So tired, tired of waiting! When is the judge going to treat him like any other defendant? He is NOT above the law. Everyone needs to see that he isn’t. Put him in the jail each night behind the court room. Shut him up until the trial is over. Do something. And the other trial in NY where he has to pay the fine( I’ve lost count of which one), they should take over all his properties. I’m sick and tired of him. When he’s on the news I mute him and hold up a fork to pretend he’s behind bars. Thank you, Mary, you are fighting for us and it’s most difficult for you. God bless us all!
I prefer to mute and not listen to him considering his very annoying voice is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard or a saw on a rock. That voice has poisoned the minds of millions and those anus resembling lips would probably scare the hell out of most proctologists. Scary that he's still the ugly face of the twisted GOP and hasn't gone away yet.
I didn’t know that others saw his mouth like an anus. From the first time I saw him that has been emblematic is his character and repulsive, overriding some otherwise attractiveness as a much much younger man
Everytime I see a picture of him with his mouth open, I think "pie hole". Now I will see it a little differently - giving new meaning to the word asshole. And there's something about his voice, which I think has drawn some vulnerable people into his cult. Neuro-linguistic programming? I can't stand to hear him. I have also despised him since sometime in the 70s - I'm from Long Island - whenever he started showing up in the newspapers, I felt repulsed.
Rick, Great take on so accurate, vivid ,word-image of Donny’s O “posterior” Ugly mouth shape is A Gotcha! I can see it now: Campaign Poster’s For Biden-With Big Photo’s of Ugly O-Face of Con/Don ID’ with Would You Want Grossness? It’s enough to make folks vomit.
“When he’s on the news I mute him and hold up a fork to pretend he’s behind bars.” Thank you!
It actually scares me when i realize the extent to which I positively loath tffg. Didn’t know I could feel that strongly about anyone. Cannot wait until he is gone.
You did a great job of describing the words that he uses ALL THE TIME. His vocabulary is so limited. His understanding of people is so limited. Everything about him is so limited. Also, very done with him.
Yes, I'm exhausted! I don't want to see his face, hear his voice, or read any more stories about him. But there's nowhere I can go to escape it. Even MSNBC, which at least refers to him as "disgraced etc." with every mention, is part of it. As to his minions, I'm certain I'm not the only one who's lost family because of him. My brother, whom I raised, has declared me dead because brother prefers the public asshole. I've heard a psychic say he won't make it to November- major catastrophe to occcur in May or October. Though it's magical thinking, I'll hang on to it. Anything else is too terrifying.
Or how about a Secret Service agent's mishap perhaps?! Guess I'd better watch what I say. Who knows who is watching these days. I just know I've been waiting 9 long years like the rest of you. My family can't take much more of this. 💔💔💔
He's like a g.d. shingles virus outbreak that lurks, festers then erupts into a scalding torment. Sick to death of being help capitive by a man whose IQ and age are the same. Even more upset that no one hammered him hard from the start of this 2020 bullshit. Dump isn't special. He's a freak's freak. He has cunning which is instinctive.
Re his IQ: My partner read somewhere that it was actually tested when he went to that military school his parents thought would discipline him. And you are wrong, Tsalagi. :>) He's 77 years of age about to be 78. His IQ measured at 73! I'm sorry I don't have sources for this sad little factoid, but it has the ring of truth to it, don't you think?
I’ve had shingles for a year now and you absolutely right, he is exactly like an outbreak… “scalding torment”. He definitely is a freak’s freak. Well said.
Thank you. I’m doing much better, the shingle pimples (that’s what I call them) only pop up occasionally and I found a cream that actually works, now if I could get rid of the neuropathy that is still lingering I’d be so much better.
Yep! Now I can’t have one until 4 months after my last outbreak, hopefully by this fall I’ll be able to, if the occasional shingle pimple (😂) doesn’t show up. So far it’s been a month, fingers crossed for 3 more months.
I suspect his IQ is around 120-130, high enough to make him think he’s brilliant. But too low for him to understand that IQ is just one of a multitude of tests that show how well someone takes a test.
It’s also very skewed toward Northern European educated people and has nothing to do with one’s humanity.
Mary, I wish yer photo would start a trend like this...replace his photo with something similar/anything but his face! .I'm sure many, many, many,many,many, people are tired of his face....and would just appreciate the change. Thx
Congratulations, Mary. As a clinician, I so appreciate your perfect analysis of his character and psychopathology. Beautifully written and why so many people are blind is beyond me. If they were stupid or all being paid off that would be one thing. But the majority are not. The Republican Party is corrupt and disrupted and a charlatan is leading the dance. This country is perhaps the main protection of freedom in the world and without us we descend into heaven knows what kind of global hell. I am so sick of him, his posturing, his whining, his play acting. We need a break from him--a permanent one. When he started spouting "Make American Great Again," America was great. There was nothing to make great again. What he and his MAGA followers meant was make America white again. Soooo sick of him.
