After the presidency and 9 years of campaigning for it Trump has to be wondering whether or not it's worth it.

The only other president that I can think of in recent history that was harassed like Trump was George w Bush. His harassment actually might have been worse if I recall correctly. Trump is visibly spent and almost looks like he's happy the whole thing is over however it ends. His legal battles will now fizzle away because there is no longer any purpose for them. The legal actions were never about the law they were always about politics.

The rest of it is up to us. Do we move forward as a unified nation regardless of the results? I fear those days are past.

A few observations:

1. You couldn't pay me enough to be the president. Not nearly enough.
2. Those who want the job the most probably shouldn't have it.

Allowing political differences to destroy families is double plus ungood. I have family that is equally ardent as I am about politics, just on the opposite side. We do not allow that to come between us because family matters more than who gets our votes.
 
The more people realize how badly the media lies to them, the more will wake up and things will move decisively towards normal.
I do believe the days of the talking heads being authoritative are rapidly coming to an end. There are none I am aware of who have the respect from all sides of the aisle that, say, Cronkite had.

The idea that Trump is "in it for himself" is so ridiculous. Financially he's taken a bath, and his "brand" has been tarnished as well.

He usually handles it well. I think he has become more hardened and philosophical about it or maybe he trusts we the people more to fight those battles for him as he seems to be less focused on the dishonesty and more on literally saving the nation from leftist intent

But the Marxist minded Democrats/leftists here at USMB and across the country demonstrate again and again that they have no honor, no morals, no integrity, no principles, no ethics re lying about Trump and anybody who supports him and most especially his/our agenda. And they turn a blind eye to their own sides' agenda and tactics.

Just this past week I seethed when Obama again spoke the lies about Trump's comments in Charlottesville years ago. Trump very clearly denounced any white supremacists in the same remark. And Harris continues to talk out of both sides of her mouth depending on who she is talking to.

Obviously you don't know U.S. history.
Family loyalties were very divided during the American Revolution.
The state of Kansas during the 1850's was a battleground as neighbor's killed each other over political differences.
During the Civil War family members fought for both sides during the conflict. "brother against brother"

I said OUR family does that.

We do need to unify, but not behind an asshole president. We need to unify and stop the elite from continuing to screw us.

True. Political differences, like religious differences, are very divisive.

The media will continue to make the Hitler analogies as people plant their knives in the back of Trump continuously, like they did the last time.

Nothing ever changes. Trump will just buy us all some time, hopefully, before the Dims come in and take literally all our money and freedoms they can once again.

Yeah....it's an inevitable onslaught.

Long past. The Democrats have shown us, conclusively, that they cannot lose their hate and partisanship. We're on our own.

Nah, they have shown us their weak spot.

Bush was harassed, but there is no comparison. He wasn't framed by the FBI as a Russian spy, he wasn't impeached twice (including after he had already left office), he never had phone calls with foreign leaders leaked to the press, his daughters were not vilified in the media, I could go endlessly about the smears that Trump had to endure.

It was bad for Bush, but it was infinitely worse for Trump. And it continued after he left office, and it never let up. Bogus court cases and all.

And amazingly he is still with us, I cannot think of anyone else who could withstand that kind of assault. The man is indefatigable.
