We normally look at Presidents and point out how quickly the office ages them.
This is the first time that the President looks the same as he did on Election Day but the rest of the country looks ten years older.

I friggin' *feel* 10 years older than I did in 2016.

(22,037 posts)All previous presidents took their jobs seriously and worked very hard. The stress and the strain visibly ages them.
Trump doesn't do any work. He doesn't take any responsibility. He doesn't study.
Trump watches lots of TV. He plays lots of golf. He tweets a lot.
The only stress Trump experiences comes from the investigations surrounding him. He knows he's being cornered.
It has been exhausting since Trump announced his candidacy. Mr. Cobb is correct that we, as a nation, have aged ten years.
Sadly, our aging has not generally brought wisdom to too many Americans.
