Don't expect things back to normal as soon as he's out

By Jill Filipovic

... I don't know how we un-break what Trump has broken.

Trump has an .. ability .. typically found in .. toddlers .. to make .. anything about him ... "HISTORIC rainfall in Houston, and all over Texas. Floods are unprecedented, and more rain coming. Spirit of the people is incredible.Thanks!" he tweeted .. in a series of responses that sounded .. like .. crowing over .. campaign .. crowd sizes. Oh and he did that too – "what a crowd, what a turnout," he noted .. when he visited Corpus Christi ...

... He isn't just .. the tacky gold-plated billionaire; he's President ... And .. these .. changes – in the compassion with which a president treats the citizens of the country, in the solemnity with which he treats the office – .. change .. what we expect from the president.

What we expect now is chronic narcissism, juvenile observations, a goldfish-length attention span, and sub-zero compassion.
