Donald Trump has been the president of the United States for 77 days.
(The next presidential inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 2029. Assuming that actually and legitimately happens, can you really afford another 1,384 days of this?)

Tomorrow is going to be lit. And by "lit" I mean that your historyoscope says "avoid walking under any tall buildings with windows".

This is not a mere shift in US governance. This is a shift in US prominence.
