I was trying to figure out if I had this “Trump derangement syndrome” that I read about in an article recently. I read somewhere that it is more his character than policies that are the problem. Being a Democrat, I do not agree with all the Republican policies, but that doesn’t mean I hate all Republicans. I try to listen and not reflexively tune them out. I feel there is room for both.

    Sloth - avoided presidential duties to watch TV for hours, live tweets the TV he’s watching for hours, is never prepared for meetings, delegates work and then takes credit for it.

    Thanks for adding some detail to support my post. I thought about doing it but felt it might become overwhelming. Since you’ve done so already, I will add one more thing for Sloth. It’s a weird one too. Trump believes that we are born with only so much energy and if you exercise you use it up and will die quicker.

    After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, “You are going to die young because of this.”
