Did you see all those adorable young women who applauded the fact that they can now compete fair and square in their chosen sport?

We've seen him use youngsters like them to fan hate and direct discrimination towards trans women especially and trans folk in general. For years. 

Trump is 78 years old. He's never been interested in doing the right thing before - why would he start now?

I saw none of that. Those girls were ecstatic that they'll be able to compete with their own (bio) gender. It has nothing to do with discrimination. If you're a bio woman, do you really want to get into a boxing ring with a bio man?? You'd be knocked on your ass in about 3 minutes. That's not hate, it's reality!

Have you been stalking Trump for 78 years?  Do you believe in redemption?  Or would you prefer to remain stagnant in your thoughts?

I do believe in redemption. Does he? In an interview Trump said he didn't have anything to repent (last time around, I'm sure a Google search will turn it up). Hard to redeem someone who doesn't think they need it. 

I don't care one way or the other about Trump the person. I do care about what he and his cronies are doing to the  government.  It wasn't perfect but it mostly worked. I don't see Musk rooting around Treasury as a good thing.  I don't see alienating Canada, Mexico, Denmark and Panama as good things. My 401k doesn't see Trump as a good thing. 

Just keeping up with the chaos is exhausting.

I actually foolishly thought, given his age, that perhaps he would stop focusing on revenge and lining his own pockets and surprise us all by turning into a decent person concerned with leaving a legacy to be proud of.  I was so very, very wrong.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.  Trump is who he is.  He is never going to change. And why would he?  His whole life he has gotten away with things that would have destroyed other people.

True. This is all that gives me hope for the future. Only Trump gets away with being Trump.
