1. "They'll be some pain"

I guess we haven’t gotten to day one yet.

Trump weakening the world for putin? Republicans doing nothing? Rand Paul making sense? Poor people getting poorer? Billionaires yachts not getting larger? Trumps family remains invisible?

And let’s give a special shout out to those who wore stupid red hats and now tell us “I didn’t vote for this.”

2. That's the thing, no one voted for this. The MAGAts believed they were voting for lower prices. We voted for sanity.

No one is getting what they wanted and yet we're all inexplicably stuck with this insanity - a guy who is seeking retribution against this country and now the rest of the world.

3. I LOVE STUPID PEOPLE

And I’ll be golfing and winning tournaments all weekend. I never won anything all my life because I’m me. Now I win everything, because of stupid people.

4. And people forget, despite having inherited a fortune, there's a reason he went bankrupt six times.

5. I inherited nothing

My wife (one of four siblings) got a small slice of her families pie. We have a wonderful life together. We are able to give on a very regular basis. We are richer than trump and musk will ever be.

6. After my mother died - due to an accident - my brother and I both inherited from our father

A workaholic who always saved and invested since he lost his own father at age 12. But how this will turn out after TFG's mismanagement of the economy is anyone's guess. And to be honest, I'd certainly rather have my Dad still with us, but I cringe to imagine how he'd react to the insanity that is facing this country now. And my grandmother, too, who always voted for "the party of Lincoln," like her father, but woke up in 1992 and voted for President Clinton (twice). I can't even imagine what she'd think now.

7. God Bless You My Dear

After 53 years of voting for Democrats I have never, ever said, I didn’t vote for this.
