.
He has selfishly loafed his term away. He has squandered that which is finite and final.
He squandered our time.

I know trump first ran in the primaries for publicity, with no thoughts of winning. But, when you wake up in the White House and recognize all the power one has to do good, it takes a special kind of sicko to squander it.

except of course he is also being blackmailed, so there is that...