No surprises. I turned off my tv, computer, and phone yesterday because I could not take one more sound, sight or mention of him! I hit most of your points explaining to Gomez why it was so eerily silent in the apartment. Thinking I was settled down, I read a few essays today on Project 2025. What! Claiming it was not specific to him, they also admitted it lined up well with his retribution and grievance spiel. It's frightening at a new level when thinking he has any opportunity at all to slither back into the Oval. Not surprisingly, I can imagine people like Thomas, Alito, Bannon, Patel, and Congressional Republicans, heck, who knows how many, as they claim high-level Republicans are working with them now. They are actively planning to change our lives as we know it. Tell me I am exaggerating. Tell me I'm starting down a conspiracy theory. Please tell me it's not so! My disdain and hatred for what this man ushered in and promoted is deeper than ever.
I'm wondering how this general depression is affecting the mental health practitioners? Ikeep hoping to see an article -- or TV show -- on how this actually is affecting people. A bit of research on the part of a journalist is all it would take.
I’m a therapist and believe me, it greatly affects my clients and myself as well. Most of my left-leaning clients are highly anxious and disillusioned with the situations he has caused not just in the US but all over the world. People are DEFINITELY feeling demoralized. I live in a red state, too, so it’s difficult every. single. damn. day. Like Mary, I long for the day he becomes irrelevant.
I am so glad you mentioned this - in fact, this is why I came here to read the comments. I have been feeling the underlying miasma that is sapping my creative spirit. I keep telling myself I should stop tuning in to any version of "news" because it is all about him. And the threat to democracy... everything we've held sacred in America. I never saw myself as such a patriot, but I guess I am. And this depression... I need to turn towards art and writing and get away from all this but I find it impossible to look away and I feel frozen when it comes to creating anything. I hope Mary will write a little more about this phenomenon of exhaustion and ennui.
Leilah, you describe these emotions so well. Among the day-to-day “normal” frustrations l feel, the unending pressure of a possible Orange dictatorship is crushing to my motivation. I attribute this drag on my practice as an artist to
Thanks for your reply. I'm doing more exercise and eating really healthy... it's a committment to myself, I guess. If only I could somehow motivate creatively... it's an intention... but my spirit feels like it's sitting and staring into space. UGH! This comment thread is like a group therapy session. I wish for you - and myself - to have a spark of energy revive your creative practice. I think it's important for the energy of the world to radiate our creativity no matter what's going on! And I guess, to allow for the moments of staring off into space...
Yes, so important to stay healthy. I paint too even if it a fraction of what I was doing because it is with a group I enjoy. That’s part of my self care.
Thank you for sharing. Brave! All the sex assault stuff the sex criminal dragged up in the press over the past 10 years—with court cases and AccessHollywood tapes, etc. has traumatized “me, too” (pun intended there for sure.) And by a fukcing POTUS! 😫😡
I can only imagine the depth of your feelings. I posted a similar piece a few days ago. But I am just an observer. I wish he had kept but one promise. The one where he said if he lost he would just disappear. So yes, I think that there are millions of us who are tired- but we still need to fight on.
Feels like an assault, Because IT IS an Assault to our All our Senses, as our Bodies Know the Truth, internally, even when contradictory info may distract, mislead for a time. Brainwashing works, until Deprogrammed. Then dealing with the horror of what may have been done, when controlled by malevolent forces.
I dream of millions of us joining a class action lawsuit to go after him for constant gaslighting, hogging the media, excess cliché usage, disturbing my ears with that gravel voice, "dancing" at the podium, insulting people far better than he, behaving like a petulant 6-year-old in court, farting and pants shitting, giving us facial tics, pretending like his wife still loves him, ad nauseam.
OMG yes! After we win the case hands down we each get a $5 check in the mail and a voucher (paid for with Trump’s PAC $$) toward the liberal arts course of your choice at Columbia, Yale or Stanford! 😆
Wish someone would develop a digital video/audio mute for televisions to switch to a nice chill background when his mug, or voice, is detected. Would be easy to imbed that function in the digital stream...
Someone wrote a Chrome browser extension that replaces every picture of him with a picture of cats. It is LOVELY! I forget where I found it (probably a post from SubStack). I wish I could do that across all my devices.
Dry Drunk is the term for what you describe. “djt” comes from an alcoholic family system, a long line of alcoholics, and enablers, ( non-drinkers) who didn’t have addiction to alcohol, yet often had as many unhealthy habits and family dynamics were destructive, denial of normal needs for healthy children. Adults in family too distracted by crises caused by the alcoholics. Lots of denials any thing wrong, when constant turmoil. Crazymaking, difficult to survive.
So tired, tired of waiting! When is the judge going to treat him like any other defendant? He is NOT above the law. Everyone needs to see that he isn’t. Put him in the jail each night behind the court room. Shut him up until the trial is over. Do something.

