I believe that when Donald J. Trump becomes a <em>former<\/em> president of the United States that he will become the most insufferable ex-president in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s on Jan. 20 2021, or Jan. 20, 2025 or &#8212; one can hope &#8212; sooner than the former date, Trump will not go out gracefully, quietly, serenely into the night. He won&#8217;t retire at Bedminster, or Mar-a-Lago and settle down to do whatever it is former presidents usually do. He won&#8217;t build houses for poor folks; he won&#8217;t likely raise money for disaster victims; he likely won&#8217;t spend a lot of time planning his presidential library (the very thought of which makes me chuckle).<\/p>\n<p>I am trying to imagine a world infused with constant Twitter messages. And by &#8220;constant&#8221; I mean, well, <em>constant<\/em>. It&#8217;ll be 24\/7. We&#8217;ll be inundated, buried, overwhelmed by tweets from the former president. He&#8217;ll be in the news every hour . . . <em>daily<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that something to which we can all look forward? Aren&#8217;t you excited? I didn&#8217;t think so. I know I&#8217;m not.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit of a conundrum for Trump critics, such as yours truly. I don&#8217;t want him in office, but neither do I welcome the notion of being bombarded by an incessant, relentless, thoughtless barrage of idiocy from a former president&#8217;s Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>Ain&#8217;t it a bitch?<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have sworn off making political predictions &#8212; for the most part.
