Are Americans addicted to Trump?

The election was two weeks ago, and the key state projections that made it clear that Joe Biden is our president-elect are 10 days old. But Donald Trump is still coursing through our veins, isn't he?

All the signatures of Trump intoxication - the rush of indignation, the paranoid agitation, the hallucinatory blur of endless news cycles - are still powerfully in effect in American public life.

It is one last surprise that he is managing to tighten his grip on the consciousnesses of those who loathe him, no less than his supporters, even as he is about to become just another former president.

    I have to admit that at this point, his detractors are reading everything they see about him just to laugh in his face and to mock him.  To be honest, I have probably deleted more Trump posts on Facebook than what I've read.  I can't stand to look at him or anyone in his family and I really don't care what he thinks.

    I see him as a evil clown that has a plastic flower on  his lapel that shoots out coronavirus  instead of water.  He is also a clown with the  launch codes so that's pretty scary too. Cheers!

    He doesn't plan on leaving the white house.
    He continuously builds his dictatorship.