A fork! I'm going to do that !! Thank you!
Great! Lol

That voice has poisoned the minds of millions and those anus resembling lips would probably scare the hell out of most proctologists.

I didn’t know that others saw his mouth like an anus. From the first time I saw him that has been emblematic is his character and repulsive, overriding some otherwise attractiveness as a much much younger man
I can't hardly stand it even when he's being mocked.
Just imagine his poor proctologist.
His proctologist would have difficulty with which set of lips to examine.
😆

You had me at “fork”.
Love the fork!
“When he’s on the news I mute him and hold up a fork to pretend he’s behind bars.” Thank you!
It actually scares me when i realize the extent to which I positively loath tffg. Didn’t know I could feel that strongly about anyone. Cannot wait until he is gone.
I'm going to try the fork. Good idea
🤣 My new slogan : FORK DJT!!
That’s absolutely hilarious

Praying for a strategic lightning strike on the golf course for which nobody but Mom Nature could be blamed😂.
For those familiar with “Breaking Bad,” a fate similar to that of Hector Salamanca seems fitting…
I'd settle for a big-mac-heart-attack lol 😂
A perfect end to the orange MF
Joe Kennedy had a massive stroke, spent many yrs, drooling in a wheel chair. One never knows what Mother Nature has in store for even rich & infamous.
We can dream lol
I'll take that.
Yes!
Or how about a Secret Service agent's mishap perhaps?! Guess I'd better watch what I say. Who knows who is watching these days. I just know I've been waiting 9 long years like the rest of you. My family can't take much more of this. 💔💔💔
Hope it’s true!
So sorry!💙
Sure hope the catastrophe is prison.
A lot of psychics and tarot readers on youtube say the same thing. I feel it as well. I've "seen" him in some kind of mental facility.
As long as there's a lot of locks
And they take his phone 📱
And don't let him post on the internet
He's like a g.d. shingles virus outbreak that lurks, festers then erupts into a scalding torment. Sick to death of being help capitive by a man whose IQ and age are the same. Even more upset that no one hammered him hard from the start of this 2020 bullshit. Dump isn't special. He's a freak's freak. He has cunning which is instinctive.
Re his IQ: My partner read somewhere that it was actually tested when he went to that military school his parents thought would discipline him.

I'm sorry I don't have sources for this sad little factoid, but it has the ring of truth to it, don't you think?
like shingles 😂
I’ve had shingles for a year now and you absolutely right, he is exactly like an outbreak… “scalding torment”. He definitely is a freak’s freak. Well said.
Thank you. I’m doing much better, the shingle pimples (that’s what I call them) only pop up occasionally and I found a cream that actually works, now if I could get rid of the neuropathy that is still lingering I’d be so much better.
A reminder to all to get the shingles vaccine!
Yep! Now I can’t have one until 4 months after my last outbreak, hopefully by this fall I’ll be able to, if the occasional shingle pimple (😂) doesn’t show up. So far it’s been a month, fingers crossed for 3 more months.
Do ya really think his IQ is as high as his age? I am doubtful!
Would that be his chronological age you are referring to, or his emotional age? Love your comparison to shingles. It seems very appropriate.
I think his IQ is closer to his shoe size. He is like shingles that never goes away. So sick of him.
How can campaign use analogy of DJT & Shingles be used? It’s an Accurate comparison, no doubts about it for anyone who experienced them.
I suspect his IQ is around 120-130, high enough to make him think he’s brilliant. But too low for him to understand that IQ is just one of a multitude of tests that show how well someone takes a test.
It’s also very skewed toward Northern European educated people and has nothing to do with one’s humanity.

I’m so sorry you are surrounded by these people 😢

Good for you making commitments to self to eat well and try to make your workouts.
💙💙
He is directly responsible for my mental breakdown in 2020. I am better now having gotten help. I wonder how many others were affected like I was.
Thank you for sharing. Brave! All the sex assault stuff the sex criminal dragged up in the press over the past 10 years—with court cases and AccessHollywood tapes, etc. has traumatized “me, too” (pun intended there for sure.) And by a fukcing POTUS! 😫😡

Soooo tired.
Feels like assault.
I agree, Elizabeth!
To me, the past 3 years have been exhaustingly WORSE than his 2017 - 2021 "presidency".
Thank you, Mary, for your insightful column. 💙
Yes because now we KNOW how terrible he'll be, and with sycophants to back him up. Not one honest person.
It’s all so terrible.
Feels like an assault, Because IT IS an Assault to our All our Senses, as our Bodies Know the Truth, internally, even when contradictory info may distract, mislead for a time. Brainwashing works, until Deprogrammed. Then dealing with the horror of what may have been done, when controlled by malevolent forces.
I’d love it if we could press charges against him and his enablers.
F*** YES!!!
So sick of him questioning if in the years I lived in nyc - wondering if I ever walked in any proximity to this horrific being.
If I came into proximity of him I would run a black light over my body.
Hahhaha! 'a black light' :D
😷😵💫🤕🤢🤮
Yes I get it. We had him in Buffalo too ugh!!
I dream of millions of us joining a class action lawsuit to go after him for constant gaslighting, hogging the media, excess cliché usage, disturbing my ears with that gravel voice, "dancing" at the podium, insulting people far better than he, behaving like a petulant 6-year-old in court, farting and pants shitting, giving us facial tics, pretending like his wife still loves him, ad nauseam.
I’m in.
I'll sign up. Where do we find a lawyer who would seriously take the case?
OMG yes! After we win the case hands down we each get a $5 check in the mail and a voucher (paid for with Trump’s PAC $$) toward the liberal arts course of your choice at Columbia, Yale or Stanford! 😆
OMFG I can't wait to NEVER SEE OR HEAR HIM AGAIN. EVER!
The voice of a dead fog horn.
🤣🤣🤣
YES YES YES YES YES I AM!
Wish someone would develop a digital video/audio mute for televisions to switch to a nice chill background when his mug, or voice, is detected. Would be easy to imbed that function in the digital stream...
Enough is enough...
Suggest it to AI
Someone wrote a Chrome browser extension that replaces every picture of him with a picture of cats. It is LOVELY! I forget where I found it (probably a post from SubStack). I wish I could do that across all my devices.
He talks a lot like my relatives did back when they were drinking.

And he doesn’t have that excuse.
